To that end, what kind of multiplayer scenarios could promote this? First player to produce X of Y? (100 scythes for example) - "it's harvest time!" "Deliver to the flag" maps - a central area has a warehouse for each player. The players start towards the edge of the map, and may be separated from each other by sea, lava, desert or mountains (prohibiting warfare, or there may be channels open to permit a little disruption). The aim is to be the first to deliver X gold, X meals and X beer to their warehouse (as a donation to the gods for example) Any thoughts? Top Quote

I think one could build really interesting games/scenarios with it. But why use a warehouse? At least in the long term it would be nice to have a special building "temple/market hall/what ever" for this. Maybe even some building that has different colored flags at each site, and different (or some kind mixed)-owned land around, such that every player can connect. (But i fear the last point would be a rather bigger project) Top Quote

It would also be interesting if competing tribes had to provide wares to a monument / offering to the gods, which is built as wares are delivered. Whoever delivers the most value, wins!

This is very similar, only that always two players can 'trade' via some warehouses and the first team to trade a number of wares wins. Top Quote
