Start-up information for game G1:

1. All new players start in the Imperial City. The location of the Imperial City is shown on the rough ASCII map.

   The Imperial City and the surrounding province are a Safe Haven. This means that players may not initiate attacks there. No building of permanent structures (towers, inns, castles) is permitted in safe havens, although shipbuilding is allowed in the Imperial City.

   Magic use of any kind is banned in the Imperial City safe haven. This parallels the no-building and no-combat ordinances.

2. New players [as of turn 18] start with 200 gold and 25 peasants. In addition, they have access to more gold and some wood which they can obtain with CLAIM.
3. Everyone should have the following files:
   • The latest rules
   • The list of Frequently Asked Questions about the rules
   • Sample turn
   • Map of Olympia
   • Getting Started in Olympia, by Jay Legue and Dan Corrin

   If you're missing some of these files, grab them from ftp.pbm.com in pub/olympia, or send a note to info@pbm.com to obtain them via email.
