The rule could be anything, as funny or as serious as you want. The universe will progress in a similar way that it has up until this point, unless your changed rule prevented it from doing so.

Some examples might be:

  • The invention of currency is not allowed.
  • Iron is slightly less stable.
  • The Ancient Greeks are able to cultivate Silphium, which does not go extinct now.

      No, it’s more like

      "teamplay": 1;
      "coop": 1;
      

      and then you punt your buddies into lava with the rocketlauncher.
