Yes, I have been created.
Basically, the Firaxis development team wanted me to probe, really probe my opponents and sabotage any single facility that is ever available to them.
The One City Challenge is on course now. Now, imagine if you ever have to win without any base facilities (apart from those that you build, that is, if you can ever build those Secret Projects) exclusive of inherited ones or secret project provisions.
As such, the challenge will be especially tough for the Spartans and Believers, although there is no restriction in your choice of the faction.

Please give me your most honest views as to whether this challenge would be possible or not?
------------------
Simple enough: 0
It will be hard: 1
Impossible: 0
------------------
Thanks a million!
(This is also suggested at the Apolyton forums in the hope that another Special Challenge could be created)
