Greeting everyone! 
I have already posted here asking people to help me with my research. I received very positive feedbacks, so I think this is a great place to ask for help once again! Thanks in advance for reading this post!
First, a short introduction. We are a group of second-year students in Game Design looking to make a mod for Civilization V Gods & Kings called "Nonvilent Challenge". We have partnered with a nonviolent organization from Paris named "Nonviolence XXI". This mod has been nominated for the e-virtuoses 2013 Awards, which is a ceremony of awards which recognizes the best Serious Games. The president of the jury is the legendary Chris Crawford. Here is the link of the ceremony:

We are participating in the category "Serious Gaming", which is taking a game and modifying it (through mods, analyses etc.) in order to convey a message. We wanted to make a mod where the player is given the tools to win the game against a military power without resorting to violence. Here is the mod in question:

What we're asking for is for people to play the mod and tell us what they think by answering a short survey which is located here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DUBhkT1klKrf67i1jiGK9kI3Gd4Pjctbet77h3l7I-Y/viewform
By telling us what you think, you will help us enormously towards achieving our goal, which is making a mod that does nonviolence justice. Keep in mind that nonviolent does not mean pacifism, it means fighting back without violence. And that's exactly what we want to convey to the mod's players.
We are learning, so we need as much feedback (both positive but especially negative) in order to improve. Your feedback will allow us to make the best mod we can. I know I'm asking for a lot, but know that were you to help, I would be very grateful for your help and mention you during the presentation of the mod.
Thank you very much for your time, and happy gaming.
