Hi Old Harry, welcome aboard! Thanks a lot for dedlurking us, your input is much appreciated. And don't worry about giving bad advice. If it happens, it was probably Caledorns fault 
The suggestion in the opening post was for no restrictions on leaders or civs. Here are the rest of the original setting suggestions:
So what do we still need to figure out?
Difficulty (I think Emperor is standard? I don't really care one way or another here)
Map Settings (already voted for map-maker's choice)
Bans (original suggestion was hostile switch civics and religion, we also suggested map-maker's discretion for wonders)
View starts before leader selection (I say no)
Concession method (Do we really need this?)
What else???
Let's figure these things out and then post in the organizing thread to keep things moving, as per Krill's and Q's suggestions.
