Ah right you changed the thread into the update thread! That's why I got confused.
Firstly most importantly I am running GMT not eastern time and can play either before or after work short turns but for the longer later turns after work is defintely better, so GMT 1700-0000 roughly. I think that would put me in after Jowy nominally as it is about a 4-5 hour difference. After retep would definitely be too late and pre work is always a bit risky (like I planned to comment here pre work but woke up a little late!)
I also vote that if we are going snake pick then 1234554321 is best, especially as we are getting rid of a lot of civs that people always pick with no fin civs. That's like the top 8 picks gone so I think there is value in going for that. And as player 1 does have an ever so slight advantage perhaps the last picker of the snake pick could go player 1? Lol at allow fin/pro to be the only fin. That screams pick me and bunker down! Like to see starts first also.
Happy with the start settings now. What map type are we rolling though? Is it the hall of mirrors? Small/noble sounds good but depends on map type. I am still a fan of going for inland sea if I can convince anyone else? Or perhaps a pan. I guess I just like an edge to build against. My reservation with barbs was that if you go monarch or higher then they start with archery and they can spawn from like turn 25-30 which is a bit meh and unbalanced. However staying at noble/prince I am happy for them to be on.
Just noticed the no nukes - big fan. (Interestingly on simultaneous turns you can actually dodge nukes. Makes for very amusing gameplay)
Hopefully we can get going soon!
