I'd certainly prefer to see start before picks.

I didn't mention it before, WK. Kinda expected to get an answer to that map type question in the settings poll. If we had chosen a particular script we would know to base our picks on that

JesterFool, Has there been a game before where everyone saw their start before picking? How did it work out?

I remember seeing several PBEMs like that. I'd prefer to see starts beforehand as well, it allows you to react to the resources around, and maybe take a non Agri-Wheel Civ . Even without that though I'd much rather pick my leader and civ.

Regarding map type, a mirrored map is fine by me if whomever we get doesn't want to make a non-mirrored.

I think seeing start is a positive thing, especially if the mapmaker is "creative" with the start like Commodore in '49.

I think seeing starts before picking is a positive thing, especially considering some mapmakers like to punish agriculture civs.
It has been done in most recent pbems IIRC.

Oh yeah, didn't mention: I don't care about the map, but it should be checked by someone knowledgeable (Krill, plako) that it is fair and will be fun to play. Not sure if Krill would be willing to roll a few maps for us though, has anyone asked him yet?

@Jowy: We seem to be 10 teams, with BaII needing someone helping over the summer if I see it right. I think we could request a forum by now, would you do that?

@BaII: Maybe best if you search with a separate thread in the Civ General forum for help, as I could easily see that not being noticed in this thread anyway.

What mapscript? If you could point me to the other settings I could role a few.

I'd also like to make a suggestion that you turn vassals off, due to the effects on city maintenance on island maps.

That wasn't part of the voting?!?

Something always seems to be forgotten, doesn't it? Anyway, I completely agree with this.

Appears to be the settings thus far

Ditto.

On the topic of forgotten things, anyone for wonder bans? I'd like to ban SoZ and Cristo personally.

[Jowy]

Yeah.. I forgot Vassals. And also whether we want to ban Apostolic Palace or other wonders.
But no-one said anything, so I'm not taking the full fall for this :P
