If they other players are okay with that, then sure. That said, I believe what's most fair is for the players to have the final word in who gets Basium, so if they have a dedicated lurker which they wish to install instead, they are free to do so. They built the wonder, after all =)

My preferences are in [COLOR="Lime"]Green
[/COLOR]
* Game speed? Quick.
* Starting era? Ancient
* Orthus: on or off? on
* Acheron: OFF
* Human take-over allowed for Basium and/or Hyborem? Fine with human takeover for any of them
* Difficulty level? I vote Immortal.
* Barb activity level? No preference if difficulty is immortal, raging otherwise.
* Wildlands? I vote yes.
* Last Days? No.
* Living World? I vote yes.
* Lairs? Yes.
* All Unique Features? Yes, but the "power trio" should not be at anyone's capital. No starting next to the Guardian either. Common sense stuff here.
* Map type? Please no island starts, they overemphasize the Overlords. I very much prefer that we do not have identical or mirrored starts. Fair distribution of mana nodes & strategic resources. Note that reagents are a strategic resource, as are pigs for the Khazad. No blasted hellscapes, please. "Terra" could be cool. Nothing really artificial looking like Donut.
* Diplomacy allowed? No preference- I'm fine with a normal game, CTON, or straight out AW
CIV preferences: not Charadon

Almost the same as Bob, changes are in red:
My preferences are in Green
* Game speed? Quick.
* Starting era? Ancient
* Orthus: on or off? on
* Acheron: OFF
* Human take-over allowed for Basium and/or Hyborem? Fine with human takeover for any of them
* Difficulty level? I vote Immortal.
* Barb activity level? No preference if difficulty is immortal, raging otherwise.
* Wildlands? No. Too many animals interfer with the barbarian spawning. It nerfs the barbarian trait, in my opinion, and Charadon is already a bad leader. I prefer lizardmen killing my opponents than damn bears eating Lucian.
* Last Days? No.
* Living World? I vote yes.
* Lairs? Yes.
* All Unique Features? Yes, but the "power trio" should not be at anyone's capital. No starting next to the Guardian either. Common sense stuff here.
* Map type? [COLOR="Red"]Mostly agree with Bob, but I'd like a special attention to the players starting land. The presence of a river and number of forests makes a HUGE difference in FfH. Charadon in a heavy forested area with no river = unplayable. You'll face Iron champions with your brinze axemen.

* Diplomacy allowed? [COLOR="Red"]Diplomacy enabled.

Civ Preferences: Not Khazad, like previously stated. If we go with six players and enable the Svarts, I'd like to play them. If we go with 5 players, you can leave me with Charadon.

If you guys do want to try a watery map, it could be made more viable by disabling Overlords.

One other strat resource should be included in your list: Deer for the Ljos (they need deer for their HA replacement unit).

I like Ichabod's preferences except Immortal seems a little rough to play with some of these leaders. I'd prefer Emperor w/ raging barbs.
For picking leaders, I prefer random.org but reroll if anybody's anti-preferences are chosen.

If you liked what I did for (to?) the PBEM 8 crew, I'd be willing to give a shot to a map for you guys too.

I don't know more than what was posted in one of the spoiler threads, but... is there any chance you can produce a map script that reliably does what you did with the Big Three in that game? From what little we've seen so far, that struck me as pretty cool.

No, I'm afraid I did that by hand. I don't know enough about map scripting to make a new script, just start with something close enough and tweak it to something that looks good.

Thanks for volunteering to make the map, Mardoc  I personally would prefer if the map were a little... greener than what FFH PBEM VIII is using, but otherwise you've got a free hand as long as our preferences are accounted for. Since none of these leaders are very good economically (I guess Falamar is okay), and some of them are outright terrible (looking at you, Charadon), the map might need to be a little bit more lush than is typical. Doesn't need to be a paradise, but something as deprived as what PBEM VI is playing on would utterly kill the game.
Elimist- Random.org would work for me. We can have someone roll up the leaders tomorrow, if there are no objections.
