Any interest in a PBEM? I'd like to try my hand again at multiplayer. Preferably 4-5 players who will be committed to the game(turn/day in general) but don't mind taking a few days off around the various holidays or if other work/life things come up (but DO communicate and let us know, don't just disappear for a few days). I'd like a competitive game, so more intermediate than green. I'd rather fight hard and lose than run away with the game. PBEM, BtS (no mods), no tech trading, and no communication are non-negotiables. Ai Diplo is preferred over AW, but everything else is somewhat negotiable with my thoughts/preferences below ...
* PBEM is a must - I don't want to join a pitboss game right now
* BtS, no mods
* speed Normal
* map - I prefer a more lush map, non-mirrored but reasonably balanced. For size I'd lean more towards cramped than roomy
* No FIN, India, or Inca ... anything else that should be banned?
* Scout start for everyone
* AI Diplo - no communication and no city gifting/trading
* huts off/random events off/vassals off/
* barbs on ???
* Elephants - banned
* no blockades
* Difficulty - ??? prince/emperor?
* No nukes
* No espionage missions. Spies/GSpy allowed to explore
* GLighthouse ban at mapmaker's discretion
* AP victory banned ... other AP resolutions banned (AP for hammers only)
My play window is 6pm-10pm Eastern Time US.
If this (or something close) interests you then sign up. If you're looking for something significantly different then you can raise your voice, but I'm not in a hurry and I'd rather end up with something pretty close to the above unless there's something obviously game-breaking that I've overlooked. I'd also be open to other more creative options for choosing civ/leader if the normal snake pick is too boring.
