Mapmaker looking for players - Indie picks

[Commodore]

Hey all, been fiddling about recently with some map/civ concepts for a PBEM using some of the less-seen leaders and civs and figured I'd see if anyone wanted to play it here as PBEM 29. I had some decent, not terrible but not great leaders with at least some mildly synergistic civs, if I can get four people volunteering for them I'll make the map, I figure a first-come-first-served basis for the leaders:

[SIZE="5"]VETS:[/SIZE]
[SIZE="4"]Gaspar is: Mao (Exp/Pro) of Babylon[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]Lewwyn is: Justinian (Spi/Imp) of Persia[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]Mackoti is: FDR (Ind/Org) of Sumeria[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]No7 is: Suleiman (Phi/Imp) of Korea[/SIZE]

Rules:

No war elephants,
no corporations,
no nukes,
no spies,
no great spy infiltrations,
no blockades,
no barbarians.

[SIZE="5"]GREENS:[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]Catwalk is: Suleiman (Phi/Imp) of Korea[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]Sian is: FDR (Ind/Org) of Sumeria[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]Spacetyrantxenu is: Mao (Exp/Pro) of Babylon[/SIZE]

[SIZE="4"]Kuro is: Justinian (Spi/Imp) of Persia[/SIZE]

Rules:

No war elephants,
no corporations,
no nukes,
no spies,
no great spy scouting,
no great spy infiltrations,
no blockades,
no barbarians.

The map would be not unlike PBEM 23's in that all would share a landmass but islands also exist and matter, although the shape/wrap/size would of course be different. I'm agnostic on bans, Barbs, and difficulty.

Gaspar and I might be interested in this if it's CTON.

[SevenSpirits]

I might be interested, and only if it's CTON (NH, I assume you mean no talking, and not the MP lobby always war etc). If so I'd want to play with a teammate or two.

I think FDR of Arabia is worse than the others. That's not necessarily a problem though.

The turn order trade route bug is going to be at its worst in this type of situation, so I hope that can be taken into account somehow.

[Commodore]

Yeah, FDR of the Arabs seems just slightly weaker than the others, which is why I offered the better if less indie Sumeria if the FDR player would like. CTON (AI diplo style) would work very well with my planned map.

One small aside, regarding difficulty, might want it in the Prince/Monarch category to not superpower Org and nerf Imp at the same time, maintenance will be toroidal.

[Lewwyn]

Interested if its a CTON.

NH are you and Gaspar going to team up?

[novice]

I might be interested, and only if it's CTON (NH, I assume you mean no talking, and not the MP lobby always war etc). If so I'd want to play with a teammate or two.

Dibs!

[Gaspar]

Oh excellent. Now if we can just get a T-hawk/Krill team to join up we'll have ourselves a nice, competitive game.

(Goes off to learn how to play Civ somewhere.)

[SevenSpirits]

Dibs!

Done

OK, we're in, though we're not reserving a leader/civ at this time.

Are barbs on? (I'd prefer yes if the mapmaker deems them optional.)

[Catwalk]

novice and SevenSpirits, would you accept me hopping on your team as half a player (ded lurker and occasional substitute)? I promise to follow instructions and not mess up (too badly)

[mackoti]

I can play FDR, but i would prefer sumeria instead of arabia.
