Perhaps we could sort out the leaders/civs amongst ourselves to ensure fairness if you have no objections to that?
[SIZE="4"]Our ban list:[/SIZE]
Ceiliazul: Creative Industrious Ottomans Gingereagle: Imperialistic Industrious Expansive Aggresive Inca China Dazedroyalty: Financial Organized Creative Protective HRE Babylon Russia Commodore: Financial Organised Expansive Charismatic Mongolia HRE Carthage Kyan: Creative Imperialistic Philosophical Expansive Financial Babylon Maya India Netherlands
Using the above list, i've made a basic list. I am still 100% happy if you guys want lurkers to choose, but i figured i'd put something together in the meantime (mostly as i'm bored right now). If you guys are happy to choose our own, we can discuss and improve these options as you wish.
Ceiliazul: Shaka of Inca (EXP/AGG) Gingereagle: Willem of India (FIN/CRE) Dazedroyalty: Suleiman of China (PHI/IMP) Commodore: Ramesses of Maya (SPI/IND) Kyan: Napoleon of Persia (ORG/CHA) This is, obviously, just a first draft. I've given the newer guys more powerful combos. Please give me your thoughts, i intended no offence with these options. The civs are fairly 'cookie cutter' as i was too afraid of offending people to choose weaker options  EDIT: Oh and each trait is only there once. We don't have to play it that way, but i just threw it in as a quirk.
Perhaps have some impartial lurker suggest sets, accounting for greenery/success (meaning probably the quality of combos should go GE > Ceil > Dazed/me? > Kyan)? The ban lists already kind of set that up, although given Ceil's 25g performance I'd say no Fin better than Wang Kon, seriously.
*edit, although the above list isn't horrible except for possibly over-powering Ceil and under-powering Dazed.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out. Commodore Wrote:*edit, although the above list isn't horrible except for possibly over-powering Ceil and under-powering Dazed. I think that list has it about right... Commodore is just directing attention away from being SPI and the solo IND  I haven't done a dossier on Dazed, but I do think the gap between me and Dazed/Comm is a bit bigger than Commodore is suggesting. :neenernee Plako, I look forward to the map. Edit: there's a lurker thread already?? Edit2: wow, A whole populated forum already. shows how plugged in i am... I'll hold off on making a thread until I get leader picks. Ceiliazul Wrote:Edit2: wow, A whole populated forum already. shows how plugged in i am... I'll hold off on making a thread until I get leader picks. Pfft. Sounds to me like someone who overvalues T-Hawk's time. And yeah, Plako, we trust you and the lurker council to be objective in balancing things.

I'm fine with the list Kyan proposed but I like the surprise of lurkers. So, let's have the lurkers feel free to use Kyan's list as a guideline of sorts but also have freedom to throw some wrenches in there where so desired (e.g. PHI/EXP would be fine with me!)
Plako, thanks again for setting up the map for us. Definitely don't feel rushed. It'd be great to make sure there's plenty of time for the lurkers to review and then have edits made as necessary (not that I'm presuming edits will be needed. I'm sure you'll do it perfectly on the first go!) I will also wait to make a thread until the game is closer to starting. I've already updated my other threads more this week than in the past few months combined so I think it's best to not be too hasty with posts!
