Small AW PBEM (possibly mirrored)

In the last game of this kind, PBEM57, I won with ORG/PHI and Commodore was second with CHA/IND. I think pacal is a pretty mediocre, unless the map is extremely different from what is was in 57.

I agree completely on the scout start.

So to summarise the settings

Base BtS
Always War
Mirrorland (map rolled by Commodore)
Snake pick. Bans: all Fin leaders, Sury, India, Inca, Byzantium
War Elephants banned
Coastal blockades banned
Scout start for everyone
Passive espionage only
Huts & events off

Did I miss anything?

Still to decide
Difficulty level (Prince / Monarch / Emperor)
Speed (Quick / Normal)
Barbs (Off / On / Raging)
Extra starting units if any (see that players started with 2 extra CG3 Archers in 57)

Also looking at 57 tech thread, think we need to ban SoZ and possibly culture bombs (not sure that one's necessary though, producing great artists in AW is a real cost)

Prince
Either speed
No barbs
Definitely no extra starting units.
Ban SoZ and culture bombs. You can settle GAs

Did you guys really want a mirrorland? I can do that too but I figured you guys wanted a 57-esque rotational mirror.
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.

Page 1 talks about Mirrorland. I'm happy to leave map decisions with you smile

I think quick speed is much better than normal speed under these settings.

Why? I actually think I prefer normal, but can be convinced otherwise smile

I think it helps with the turn pace, and makes the game more exciting if it's on quick. It's ultimately a matter of preference, so we could put it to a vote.

What helps with the turn pace is people playing turns, don't think game speed matters much

My votes
Difficulty level (Prince / Monarch / Emperor)
Speed (Quick / Normal)
Barbs (Off / On / Raging)
No extra starting units

Is this game full? If it is not, what is the skill level like? I'm not very good and do not wish to distort the game.
