It looks like there isn't really any strong prefences, so the only thing that hasn't really been mentioned much is barbarians, so I'll leave that on the table for now, and I'll lock in the rest of the rules with the general consensus. I would suggest letting Plako choose the difficulty level, as he'll know the map size and wrap settings, so he'll know the affect on maintenance.
As for leaders - I think the best route is to go from a limited pool of choices like PBEM10, as most people don't like having their leader/civ chosen for them. Are there any experienced players who would be willing to give us a pool to choose from? Basically we would just like the top tier of civs/leaders to be removed, and how "top tier" is defined is up to that person. We could develop the list on our own, but I'm afraid that our own biases/hopes for who we want to play in this game could negatively impact that. So, any takers? Cyneheard/Krill, are you guys still reading? Actually Plako might be a good person to do this since he is creating the map.
The play order then will go like this:
1. Lewwyn
2. Sandover
3. Serdoa
4. scooter
5. Gaspar
We will randomize who actually starts first, but it will go in this order unless I'm mistaken on when Serdoa/Sandover play - you two are in roughly similar timezones so if you guys need to swap, then speak up, but I'm just guessing based on when you guys played in previous PBEMs.
