Map and civ/leader combos up to the map maker.
I agree with all the above and would like to add no events too. Also, ban religious victory
Map- I would prefer more balanced to more random. I love custom made maps  however, if getting a mapmaker is difficult, then i would still play a lightly vetted random map.
Difficulty to be something low enough that gingereGle won't get stung.

Oh yeah, I meant those too.

I am a big fan of vetting and reasonable balance. Whether it is "natural" or "artificial" doesn't matter to me.

Do I hear you voting for the first PBEM on Settler?

I like custom maps, obviously, but something scripted and undergoing heavy vetting is okay too. The ban list is fine.
My only quibble about difficulty level would be if Org and Imp are around, the sliding scale of Prince to Emperor and Flat to Toroid is a handy tool for a mapmaker to balance things.

That's true. Well, if a few lurkers wouldn't mind putting their noggins together- im sure they could come up with something fair. Personally, i'm not that bothered about difficulty.

guess I agree with the settings so far; as for difficulty, would prefer Prince end of scale, Monarch at a push, at least there's no barbs to worry about.

Might be up for an active teammate role, but I'm a noob.
On the upside, I don't add much to the ban list: CRE/IND Ottoman. that is all.
(Please please can I team with a FIN/EXP??)

You know there's always a place on the Commoteam if you want, but a fifth player wouldn't be bad either. Heh, but no Pacal for you man.

As commodore said, you'd be welcome to play your own team.
Now we need a map-maker, any offers? You will be getting a lot of freedom... you'd be making the map, choosing the civs/leaders. Only requirement is to try and make it mostly balanced.

That's probably not me then. I'd love to have a stab at a BTS map, but I'm horrible at it and wouldn't be able to tell what's balanced and what's not. If you get someone I can bounce drafts off, I can give it a go, but then it'd probably be easier to have that guy make the map in the first place

two "davids" against the "goliath[s]" should be fun
