I don't know what's the procedure after this.
How do we send saves to each other? E-mail isn't used on RB?

I don't think there's anything left that needs to be decided for him to be able to do that, but if I'm missing something, we'll need to figure out any last details.
One of us will send a PM to T-Hawk asking for our own subforum, and he'll create it and move this thread to it. I suppose I'll do that now, we're not trying to recruit anymore. Then we can each create our own spoiler thread to report turns, discuss strategy, etc. You're expected to stay out of all but your own, the tech thread, and whatever other public threads we end up with, until the game is over. Otherwise, people wouldn't report.

Oh, definitely by e-mail. Mine is RBMardoc [at] gmail. Once we have a tech thread, we'll gather e-mails, game rules, and anything else relevant into the first post.

Not using the magical PBEM tracker?
I'll try setting thing up tonight when I get home (which is in a few hours). Random number generator for Player 1 ho!

Just an FYI, you can't use Worldbuilder on a PBEM map. If you're going to edit anything, you need to start the game as a single player game with all the settings, edit it in worldbuilder, save it as a worldbuilder file, then start the PBEM as a 'scenario', which you choose the WB file you just made for.

What are people's feeling on starting unit compositions? They appear to be... unique.

How unique? Should be a colony pod, a supply trawler (or whatever it's called) and another unit of some kind.

In the Expansion era it's a Rover, Infantry, two Colony Pods, two Supply Pods and a Former.
For the Pirates it's two Sea Colony Pods, a Gun Foil and 4 Aquaformers. I think Mardoc should be allowed to replace up to two Aquaformers with Gun Foils.

How well does the game react to using Expansion Leaders in an Arrival Start? If we do Arrival I can simplify the starting units to Rover, Scout, Colony, Supply Pod. And Pirates Aquaformer and dbl Gun Foils. I managed to setup a game setting Expansion leaders/civs, then switching back to Arrival.
Or are people set on Expansion Era start (loads of starting techs!).
EDIT: would also mean I leave the AIs with their extra starting units. Yay AI bonuses...
