Well, we don't want the game to be too terribly unmanageable, and then I'll have to pull shenanigans with making the map. I'd prefer to keep it at 18.

TBH I am not actually sure if Big and Small maps will facilitate that many players effectively anyway.

Eagerly anticipating the 18 player (or more!) mess. Spectating for the moment, undecided ded-lurker reporting in. I don't think the game would be best served with more than 18, although the temptation to play is great.

The best reason to not go past 18 players is that it would be great if we could have redundancy in back up players.

Or if there's a ton of people still interested, someone could start a BTS game which could run concurrently with the Mod game.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Ditto.

I'd appreciate a ded-lurker, since there's a chance I won't have Civ access for some short periods coming December/January.

Jeez. Neither of us have even posted in this thread and people are trying to clear out spots for each of us. crazyeye

Guess I better shoot down the rumors. Despite doing the programming for the mod project, I'm not at all interested in playing it. Sullla feels the same way, we'd both rather play original Civ 4 than this mod. And we're both sufficiently occupied by the CFC team game.

And yeah, I've got no desire to sink another thousand hours into Civilization for one game. I can't even play Words with Friends without getting antsy and agitated over the next move so I avoid even that. Any kind of persistent online gaming is a bad fit for my lifestyle.

I'll jump aboard, especially if it means I increase my weekly dose of Calvin and Hobbes.
