Great, requested. Thanks.

Maybe it's because I'm new here, but I'm not okay with letting the mapmaker make decisions about difficulty and (especially!) banned Leaders/Wonders. That seems completely off the rails, given that they're not going to be playing. I also think that game speed has far reaching consequences and shouldn't be decided based on the first 15 turns. I'm in EST and my schedule is fairly flexible.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant 2 against barbs, 1 for, 2 undecided.

Ok if we want firmer settings
Difficulty: Prince (3), undecided (2). I'll throw my vote for prince.
Wrap: Toroidal, cylindrical, flat? I think maintenance DECREASES from left to right.
Size: Normal, small, or tiny? I think maintenance INCREASES from left to right, but fewer cities need infra to build oxford, etc
Speed: normal (1), quick (2), undecided (2). I am ok with whatever that gets a majority.
Leaders: Just Willem and Pacal ok?
Civ: Just India and Inca ok?
Wonders: Here is a real dilemma because based on past experience, we should ban TGL in water heavy maps because this is such a game warper.

Wrap: Yes
Size: It's complex. #cities maint goes down the bigger the map setting, distance maint goes up the small the map's actual size.

Hey DTG, I can dedlurk you, although I can't promise to be super helpful.

I could dedlurk for ipecac. I should be able to play turns when necessary.

Thanks! Glad to have you on board

I changed some of my 'anything' votes to make the process quicker:
Barbs: No
Difficulty: Prince
Wrap: Toroidal
Size: Normal
Speed: Normal
Civ/Leaders: okay
Wonders: Just TGL

My time zone now is PDT, and I work on some weekends. The best times to play for me would be around 9pm-12am PDT (4-7am GMT)

My inputs on map settings FYI
Wrap: Toroidal
Size: Normal
Speed: Normal or Quick, but take note that some of us do work on weekend so a blitz might not be doable
Civ: Only india and inca banned
Leaders: Only Pacal and Willem banned
Wonders: None (Unless map is island heavy then TGL)

Do the other players have any inputs on the settings?

BTW I will likely work this Saturday for a few hours.
