Great! Big thanks for you efforts!

Commodore - can you edit the ruleset into the first post of this thread?

Gotcha. I see we never agreed on the difficulty level...Monarch has been a standard, so unless Ceil has a higher or lower level he wants?

I couldn't find what the setting for map size, can we get that as well?

Sandbox sims (from joeytool) to come tonight.

Civ/leader picks due in your threads 48 hours. Anyone who wants a special color or flag can put that in thread too. duplicate requests or identical neighbor colors will be adjusted as needed by me.

Regarding settings, can someone dig the info from this thread? I remember 2h capitol plant was requested, y'all sure about that?

Map:
Map Style/Script: mapmaker's decision, other than what is listed below. one other insistance: no "one civ in the middle and surrounded by many others" situations
2h capital plant: yes
Wrap: Cylindrical
Balance: Please, as much as is reasonably possible
Players: 8

Game Settings:
Vassals: off
Tech Trading: off
Huts: Off
Events: Off (obviously off for BTS, and apparently, and unfortunately, the implementation is broken somehow in RtR, in a way Krill has never specifically described)
Difficulty: Monarch
Speed: Standard
Barbs: On
City Trades: Banned

We had this stuff at the start of the settings post, which nobody objected to. 2h plant is probably not too important and if it would mess things up for you(eg. some people get an upgrade, others don't) we can ignore it I think. The main motivation was simply to speed up the early game IIRC.

Pulling a joey here, so you dont have a 2h plant and you want one?

[The Black Sword]

The post reads the exact opposite to me. People were asking for settings so I dug that section out of the thread. I had forgotten the whole 2h start thing until Ceil brought it up. I was trying to acknowledge that while it was a setting we had agreed upon I was happy for Ceil to decide whether it was appropriate to the map.

Obviously I can neither confirm nor deny my double corn, marble plant start.

Also, FYI, the sims Ceil sent out are set up for base BTS and won't load for RtR. I think Ceil needs to change the map to RtR and run joey's tool again.

[Ceiliazul]

Didnt realize that would meas folks up, I'll run it again in rtr.

Looking at the settings I think Tech Trading isn't switched off and some of the victory conditions are missing (I expect that's a function of the tool so you don't win an automatic domination victory after 20 turns...)
