Well, we've got a forum but so far we don't have any concrete plans for the game. We should probably get on that.
First things first: Players.
Selrahc
Toshi
Dantski
Sciz
Ichabod
Everyone still interested? Dantski wanted a fifth player, and I think that would be good if we can find it. EDIT: With Ichabod, it looks like we have 5.
Second thing: The Twist!
I'm basically open to any crazy idea that any of you come up with, so lets do a quick brainstorm as to what we'd all be happy with.
Third thing: The Map.
We need one. Any volunteers are welcomed.

I can put my name forward for the map if you like - I have a couple of ideas actually.
Obviously it will depend on what settings you agree on.

Yeah I'd like at least another player in, two would be even better, but that's just me.
Any twist is nice imo, though i'm not really sure i like the no-settlers thing, but if everyone else wants it, I guess I could be okay with that too. Don't have any other suggestions of myself though.

I'd like to join, if everybody doesn't mind.
I've been playing FfH for quite some time, in the higher difficulties and I have a lot of Civ IV BTS experience (playing deity in the last couple of months). But I don't have any experience with multiplayer and I don't know what I need to do to be a good PBEM player (if anyone could link me to a thread that could help, I'd happily read it).
About the settings, I'm happy with anything chosen, even though no settlers seems a little too strange.

For the twist, we should figure out whether we want to really switch up the starting options (unrestricted leaders, map type, last days, end of winter) or if were doing that 2 settler start/barbarian world option (would vote acheron on as well if so).
I'd go along with anything but the more i think about it the more i like the idea of a barbarian infested world (ragings barbs on as well?) that we must use (no settler option) to expand our borders.
As I'm not the most experienced civ player I'm not sure what other twists we could add.

Signing up as your cheerleader Ichabod (if of course you decide to play). Best thing with multiplayer is good diplo (well obviously aside from making the strongest choices in the game), but for an enthralling read and some very good strategising go to Pocket Beetle's thread from FfH2 PBEM1.

Okay, so it looks like we have 5, which is a number I'm happy to go on with. We've also got a very kind volunteer to make us a map.
Lets discuss the twist then.
Here are some of the things that have been discussed.
1. Unrestricted leaders snakepick
2. Random civ/leaders
3. Raging Barbs
4. No settlers
5. Barb world
6. Last days
I know I for one would be happy with all of these settings on. I think an unrestricted leaders snakepick game, with no settlers and a barbarian infested world with last days enabled would be a more than exciting enough setup to satisfy me. Anybody got any objections to that?

I guess i'm okay with that stuff. Never played without settlers but it could work I guess.

Great. Everythings falling into place. It's awesome that we've got a volonteer to make our spice map. I'm sure anything you come up with will be awesome. Are we going to play 1 settler start or 2 settler start? (an idea that was thrown around by bob)
Last days, raging barbs, bArb world, no settlers and wildlands are all good by me. I wouldn't mind Acheron either.
While I'm not sure what snakepicking means, after googling I will gladly play guitar in order to choose a leader. Are we going to impose any rules like must have a different leader than the civs originals?

Snakepicking is like this (for example):
Selrahc
Toshi
Dantski
Sciz
Ichabod
Ichabod
Sciz
Dantski
Toshi
Selrahc
You pick leader in one pick, and civ in the other.
