So, it looked so fun I had to try it myself. Basically, the plan is to have a game on the PBEM 34 map without any #city limits this time, but with Great Artist bombs banned. Settings are as follows (for confirmation):
PBEM 34 map (will post WBfile), which is a 20x20 toroid.
Emperor level
Raging Barbarians
Always War (so CTON)
Quick Speed
Standard bans of: - War Elephants
- SoZ
- Spies
- Great Artist bombs (settling still okay)
Standard snake pick (someone roll us order?) with no trait bans
Players:
Scooter is Gandhi of India
Pindicator is Zara of Maya
Commodore is Kublai of Greece
AT is Louis of Sumer
Everyone starts with two CG3 archers. Babylonians get bowmen, Mali gets skirmishers, and Protective gets additional Drill 1 promotion.

Can you post a link to the WB file?
I said this in the other thread but I do mean it - I don't think this game will see the key national wonders built unless somebody dies. There just isn't quite enough room on the map for enough viable cities for 4 players to build national wonders. So for that reason, I like the mod. I'll happily play without it if outvoted.
Please no snake pick until we decide on that - it does affect choices somewhat.

Globe
Oxford
Wall Street
Ironworks
Red Cross
Forbidden Palace
Those all require you to build 4 of each building on Tiny size. We used a mod to reduce that to 3. I did think it was 5 and not 4, so this isn't quite as bad as I thought.

Red Cross is a key national wonder?

Hey, I've lost every time I've failed to build it
As for the mod... 4 cities should be quite doable, so I am going to vote against a mod. But I really don't mind if it gets voted in.

I guess I'm in. Might be an interesting game... same map, radically different rules and opponents.
If it's raging barbs, i'd like to ban the wall.

Ok no mod it is. I need to think a bit more about my pick, so I'll pick in a bit.
