I would like to start a PBEM game with 2-4 other players. I have never played PBEM before, although I have done some Hotseat games. I will be using Civ 4, because I don't have Warlords yet.

I'd like to play once you get it started Thrawn. I assume you use the latest Civ patch (V1.61)?

Yes, that's right.

Do you have any preference for civilizations/leaders?

I'd like Hatshepsut, Egypt.

I'd rather play a normal speed game too, on a standard sized map.
