Sorry for the delay -- lost a couple of days to going out of town for my last uncle's funeral. Sounds like JC and Liz are the popular choices, so I'll toss a coin and try one of the two for this afternoon (or evening).

My condolences, dalamb.
My preference would be Liz, since I did NC 1 before I did the earlier JC NC game (assuming I ever did it...). However, I'm not playing NC games consistently enough these days (too busy with Kossin's Early Start, the IC series, and joining SG-12) so don't worry about my preference. I'm still messing with Joao and the Mao RPC, too!

NC LVIII Elizabeth is up. Since JC was also popular I'll schedule him soon, but perhaps with one or two others before then.

I might have missed this...but is the NC going to keep going once Civ V comes out? I ask because I dont plan on getting CivV anytime soon (money too tight) and I would love to be able to keep playing the new and even the old NC games....

My understanding is that it is.

NC will keep going for the forseeable future as far as I'm concerned. About all that would stop it is if nobody plays anymore.

The plan for tomorrow's game is Boudica on a Global Highlands map. Given the popularity of Julius I expect to use him soon, but perhaps with one other leader between now and then.
I'm taking a couple of classes this fall and may try NaNoWriMo in November, so I may wind up making a few maps in advance lest I get bogged down with other things.

Hmm, that sounds like a fun one. I really need to stop getting involved in so many games, so I can at least get close to finishing one of these!

Never played as Boudica before or on a global highlands map. I'm looking foward to it (famous last words right?!?
) I still have to finish liz though, my first week at college was very busy, and that's why i didn't finish it.

Don't worry about when you finish. I think you may get more comments if you play within the 2 weeks allocated, but some people still respond when people try these games months later (or even a couple of years in at least one case).

NC 59 Boudica is up. Sorry for the 1-day delay; I now have a 3-hour class on Fridays and didn't plan for that.

Ind, Org, Pro, and Spi are the current "unused" traits this round. JC is Org/Imp, so that leaves Ind, Pro, and Spi to use in the next game or two before him. Ind/Spi would be Ramesses, Ind/Pro is Qin (fairly recent), Pro/Spi is Saladin. So I propose Ramesses after Boudica, then Julius, then some Protective leader (not necessarily Saladin).

I am playing as Charlemagne who is protective and have enjoyed a great start. He is Imperialistic too.

This Friday will be Ramesses as planned above. Since Fridays are pretty busy for me this term, I hope to make the map on Thursday. If you have any suggestions for what kind of map you'd like, please post before Thursday evening (Eastern time). IND suggests wonderspamming. SPI suggests a diplomatic game ('cause switching civics to please opponents is easy and doesn't disrupt you for too long before you can switch back to what you really wanted in the first place). War Chariots suggest an early rush. I'd likely want all three to be possible.

Excellent, Ramesses is one of my favourites. I suggest a map with more than one land mass but a non-isolated start. Something like a Big and Small type game.

Don't go too easy on the players. A start with marble or stone is fine, but don't offer both.

I make a lot fewer edits these days than I used to -- see the list in the Boudica thread, for example. So pray to the RNG gods for marble or stone, 'cause I don't expect to edit them in (unless I get howls of outrage before this evening, when I expect to make the map).

NC 60 Ramesses is up.

Apologies for failing to post a new game on Friday; with schoolwork and suchlike I just plain forgot. I'll slip the schedule until this coming Friday (29th). Suggestions welcome; Julius Caesar will be soon by popular demand but I have been waffling about whether he'll be next or the one after next.

Shaka! Or how about Monty on Arboria?
