Resources:standard is fine, we'll do that.
I'd be willing to consider no tech trading.
I was really hoping to keep the number of players down. It would be nice to occasionally get more than one turn a day in, and the more players the less likely that is to happy.
Right now we have 6:

Johnhs
IanDC
Mîtiu Ioan
Dandridge
and me
I would rather play two 4 player games as I outlined above, as I would like to try a game with at least half AI just to see how that would work out. To do so we would either need one more player or for someone in addition to me play in both.
Everyone OK with four player games? Anyone strongly prefer to play with AIs or without them? Anyone want to play in two games?
Or would everyone like to just do a six player without AIs?
And just to give us one more thing to discuss, how do you feel about accelerated starts?
