Anything's possible, though I think someone else would have to manage and organize it and I'd just be one of the participants.
Any volunteers?

Either that or playing it against the BTS expansion pack's improved AI.
Another vote for the sticky of this thread.On a related note, here is the list of anticipated future ALC games, in order. However, this list doesn't include all those new leaders in the Beyond the Sword expansion pack--so when that comes out, it will mess this up. And of course I reserve the right to change the order on a whim. 'Cause I'm just crazy like that.
How many of you think I'll get through every single leader before Civilization V comes out? Yeah, that's what I thought...

well i wont matter if Sisiutil doesnt finish his current game winkwinknudgenudge
Hackapell, thanks for providing that list of the BtS leaders. Unlike Warlords, I plan on purchasing the new expansion pack ASAP. At the current snail's pace, that likely means the very next ALC will be played with the BtS expansion pack. That would still be played with Russia/Peter and on Monarch level; I kind of like the idea of keeping other things constant while the game elements shift significantly.
As with the previous vanilla and Warlords ALCs, I'll leave all the default settings in place, and that includes events--unless there's a big push and agreement from the game followers to turn them off. I could see random events making a shadow game less comparable to the posted one. Nevertheless, I still see the ALCs as focusing primarily on overall tactics and strategy rather than dealing with every detail that comes up in the game. I think there's some randomness already in the game anyway; BTS will just add another random element and associated challenges.I advise you to play BTS on your own first before attempting an ALC with it on Monarch. Better AI will be fully implemented and there are new things like events (I believe you wouldn't disable them, would you?) and espionage that will change the strategies and game mechanics quite a bit. And there is a host of new techs and new units to get used to. That old beeline for grenadiers or cavalry just wouldn't be the same anymore.
To get the mod go poke around on the GOTM forum.
What do you have your auto turn interval set to? In particular, is there a reason not to set it to 1, ensuring that you don't miss the victory save?
Good idea. Done!Small Sidenote:
Sisutil, in this thread's first post you might want to add the Great Merchant Economy as a special feature to your ALC 14, since it was a quite remarkable and unique way to play the game
I've updated the 2nd post's list of upcoming games, with a tip o' the ALC lid to Hackapell for his suggestions.
