I agree with this exactly.
keet the other details in spoiler, I want to be challenged as I discover them,
but keep map size public, as well as any significant variations.....
I think if you look at how the GOTM series is done, you can really pick it up from there:
how did this actually start? well I suddenly noticed people who play normal speed were taking epic and marathon..... so I was like wtf? those guys aren´t noobs, it must be something about the map - so I was forced to open the spoiler.
If it just said large map, that would have been sufficient for me
example:
http://gotm.civfanatics.net/civ4games/index.php?month=70040
also I am starting to get in favour of no goody huts/ events save.
it also helps the spirit, which is to advice each other..... that is hard of someone s scaut got ambushed, someone got MC from hut, and yet other was attacked by archers barb event.....
today I got a really crazy event, around turn 100 in one of my best cities:
all improvements around that city were just destroyed.. it was an event, not espionage.
just there: 40+ worker turns gone out of thin air, not even any options
i would say, that for me this was the last drop. it´s just annoying.
it gave me some laughs though, IE the corp event wants the government to take some resources from another nation by war, to increase profits

You can just start the game /w custom scenario and turn off events there.

not really, if you play custom scenario, you also have to define all the other rules, and TBH, I am not sure what the correct rules are at all

There's nothing else to define. The only difference is huts/events.

well you are not correct.
for example there is an option to allow culture flipping.
no I am sure this can happen.
so all the people who play with events of and also don't enable this option, have an easier game.
and there is more of these options. the custom settings are not default, and thats a problem.
so it¨s better if the game host prepares the saves correctly, so everyone has a same starting conditions and rules. and someone might even change the rules intentionally.

The option is to NOT allow culture flipping and is off by default.
I am saying, that if you leave nothing checked, it's the exact same thing as just double clicking on the file. The only reason to even start a custom scenario is to disable events.
The "rules" is just having nothing checked. You can't alter the save to not have random events (someone would have already done it if it were possible-- well at least I hope); these are just all game options.

You can force no events into the XML in the save file - but then people who want to play with events would need a save with the XML set to allow them.
So you'd end up with 4 saves per difficulty (events+huts, only events, huts only, neither). Which would be a lot of extra work for something the individual players can easily do without changing the XML at all.
To disable events, just pick 'custom scenario', cover the top half of the screen with your hand so you can't see the AIs, pick the difficulty you want, and check the "no events" box. That's all. Everything else, leave unchanged.

It seems pretty clear from various comments that map size belongs un-spoilered. There might still be an issue about what I say in the outer spoiler (basically, map setup parameters like script, sea level, and other script-specific options) versus the inner (how I edited what the script gave us).
For huts and events I've set up a polling thread.

I am playing through old NC games but as the other civs in those games. There are half a dozen or so games that cannot be opened, all fronm the same period and all set up originally by TMIT. Just go on to later games, where there is no problem (or to the first ten games, which are also accessible).

oh well, many people seem to have the idea to replay the NC games...
but I seem to be the only one playing them backward..... so if anyone cares to join, you are welcome..... I plan to play the current round, already played some and left my writeups there

Given that the oldest few WB save file attachments are Missing in Action, I've posted a .zip of all the Noble-level saves at MediaFire. Monarch/Immortal/Diety are going to have to wait for a while.
Most of the work was done by one of our Esteemed Colleagues, who collected all the old attachments for us several months ago.
and I wish my memory were better or my search-fu more energetic so I could thank you by name.

how about fantasy map script (with missing resources), seems like loads of fun to try publicly and change, that might attract even more players

Fantasy makes sense someday but for a while we'll use more "normal" sorts of scripts.
Do people really want to play Sid (no traits or UU or UB)?

In preparation for tomorrow's Churchill game I've updated the boilerplate in the OP. Suggestions welcome:

NC 71 Churchill is up. First time with both huts+events (the old standard) and no huts/no events (very strongly preferred by the poll).

It was me. And you are very welcome.

And again: You are my heroes. All of you NC hosts.
