We'll be starting the next game before too long--would you be interested in playing, as you suggested a while back?

guys, if you want me, i´d like to join in your next game.
usually i beat deity, but i have never played an AW game before. started one but soon found it boring as a solo game, thinking that it is more of a SG style game.
preferably i would not choose a huge world, for spare time is my limiting factor

templar x, they are surely going to play on 250x250. Much larger than even a huge map. Turns get to be very very long. Load up one of the turns and check it out.

vmxa - thanks for pointing that out. probably i could have guessed that. in that case i have to withdraw my request, as it would take me *weeks* to play the later turns on such a map, and i couldn´t impose that on the team.

Ya, turns can get quite long during the latter half of the game.
Traditionally, I have run these big ones and let ThERat run the standard size ones, but he is currently on civ sabbatical from game running.

yes, turns can get very long.
I am still on turn 1 in this one and wiped out India with ease. Massive fleets will have to cross some oceans to take care of the remaining 3 Cics.

Are you going to be able to finish off the game? Four turns and three AI left (Greece, Aztecs and Dutch). If you can win it, go ahead.
Right about now nukes could be a lot of fun...

Rat, a typically fast and efficient finish. 
Congratulations to the whole team. 
112, so the time limit was never an issue.
This was one of our longer games. But unlike in GR18 (Genocide as Korea), where our slow progress was due to fundamental factors in our position, here the problem was mostly our terrible luck generating Leaders before 450 AD. Once the Leaders/armies started coming, everything went smoothly.
It's clear that the maximum AI aggression setting helped us, and we should retain it for future games. The Carthaginians were on our continent, yet we didn't have to fight them seriously until almost 1000 AD. Only constant war between the Carths and our nearer enemies can explain that.

I checked the replay and it was clear that wars were going on at many parts of the planet, which is a nice change. I also like this setting.
We had a good starting location far away from others. Of course our next pangaea game would be different.

Do you think that it is too big of a boost to have them fighting each other so early? I am not sure as I never really noticed it doing much in solo games.

How many AI civs were you using in those solo games? By simple probability, boosting the chances of war between AI civs should matter more when there are thirty than when there are seven.
What I was saying is that if, it did cause more wars, it may make it too easy. The easier games were the games were the AI is having long wars with each other.
Nice finish ThERat.
I will likely start the next game this weekend. Since we are only playing Monarch and I have yet to see a Monarch game that can't be won, I probably won't pick max aggression. I may choose slightly more aggressive than normal especially if I go for random start and civ.
If the civ is random and we might get expansionist, do ppl want huts on or off?
