I'd be interested in joining. I recommend using the PBEM track website to avoid searching for missing save files.

Are you planning to play with AI?

 

[Kokturk]

ok, I have just created game on pbemtracker.com.

I think if we can get enough players there is no need for AI, otherwise we will have to fill up remaining slots.
But as any other setting this is up for a discussion

 

[Osbiath]

I would like to join in.

 

[Count1]

Count me in too

 

[Kokturk]

Now we have 4 players to start with. I suggest we start voting/discussion on settings and as others will join they can also contribute.

This is how I see it:
Map type: Pangaea/Inland Sea/other suggestions?
Map size: Large/standard
Speed: Normal
Tech trading: off
AI: Agressive Monarch/No AI
Raging Barbs
Advanced start: how many points?
Leaders: Random
Victory conditions: all enabled
Hut/events: off
Other options: default

Count me in. I think pangaea would be fun. I personally like events, but other than that, it looks good.

 

[Count1]

I quite like huts in the early stage too

Let's leave them on then! I guess I play too much single player where huts/events off is a default for me

Now we are 6!
Let us finalize game settings and while doing so please PM me your email addresses and time zones.
Also, those who have not registered on pbemtracker yet please do so and join game called Test of Time, password "testoftime".
I am new to organizing PBEMs, so please let me know if I missed anything.

Signed up for test of time game on pbemtracker. As for settings, they look fine to me.

 

[Kokturk]

In case anyone wants to start with non-random leader, let me know

KiwiTT (Montezuma of Aztecs) !!!

Never played him even as single player. This will be interesting.

 

[Kokturk]

I hope you wont follow the way AI Monty usually behaves

BTW, never played with advanced start before and I see that one can buy himself religion on first turn. I think this unbalances the game quite a bit.
