Gods and Kings Multi session Game

[dum dum dum]

I am looking for 6 players. I am not a fan of GMR because I would like to sit down for a few hours on end and play with several other people. I enjoy long, thought provoking games. This game will take months.

I am looking to play one session a week. Every Thursday OR Friday from 2 p.m. Central standard time to 5 p.m. Central standard time. Please be committed because I am!

The only mod to the game would be Info addicts and 2 Units per tile.

Rules will be:

Huge Map
Continents
Prince (because I hate giving the computer bonuses)
25 Civs
15 City States
Sparse Resources
Epic Game
Raging Barbarians
Yes Goody Hunts
Players cannot be Germans

no takers? Is there something wrong with my post?

There is a multi-session game up already on these forums hosted by Onan. Those times might not be optimal for you(?) but I'm not sure there are any other takers here. :/

Just a few thoughts on it.

As Foffaren posted above those of us who play multi-session regularly already have a series of games going.

The other thing is that your proposed settings include several which are usually very unpopular/seen as unbalanced.

- very few people play on Epic speed as it places a massive emphasis on continuous war within the game (and extends the game for a very long time; result is a very long micro intensive game based around individually moving every unit of a massive army)

- AI set to prince is not something we generally do as the CS become far too abusable right from the beginning of the game. (free workers; tons of free gold) It also encourages ICS (and thus strengthens civs which can easily abuse ICS strategies such as Maya) due to the lack of constraints on happiness. Emperor is a much more popular difficulty to play on.

The 25 civ thing with 6 players is also odd - we generally do not play with AI players at all in our games as they are either complete pushovers to the humans or set to a much higher difficulty at which point they are only in the game because of the massive free bonuses they are receiving. (The Emperor setting stated above is only for the happiness control and CS balance; if you want AI players not to get rolled over by a human very quickly it has to be set above Emperor.)

Just my thoughts on it. As a sidenote; why no Germans?

I like the idea and would consider participating if the regular time is changed (because I have to work during the business day). So maybe Friday or Saturday evening instead of early afternoon?

JakeAlmighty is right on with his setting suggestions as well.
