put me as a replacement/person-to-fill-in-if-there-arent-enough-people type person. my vote is CHINA, indust. and mil. is a good AW combo.

This isn't AW, just we have to conquer the world. But AW civ traits are good for this "variant."
I'll have a "maybe" roster for those not sure and a "sidelines" roster for subs to fill in.
I vote Japan, good for early war as we have cheap barraks' and temples, and good Middle Age warrer because of the samurai. Militaristic is good for lots of leaders, lots of armies.
One other thing, no GL, we can capture it if necessary. But we'll be conquering a lot, and will be able to research ourselves very fast. City spacing should be 2 tiles INBETWEEN cities. This makes lots of cities with enough tiles to get to size 7, for tons of free unit support.
First to go takes 20 turns, then 10, then 8 in middle ages, 5 industrial and 4 modern. I guarantee we'll be fighting till then, as we'll be facing 15 opponents. Since this is a huge map, turns will start to take forever, so the more turns you have to take, the more overwhelming it is. In the middle ages already, you'll probably have a 3 minute wait inbetween turns. Modern, maybe 20 minutes. That's just an estimate as I've never been in modern times on huge, cause it's very boring to get there!

lurker's comment: huge map eh? Are you sure you want to play this one game all summer.
Good start, lets do MADVIKING seed once we decide on civ. Is that map on huge, with every opponent, temperate, normal, 5 billion, continents, 60% water? I don't care about barbs.
So far:
Japan 1
China 1

I've got all day, every day, as well as most kids in school. Hopefully nobody with a summer job will sign up, cause that will slow us down
. Even with a summer job, if you can beat regent consistently, welcome aboard.I don't care if this game goes to the end of next year. Plus, since you're only playing 1/7 of the time (maybe less) there'll be time for other civ related things, and maybe even real life (just kidding).
One more thing I forgot to say, if we are too torn between what civ to choose, we'll do random and take what we get. I've done this before and it makes civ choosing a lot easier. Also when you look at your civ, you say ie "It's agricultural and militaristic" instead of "It's not commercial, scientific, seafaring, industrious, religious, or expansionists."

Since we're going for conquest, we're not going to play 540 turns
. I'm just trying to be optimistic. Even if it ends in the middle of someones turn, that's okay. What you're suggesting is the usual turn count in SG's, but since this is huge and turns take longer, I'm changing it a little.My deepest sympathies
. I imagined it snowed a lot in Virginia so you're making up? This year for me I only got 1 day of school cancelled due to snow. I thought I was unlucky but now I'm really fortunate.

No, it snowed, uhhh, let me see, only about six days, three of those came on MLK day, Inuag. day and something else. Presidents day last year we got the WHOLE WEEK OFF!
Wait when does your school year start. because the more south you go, the earlier the school year starts.
I hope I didn't scare any really good players away, just cause you only have to beat regent consistently doesn't mean you're not welcome if you can beat Beyond Sid Huge Pangea AW OCC consistently. How come nobody's signing up? Feeling relaxed and don't feel like playing huge? Think the challenge to tough and boring? If that's the case I'll tone it down to large to stantard world size. If nobody signs up in 3 days, I'll change it to large.

Own im still here.
EDIT: OK since no one is joining i'm in.

I have changed my vote to China. Actually, I think being industrious is more powerful than religious in early game. Plus, we need to conquer fast, so rider is ideal unit. Samurai aren't designed for quick hits.
A rider army would be unstoppable.
The vote stands at:
China 2

religious is pretty much pointless now. it doen't really help you. I build my temples during the industrial age and then they're 1 turn!
Well, I liked religious cause usually you build temples before going to war to avoid flips in captured cities, but now I realize on emperor flip risk isn't too high, and industrious will have many more benefits. Including that extra shield, makes difference between swordsman in 2 turns or 3 turns.
lurker's comment: I would suggest adding a post discussing this game in the Succession Game Registry. I am subscribed to that page as I have a feeling many our and might notice your game quicker. Just a thought.

Methos- he did post there.
