I emailed everybody in this with everybody's email. It is going to be me as Celts and Scandis, then Plexus as Japan and Mongols, then Grandmasta as Arabs and Persians, then Sleepyhead Gannon as Carthage and Egypt- hopefully he will enjoy the power of that combo in the absence of expansionism.
I used everyone's civ name in the game, and for your second civ added a "Kahn" or "Persian" or "Pharoah" (or in my case "Viking").
This should be fun. Again, let's just take it as it comes though, I can't handle too much PBEM pressure in the next few days.
