game speed: quick
map: fractal
barbs: on (normal)

Turns per day: we are shooting for at leaste 1 turn a day from all players.
 
ok, sorry about that i made that post very late at night.

it will be an 8 player game. with normal speed. the map will be Continents. as far as rules, when we get some players we can pick the rules. i don't want to be the only one that picks that. anyways if anyone is willing to join my game please reply with a leader and your email address.

Thanks.
 
ok i'm bringging this one back, i now have both the expanshon pack and will be hosting a BTS PBEM game. i'm also changing my leader pick to the Aztecs Montezuma. if anyone would like to join please reply and give your email address in a PM.
Thanks

P.S. uh one last thing, i will be chaning the game speed to quick.
 
Speed, I mean number of turns per day is decisive here.
There are PBEM games which have 2 turns in a week, while some of them are much, much faster, about one turn per day. Bad think is when somebody can not play his turns for a while. thats stop whole system...
Also, very, very important matter is to make good players order. You must get all players timezones and make good plan. This can speed up game a lot...
 
I'm willing to start new MBEM game,but my problem is that I'll go on a trip in about a month, and it will be last for about 11-12 days... So, that will be big delay.
But, if we have 5-6 players it will be great. I mean players who will be able most of the time to play his turn immediately when they get it ....
 
i couldn't aggree more! i would like to see the game go about one round per day, if everyone can do that i think it will go fine. about you going away for 11 to 12 days, how do you feel about having someone sub for you? it would just be fore that time. or depending on what everyone else thinks, we can just go 12 days without playing. either way we can work something out. just need more players!
 
When I'm at home, I played my turns immediately. If I'm not, I play when I get home, which means almost the same day, at least. With this speed, it can be easily one turn per day, sometimes more.
All interested players must leave their time zone, in order to make good turn- schedule.
Maybe is good to start another topic, with every detail?
I can do that, if you agree, of course?
 
I would like to be the female leader of the celts... I can't think of her name right now.

ok i got Shogu down for Justinian I , Atillathewin down for Boudica (Celtic), and I with Montezuma (Aztec). i think we said quick game speed.

Shogu, If you want to make a new channel go right ahead. i think we need to think of a name for the game too.
 
If still open, count me in with Tokugawa for example.
Playing from France, should be able to play nearly everyday.
 
perfect thats 4 now! one or two more and we can get this started. Unkle, you want Tokugawa (japan)?

please PM me with your email address.

after checking your profile i notice that you claim to only have the "original" civ 4. this game will be a game for BTS of civ 4. if you want you can check out my other channel i made for the original PBEM game that i'm also starting. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/civilizationiv/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-42667377&pid=919352

we will get that game started with fewer players since not as many people have only civ 4 now a days.
 
I would like to play, but some preferences must be defined now.
Tech trading off or on?
Also, barbs, with or without?
vassa lstates or not?
Size of map, standard, small or something else?
