This is the opening thread for the Huge Succession Game: AU mod version. Check here for the initial discussion, etc.
Basically it's a succession game, where you play several turns (20 to start with, probably) and then pass it to somebody else, who plays them. Like a demo game, but without the whole "voting" thing - you could call it a "monarch game" or even "dictator game". You're in total control for 20 turns (or whatever). But, when you get it back 80 turns later (or whatever), you will have to live with what everyone else does to the civ - meaning you should probably play nicely. 
This is the second Huge Successors game, with the AU mod being used (hopefully, assuming it mods happily to 32 civs and a huge huge map). In the first (linked above) we played a normal unmodded game with 32 civs and England on a Huge Archipelago 70% water. In this, we'll tell you the settings when we get there.
So far, who's in:
Modo

We want 4 or possibly 5 players (no more). I will step aside if more players than 2 join - I'm in the other Huge game, and am not very good at AU mod anyway. But I'm willing to try

Alright, not many people around, but I hope it's only because of Thanksgiving.
Well, the game will be here, started, waiting for everyone to come back.
Final setup (after a few tries with other settings):
Huge map,
Archipelago,
70% Water,
Random climate,
Random barbarians,
31 civs (including us - this seems to be the available maximum, not 32),
Monarch difficulty,
AU Mod with a Curragh able to transport 1 unit,
standard victory conditions,
Preserve Random Seed on,
Scientific Leaders on,
Cultural Conversions on.
Following snoopy's suggestion, we play the mighty Vikings. 
I started the game by playing the first 20 turns. I'll write the report in the next post and give you a screenie there. Here is the save after the first 20 turns, at the beginning of turn 21 (nothing moved). If you would like the 4000BC save, PM me with your e-mail.

In the year 4000BC a band of Viking people, a small tribe at most, decided to settle down. Each year they would spend the winter in a safe river valley and they considered building their new homes there. But they were nomads in their hearts and needed a free view into far countries. So, after a council was held, the city was built on a hill. The new settlement was called Trondheim. (Settler moved from Bonus Grassland to Hill, before creating the city.)
As population grew, Warriors were sent out to secure the rich surrounding lands for the Viking people. After all, the tribe would grow and new places would be settled.
The villagers began putting Roads and Mines around Trondheim, to exploit the readily available riches of the land.
Anticipating future needs, the knowledge of Pottery was pursued, to ensure thet food could be stored through the winter time. Thus, the Vikings learned how to build and use Granaries.
One of the Viking Warrior bands met other people in their journeys. They call themselves "Spanish". Our Warriors told them what land belonged to the Vikings - hopefully they will keep out of it.
In the year 2950BC a group of townspeople decided they would go out and settle down in a more fertile place, down the river and closer to the sea. The question was, where exactly? Well, the first Viking leader called Modo, died before he could direct them. Hopefully others can make a wise choice.
