Good point...

Settings, anybody?

I'm thinking Earth-style... isn't that about the only thing we need to worry about with the Earth map?

What else is there? Barbarians? With ruins gone I'd almost like to see them gone as well... takes away that random element almost totally that way, you know?

But what else is there?

If it is possible to exclude the babarians, then do it.

And let's have 8 players. Think the "trick" moving the Turks to Libya/Tunesia is fine. Should leave all enough room to expand.

The standard map that is used is earth like and I think there are no ruins in it.

OK, I'll put the 8th civ where you propose to but the player located in America will have an advantage and all player should know that and agree with that.

Put the 8th civ in America, that's only fair. Divide America into 3 parts, north civ, middle civ and south civ. Give the middle civ the most room since it's got 2 borders instead of one like the north and south. In order to do this just pull up the native americans a bit and pull down the brazillians.

That is if there is an 8th player of course

the least possible, prefer just 1 settler

What additional units or techs do you want?

none

Extra Settings

PBEM Rules 2nd Edition: haven't read them all the way through but it sounds fine
24-hour rule: don't mind, most times moderators allow a longer period anyway since they can't keep track of where the turn is all the time
Rated: sure, rate me in my other games as well
Time Zone: what do you mean? my own? Central European Time (CET not central eastern time )

*****************

Of all these settings there is really only 1 that's important for me and that's Bloodlust ON, I dislike the Alien endgame win, it's much too soon and much too easy.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I say some kind of an accelerated start - 3 settlers or so.

With 7-8 players involved, the game has to be a little interesting from the start to keep it going.

That would kick the native american further north to the tundra making it even worse than 3 civs in Asia.

I would recommend though that who ever goes to America, south or north wouldn't be the best and more experienced player in the game.

I would prefer the Time Zone been in GTM + or - format.
I need it to sort the player according to their time zone.
That will minimize the delays if some player can only play in day or night time and as long as many players are not replaced in the future.

When Keygen think he has enough information. And I believes, that we could live with it, even if he should miss something .

We start with 7 players. I don't want more. Hunter has already told, he want's to pull out of all games and we have not head anything from Nukeboy for a long time.

Azrael - you shall be welcome to take seat instead of Hunter. Let us know where you live (not in details, but to set the right timezone ).
