I think this scenario might be fun in a multiplayer setting, though it had rather typical SP play since the AI couldn't cope with the concepts...
Anyone interested?

Count me in - never played the scenario before but what the heck.
I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.
Count me in
What are the settings?

Lets pick leaders so we can start.
I'll take Zara Yaqoh of the Ethiopians so I can host the game.
Also consider difficulty level -I'd recommend we play on at least Monarch so the AI puts up some resistance.

I'll take Tamerlane.

Does this mean setting the AI's to Emperor in an MP game would actually hurt them?
