    What the hell, throw my name into the game EPW.

    As far as the other settings go - I could care less....just let my know about them in advance.

      Advanced start? Don't think I ever saw a PBEM started with this option.
      I'm interested in such a game.

        Interesting choices to be made at the start - to buy techs or units/cities.

        I'd like to play.

          This is a gathering of fast players.

              Okay.
              We can already start throwing options out.

              I'm (as always) a big fan of permanent alliances, choose religion and no technology brokering.

                  I hate when Apolyton is flaky. Posted something earlier today which did not take.

                  I say go with 5 players. Six seems to really slow a game down for some bizarre reason.

                  No AI's is my suggestion.

                  I concur with Geo on no tech brokering?

                  Permanent alliances, Geo??? Not sure why. Please explain.

                  As to the map - stringy pangaea?? Or one landmass of some sort.

                    Agreed

                    600 points(default) for advanced start also

                    No to permanent alliances

                        All seems OK by me.

                          It allows two or more players to band together for mutual protection and joint victory without the fear of a backstab. Once signed, there's no going back with this option.

                          Normal sized map and one landmass of sorts? Lakes map with high sealevel perhaps? And perhaps mucho peaks if this maptype allows this kind of settings.

                            One player will be left out though, and whats wrong with backstabbing?

                            Lake map sounds good to me.

                              The top dog you mean? That's the idea.

                              Nothing I guess, if one is into that kind of stuff.
                              Perm Alliances doesn't actually stop backstabbing, as long as it isn't signed. Nobody can be forced to sign a permanent alliance.
                              It is, IMO, an extra option to keep things flaming until the end of the game. Besides, this sort of stuff can't be put in effect until the necessary tech is discovered, which is in the latter third of a normal game.

                              If it is to you, as game starter, a big nono, guess that's the way things are then.
