I was thinking of four players and each one having two civs.
Each player would choose their first choice, then once that was settled each would choose their second choice. Standard Civ rules and no mods, unless all four players agree to change something.
Player One would play his two civs then email to Player two who would play his two and so on. Hopefully it would move quickly with only four passes per turn.
I would be all for this.
I've gotten to the point where I don't like playing Civ3 against the computer. It's no longer that entertaining. On the other hand, human opponents Civ3 is great.
Anyway, my email is:

Of course remove all _ ;(at) is @; (dot) is .
I'll need to think about my Civ choices.
I'd like to join. Two civs sounds like a fun idea and with only four players it shouldn't be too slow.

As for my first civ . . . .the Ottomans please.
Will there be culturally linked starting positions? This will affect the choice of my second civI vote we don't use culturally linked starts.

So we have:
(1) GhengisFarb - 1) Germany
(2) lmtoops - 1) ? ? ?
(3) Anatolia - 1) Ottomans
(4) CerberusIV - 1) Carthage

I choose Persia.
Let's make civ placement completely random. If your teams end up together...so be it.

I don't particularly want to play as I have taken on about as many PBEM's as I can handle but if you want someone not in the game to check the map and start positions to give a reasonably balanced start then I would be willing to do so.
Never give an AI an even break.
What size map? If we play on a Large of Huge there should be good start positions regardless. We could also change each pair's culture groups to match and then have the map use culture linked starting positions.
With 8 civilisations I'd to play on a large map. I think it would be more interesting to play two civs far apart than to have them culturally linked.

I really can't resist a good PBEM idea. I'd like to take the 4th seat in this game please.
Large map sounds good. It might be more interesting to start with your civs close together so that complementary civs would be important. Say, an industrious civ to improve terrain for both and a militaristic civ to spearhead attacks.
That would mean the game developing quickly. If they are randomly located then exploration will be a bigger element.
First civ choice - Carthage.

Second civ choices?
I would like Egypt.
2nd choice - Japan
Never give an AI an even break.
So we have:
GhengisFarb - the Prusso-Egyptians
1) Germany
2) Egypt
lmtoops -
1) Persia
2) ?
Anatolia -
1) Ottomans
2) ?
CerberusIV - The Carthagenic Japanese
1) Carthage
2) Japan
on a large map.
Vikings, please

I wondered if someone would want to try Berserks in a PBEM game.
Now we know which civ to destroy before they get to Invention.

Come on, Cerb, the Vikings and the Japanese should team up to take over the world.

Do that and he's sorta out of luck on the UU front isn't he?Originally posted by Anatolia

What happened to lmtoops?
I think he may have been away from his computer for the weekend. Once he chooses his second civ is there anything else we need to decide or are we ready to go?
Never give an AI an even break.
No, just need to know what he wants and we should be ready to go.
Yes, I've been gone for the weekend.
I guess I'll go with China. Both are industrious, so I'll start off behind in techs. But the Rider/Immortal combination looks good...not that I plan be a warmongerer

What are everyone's emails? Is there any issue with using the listed order?

GF - I think this will mean I am sending you turns from 4 PBEM games. I don't have a problem with that if you don't.

Naw, that's how I know its a PBEM, "You have a new email message from CerberusIV."

How are everyone's start postions? Mine were pretty good and my two civs don't look to far apart (knock on wood, I may find out they are on two different land masses.....).
Sent to Ghengis.
Start positions look good and relatively close together.
