a) must use democracy gov't once we have the tech (let's challenge ourselves!)
b) light blue or yellow

[James Adams]

I vote for the essentials to be ... MGE, Huge Map,7 civs and top babs setting and top level of difficulty! As for preferences I do not have any so I will go with the flow!

[H Tower]

1.
A: MGE
B: large map, random, continents
C:raging hordes, diety

2.
A:I don't know
B:blue, Mingapulco,
C:I think leader would suffice, were not really going to pay to much attention to what the computer thinks the name is anyways


EDIT:
D:lets push for space this time

[atawa]

1.
A: MGE
B: large map, random
C:raging hordes, diety

We should give ourselves a bigger challenge then in the first game, we won that one too easy.

[civman2000]

1.a:MGE
b: large, random
c: raging, deity
2. a: like sodaq siad, let's challenge our selves. Must go republic when we get it, same for democracy, cannot start a war (but we can make demands to antagonize the other civs).
b: green, Martian Empire
c: The Emperor (title The name Emperor)

a) I would like us to push for space
b) any colour or name is fine for me but some people are colour blind and may only be able to see certain colours.
c) Leaders name, not important to me
d) I would like it played the same as we did last time, with the president only giving the game file to ministers who then pole the people and advise the president.

[Xenozod]

Same as Hydey for me.

[H Tower]

i like hydey's comment about only a limited distribution of the game file

[Darkness' Edge]

perhaps a normal poll would be useful..

1a) MGE
1b) same as hydey
1c) whatever

2a) same as sodaq
2b) same as sodaq
2c) whatever
2d) same as hydey

Why not yellow? I do like the civ name idea, tho.

I didn't start it as a poll for fear that "other" and a post would end up being the most common vote - which would defeat the purpose of having a poll. I'll tally and edit the first post to update a summary.

[mrboo123]

1a) I don't care, (my MGE works now after 2 weeks of HELL.)
1b) look to the map to the bottom.
1c) 7 civs, Raging, Deity.

2a) too early, wait until we meet a civ or 2 (but I like idea.)
2b) White, same name as last time.
2c) Same as last time.
2d) What Vlad Antlerkov said.
