Please post screenies of important game situations, even if it will mean you lose the secrecy advantage you had... It would be very good if the non-PTWers could see what is happening, and could comment and question on it.
(not the obvious, SP stuff, of course, we all know that).

Examples: when you start an attack on a human, save a few screenies together with how much units you used, but don't post them yet until you either won, or lost the fight... the other one should keep some info on how he defended / counterattacked, that sort of thing. I'm having great difficulty in trying to predict how many units will be defending towns in certain situations, watching you guys play could help tremendously.

Is it possible to add human players to the game later. You'll have 5 humans and 3 AI. Could you switch out an AI Civ and give control of it to a human if you wanted?
Of course, the AI Civs probably won't last very long anyway....

So what's the list? I would suggest to set the player order up by time zones, to let the game "float" around the globe. Should be the most effective. So if your time zones don't lie, the player list looks like this:

Conqueror (GMT+2)
Sir Ralph (GMT+1)
Randolph (GMT-5)
notyoueither (GMT-7)
Meshelic (GMT-8)

or if nye sets it up:

notyoueither (GMT-7)
Meshelic (GMT-8)
Conqueror (GMT+2)
Sir Ralph (GMT+1)
Randolph (GMT-5)

[notyoueither]

I will use that order.

Civs: Egypt, Carthage, Ottoman, Celts, Iroquois?

AI's random.

Who wants which?

[Harovan]

I have no preference for this game. Let the others decide, I take what remains.

Ah yes, and my email is sirralph_at_gmx_dot_com.

Don't expect to see a real home-page
Put at least , it gives us something to work with.

I promise it will get better (with FP's help, witch he has kindley offered )
