I would like in. What were you thinking for the difficulty level?"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." -- Abraham Lincoln

I might would prefer something closer to regent or monarch but I'll wait to see what others have to say.

How about accelerated production?We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness... T. Jefferson "The Declaration of Independence"

EPS, you need to start determining the game parameters. Are we talking random everything or typical settings?
I've never done accelerated production, but I'm open to trying it.
Another question: how is diplomacy handled? I haven't tried PBEM before. Are all trades, etc. to be negotiated in external emails?"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.

Basically in accelerated production the "boxes" are all smaller. (The values of the terrain don't change) Research is cheaper. It interacts in a funny way with the easier difficulty levels, where the boxes are already smaller, so if we choose it, we'd probably want to run regent or better.
I really don't have a strong feeling for AP or not AP, just throwing it out as an idea....We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...

ok here goes, if anyone disagrees with these then feel free to post what you would like
game mode : standard
turn timer : normal (this shouldn't affect a PBEM game shoudl it ?)
world size : standard
barbarian activity : sedentary (this is how I always play but I am open setting it differently)
land mass : may be we should have vote ?, randomn is fine, I wouldn't mind continents either tho
water coverage : randomn
climate temp and age : randomn
difficulty : regent
I would like to play a game with out accelerated production if everyone is ok with that, realise it will take longer but still, may be we vote on this as well
remember to post your location and timezone, I am hoping to get at least a turn a day (hopefully)
we have got 4 players, shall we lock the game now ?

I'm happy with all the settings. I think all the weather/terrain options should be random...makes it more interesting in the early/exploratory parts...you don't know if you're stuck on a tiny island, or a vast continent or something in between.
"All Victory Conditions" means all the "normal" ones, not the elimination/princess/victory points/regicide ones, right?
My timezone is US-Central Standard Time (UTC -6).
I'm guessing Eps is on GMT/UTC or UTC +1? Putting you about 6-7 hours ahead of me.

parameters
sounds fine with me... I might like some barbarian activity but everything looks good to me. I'm cool with no accelerated production if that is what you were originally intending, and as for locking the game, thats up to you; we could always let one or two more, but that may slow things down abit.
last but not least, how many AI were you thinking?"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion.
