New Game, Large Map, 8 players

[Dis]

yeah I should be able to do it.

If possible- the best time for me to recieve the game Friday, Sat, Sun, and Monday would be before 10:00 AM PST. That would allow me to play the turn and get it off before I go to work. And I'd be able to play a turn when I get home about 11:00 PM PST. The other 3 days of the week I am off- and I generally have no life. . Just hiking, and some Neverwinter Nights multiplayer games.

I would be interested to join this game. My timezone is GMT+1. I can play 2 turns a day, that would be somewhere around 7..8am GMT (2..3am Apolyton time) in the morning, and somewhere between 5pm..1am GMT (noon..8pm Apolyton time) in the evening. I should be either the first or the last in the turn order, if all others are Americans. And I can make it for an accelerated session during weekend at any time.

About civ choice... what are the map settings?

Ah, and my email is sirralph_at_gmx_dot_com.

I guess this means that you will explicitly set the map type (and maybe the water percentage). I like the continents/70% setting.

Respawn

Do we want to allow respawn of AI players (in case there will be any)? I would vote against it.

Shamus, make sure you scroll down in the Game Rules window on the right when you set up the game, it's easy to miss the settings at the bottom.

So will we get this game running this weekend or not?

[delmar]

Excellent question...

I am in!

(Was looking for an occasion to use this smiley for weeks... )

[miccofl]

I sure was glad I bought those two movies last night. Hope nobody got bad bird yesterday...

6 total, 4 active, so it seems.

Edit: I have to note that the mean reason for me to join was to try a game with 8 human players. Not sure I really want to join a 4 human/4 AI game as I am in one already...

Well delmar, there's always your Turkey PBEM - sitting there unused

Actually I am playing it with a guy from CivFanatics.

Only one though, not with 4-6 as I had hoped. Looks like it's not easy to find reliable people.

miccofl: if you want to play so much why didn't you sign up for the Turkey PBEM? Just curious...
