Eh, what the hell. Sign me up. I'll have sporadic at best net access til Friday though.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Cool. I've already got a concept in mind, but I'll wait to hear what you all want for settings in addition to "tactical geography" before I start anything. If scooter doesn't mind, I'll send the finished product over to him for a once-over before I send the first save out.

I'm unavailable Thursday, but before or after then and I can take a look at it and email/chat you.
Cool! Welcome Gaspar, I hope you bring your vastly entertaining FFH VII crew with you. Here's my thoughts for settings, vote 'em out everyone.
Map settings & options: Quick speed Monarch difficulty Unrestricted leaders No tech trading No vassal states No tribal villages No random events Barbs on Now as for snake pick, I'm fine with going for before or after start position is reveal, just vote your preference. Ban list (also to vote on) Leaders: All Fin Sury [COLOR="Red"]Izzy Hatty Bismark [/COLOR] Civilizations: India Inca [COLOR="red"]Egypt Mali Byzantium Ottoman Empire[/COLOR]
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.
It'll be easier for me if you can pick your leaders before I make the map, so do that whenever you can. I guess everyone's waiting for Gaspar to get internet again and vote for settings.
Have a brief peaceful moment where I have both wifi and am blissfully shot of the wife
 so allow me to say that I would in general prefer a less robust ban list, perhaps something more like we had in 14 where we banned combinations of the power traits, though in this case, say only one of SPI, CRE or EXP plus no India or Inca, but I'm not so hung up on it to stop the game. I certainly don't think, say, Mali is such a powerhouse it needs banning. I think it's a little slanted towards the recent games as well - Maya for example has been more popular over the course of games than some of the others there. I also prefer barbs off, but am willing to play with them on. The other settings are fine with me, and once agreed we can start picking, o should have enough Internet from here on out to pick.

*shrug* I actually didn't think Mali or Izzy are such a huge powerhouses, it was more "there are a ton of games with these right now". I'd be fine with a slightly more limited ban of no Fin and only one of Spi, Cre, or Exp. Which, um, means Sury, Izzy, and Hatty out, Bismark in. That's fine with me.
Someone want to roll for snake pick order? There's no rush if you're cheerfully vacationing, Gaspar, don't risk wife aggro on our account.
