OK let's try playing online and see how it goes I'm mostly concerned about the need to keep Civ open, when playing PBEM I close it and do something else while waiting for the next save

To clarify, it's each Trait once right? not each combo of traits once?

Also, each civ once?

This needs to be clarified. My intent was combination, but I pretty clearly wrote "However, once a player has chosen a particular trait or civ, he cannot choose it again." which says each trait once and no one complained. Problem is, there's 9 traits but 5 games, so this is actually not possible. 3 easy solutions here:

1) Change rules so you can only take each trait combination once rather than trait.
2) Keep rules, but the trait pool (not civs though) resets after group play.
3) Keep rules, but the final game lets you take whatever traits you want.

I'm happy with any of these solutions actually, so I'll let those with a stronger opinion decide.

I think "Trait once" will make most sense and will force the players to use different (and usually ignored/avoided traits)

And I guess this implies we play unrestricted leaders, right?

Edit: More convenient it will be to be "1) Change rules so you can only take each trait combination once rather than trait.", but this will leave again a way for the players to avoid certain "lower tier" traits.

Unrestricted: Definitely!

I'm in favoring of letting the traits reset for the last game only.

Me either. After all, thats the FINAL - we expect epic struggle and the 2 finalists at their best.

Or we can allow only 1 trait repeats - we actually need 1 more trait to make it 10 and we have 9 unique traits.

Hmm? I didn't read carefully, I assumed it was no repeat of leaders (trait combos)!

No trait repeats sounds interesting though And yes, reset traits for the final (but no reset of used civs)

[novice]

There are 11 traits. Agg cha spi phi pro ind fin exp imp cre org.

Hahah, that was good!

Scooter/Mist, can you post the map script when you have it? This is a serious event, I may want to practice
