If it is not too late I would like to sign up as well.
Highest victory is on Prince, though I am somewhat out of sorts.
Map wise I would for anything with multiple continents as that spices up the mid-game a lot. Pangaea is a little dull unless going for conquest.
Epic speed, obviously.
For leaders I would go for anyone with spiritual. Quick and painless changes fit well with the succession game type and should lead to a more dynamic/interesting game. It would also allow players to show off a little more.
I'll sign up if there is still room, just can't do a turn on (most) weekends.
Highest level I've won is monarch, normally playing marathon though.
I nominate the Ottomans; specifically Suleiman. +100% great people birth, +100% great general emergence, 50% settler cost. Decent UB and UU. But I normally play them as an aggressive espionage nation, which really compliments each of those (esp. with an early Great Wall wonder).
Otherwise the Brits for mostly the same reasons but with financial instead of either Philosophical or Imperialistic (with the respective queens).

I vote (if we have any say in it) for Greece under rule of Alexander (would be cool to try out a specialist economy in a succession game for once) or France with De Gaulle or Napoleon. And tectonics for map generation, even though it's a bit of gamble it's usually more interesting.
Also, is it possible to uninstall the BUG mod? Vanilla BTS works but Varietas Delectat (just a graphics mod) is screwed (the UI has vanished).
So we should almost definitely have two competing games at this point.
If that's the case, I'd probably want the non-Pangea map, if only because unlike some people, I enjoy naval stuff... especially if I'm the only one with oil and/or coal at the time :twisted:
Anyway, highest difficulty I've beaten is Noble, though I could probably do okay with Prince if I pushed it.

It would be the same map. Goal would be to do better than the other team.

Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
I vote a non-player chooses the map settings; random civ and random enemies; all victory conditions; default game settings and saves at the start of 4000 B.C. then emails to the respective first players. This way players have no idea what to truly expect. Keep things within reason, but still plenty of mystery to be had.
edit: bleh, Lock Modified Assets doesn't hide the map choices from the player.

Sorry, I didn't realize the thread was created. I'm still in. Would prefer Noble, and I'm not quite familiar enough with the leaders to know which random ones I like.
I've won at Noble (since I often used to play it), though was a bit out of practice for a while- I think I've clawed my way back up to the old skill level though.

Also, Holy shit I'm first. Well, I'm pretty sure I have city placement down, although sometimes the blue circle is a circle of lies.

Oh, okay. That's fine. I just don't play above Noble yet, because I still have trouble mid game with keeping up production, building up cities, and making settlers for new cities. Also, if possible, there's one with the Expansive or the Industrious (50% build on settlers and 50% build on workers) Both together is Augustus, I think, but I've been playing Mehmed (Expansive/Organized) lately, for all of the improvement stuff. Anything else would be interesting, but my style of play is mostly geared toward scientific victory.
I'm going to see if I can actually get the patch installed this time. Then I will install BUG.
The in program patching thing only works if you bought a physical copy in a store. Otherwise you have to go through your direct download service of choice.

Yeah, I have the physical copy. Xmas was awesome this year.
Assuming you already have all the players you need, could you upload the initial save whenever you get that far? I'd like to play it out on my own for comparison's sake.

Surely. Also, pay attention to the thread, I'll put you in the reserves for if people miss a turn.

Personal votes would be for Justinian/Isabella.
My choices: Noble, Big and Small map, Fractal, Normal game length. I'd love to play Epic length, but whenever we start these we never finish.

Give me more soldiers noble leader, so that we may sheath our swords into the beating hearts of our enemies!
Noble difficulty, is my preference, although we should up it if we are just smacking the crap out of the AIs.

We have 19 people, which is way too many. Even 10 is stretching it, so two games of 10 should be fine.

I vote against a pangea map. I like oceans. =/
Yeah, I kinda want either conteninets, or Big and Small/normal(or massive)contenients/Islands mixed in.
Large or Huge.

One more player would be good though!

I bet we'll need a primaries for the leader. Although I don't care who it is. Boudica would be better as an ally.
Shame the celts are such a god-awful civ.

I dunno, on a rocky map, with a dun and barracks/Boudica, you can have a very mobile force while everyone else gets fed up with the hills.
Anyway:

Yeah, if only they stacked, or at least, if only the Dun's upgrade bonus lingered on after walls became obsolete.
Unless the map is also relatively wooded, in which case you can take monty and his awesome UB.
