I would like to suggest the following for a start:

Large world
Random land mass
Random land form
Random climate
Random temperature
Random age (What can I say. I like randomness.)
Deity (Open for discussion)
7 civilizations
Raging hordes (Open for discussion)
No restart (Open for discussion)
Male gender (With all deference to the female posters)
Play as Aztecs (Open for discussion)
Number of players (5 to 7, depends on how many wish to sign up)
Moves per turn (10 in the beginning, 5 later on, open for discussion)

Any takers?

So far, I make it out to be

LOL!

I'm kinda getting into that, too. Let's hope we both remember.

Julius, as for the other gigamap game, I haven't heard about it or the other MGE succession game.

The Scouse Gits in Concert 4000 BC - 3050 BC
We started life with two specials in sight and were fortunate enough to find ourselves one square from the four special site of Perfection City our wonderful Capital. Next we founded Only Three; a good non-ICS distance away! Huts yielded 50g, an Archer and a Horseman; our wise men pondered long on the problems of alphabet and Ceremonial Burial and with the non-ICS secret of Republic in their sights embarked upon the study of Writing.

3 new cities
Port au Prince
West Point
Sherwood

advances
Writing

huts
Horseback Riding
Map Making
archer(supported)
50 gold

Researching Laws.Commencing Lighthouse in Perfection in prep for Collosus.Very good site for SSC.Several good sites now revealed.#1 in all important demographics.

Once again a succession game will be "late" to the next government form.

Kcbob, is there an update on this one ?
Do I make the team ?
Or like all those swiss players in the NHL (Riesen, Von Arx) am I sent back to the minors ?

LOL!

There are Swiss players in the NHL??? How do they play hockey in skis???

And, of course, how could we not have the father of all gigamaps in this game?

How about:

Scouse Gits
Smash
Maud'Dib
kcbob
Julius

Still room for a couple more if anyone's interested. And thank you, Scouse, for the copy of the game in progress. No real need for that, though, as I can barely zip and unzip let alone keep tabs on a website of all the moves.

Well, it’s what I call a “cliché”, if I’ve ever known one. Yes and I eat great chocolate every morning. I just hope that my swiss citizenship will allow you to forgive me if I build cities on mountains although we’re trying to be perfectionnist.
I am glad to learn that I have joined the team. On gigamaps one should always look for great city sites with lot of ressources. Most continents are big enough to fit our perfectionnist needs.

As long as you don't mix it up with cheese !
By the way, it's in another topic, but Kcbob, I was wondering if you were mastering the french language ? I've noticed a few french citations in your comments.
Ca serait merveilleux.

Chocolate covered cheese? Hmmm. Or would that be a cream filled gouda? Naaah.

As for the French, I took three years in high school and what you've seen in my posts pretty well exhausts what I've retained from those years. How well do you speak it and what are the other languages you've learned? I'm guessing French, English, maybe German, and of course, Swiss.

I'm sorry. I thought my tongue was clearly visible inside my cheek.

No flames and no ashes intended ! Outside Europe, they are few those who know well about such little countries.
It is true that the Swiss don’t speak swiss. They indeed speak German (75%), French (20%), Italian (4%) and to make it more complicated also Romanche (a mix of Latin, Gernam and Italian) for a very little minority. Those 4 languages are guaranteed by the constitution. I am a native of the french speaking part, so my mother language is french, and I have learned some German and then some English in school. Oh yeah and I studied some Latin, too. But don’t ask me to speak it
Kcbob, I hope you’ve learrned something. And we don’t all ski all the time. In fact, we even have many McDonalds, not that I go to them, preferring la restauration à la française.

Romanche! Swiss! That's what I meant.

That was interesting Julius. But now, the real question. Do you have any barbeque joints in Switzerland?

If not KC Bob needs to send you some Bar-B-Que sauce from "Gates" or "KC Masterpiece" or "Smokestack" or....

BTW, Smash is the "Giga" map something that we should post on the Mac page? (I haven't read the threads about this yet, so I'm a bit in the dark)

Thank you, MacUser, for leaving the best for me to tout... Bryant's!

I would submit to you an article from the New Yorker magazine from a few years back which began...

"Not all the best restaurants in the world are in Kansas City. Only the top four or five."

It went on to label Bryant's as the best. So there!

HELLO?

Oh the inhumanity! Amnesty International alerted and Mounties extradite suspect to Court of Trolls..

LOL. Tch, tch, tch. Oh, well, a suitable punishment.

BTW, Smash, I just emailed and PMd Maud'Dib to check on the status.

BTW2, CornMaster has surfaced in the other game. I'll try to get that all straightened out.

Sorry I didn’t answer sooner that important question. Yes, we have barbecues in Switzerland. But for most people (including me), it’s not seen as something as important as it would be, hmmm let’s say, in Kansas
But while you were having this conversation on restaurants, I wonder what has happened to the sucession game. It’s all stuck to one player since I don’t know when.

Hmmm... here I thought that you needed children for such help! True to my word, I brought home Bryant's BBQ...I'll move this to OT! Also, I'll start a thread about the Giga-Map in the Mac Forum.
