No I didn't receive your email.
And yes, No ancient races, thanks for the tip Geoschmo
.
I saw the game in PBW (yes, this is what I wanted to do), and it looked good.
So now we can join the game and hopefully start the game in a few days.....
p.s. geoschmo did you received my email about the way the homeplanets where situated, otherwise check your profile.
thanks
