Gold or 1.49, probably Gold, but whichever I can get the most people with. (Hey, maybe one of each!

)
As far as the No AI mod, I would say no on that, but you can use the "None" minister style when setting up your race and it will do the same thing. That way if you want your AI to nothing they will. But some people would prefer the AI play for them to having nothing going on while they are gone.
If anybody is unsure how to do that check out this thread,
NONE AI THREAD.
