Very Relaxed, perhaps unorthodox PBEM game starting here

[tinkthank]

I thought I would give a PBEM host a try. This would be my first time doing this.

I would like to start a game which will be explicitly slow and relaxed; since I have both a family to tend to and a job which requires that I travel and be away from the computer every now and then, this will be a game with 5 turns in the week at most.
I will *never* host a turn unless all members contribute; we will go at the pace of the slowest and avoid stale turns at all costs. (It would be nice, however, if anyone drops out to let us know and just go AI.) So this is something for patient people.

A smallish number of people (2-6) with similar time constraints is also welcome.

I would like to play the maps Reemergence of Urgaia, Karan, Zen's Europe, or Orania, depending on the number of people joining.

If possible, we could try something unorthodox, such as: Victory by Dominion, but we don't have to. Otherwise would be keen on all normal settings, Independents to 5 (and renaming).

I would also like to play with Wauthan's Sacred Salamander mod, but if anyone else wants otherwise, also fine.

Other suggestions? Should anyone be interested in playing, feel free to post here or PM me.

Thanks much in advance.

I'm interested. Don't really have the time constraint, but it will be my very first MP game, so the idea of a more patient and relaxed game sounds good.

Uhh, if we're going to use the sacred Salamander mod, I'm going to need to know where to get it. ^^;

I'm always up for a game.

I haven't checked out the mod, but I'll go ahead and do so.

Zen's Europe -might- be a bit large for a 2-6 person game, particularly with such a slow pace. It could be weeks or months before we ever encountered one another in a significant fashion. I'm all for Reemergence. I've played it a lot SP and it has a good feel for that size.

Count me in!

Still somewhat new to the game, so a relaxed pace and a friendly atmosphere sounds nice

Count me in as well. 5 turns a week sounds like more or less normal PBEM rate...

(I'd play Man, if nobody's opposed to it)

As a map, if we are on the high end of the spectrum, I'd also suggest Parganos, the new map on the Illwinter site. It looks very nice... (I haven't played a game on it yet, but I like the look of it)

I would like to play, but I've only played the single player game so far, so I don't really know how multiplayer works with this game.
