I would also propose a fast pace, with a 24 hour deadline in between moves, with an allowance for timeouts, should players require breaks during the game.
We have 5 players now, so if everyone concurs, we can start a game soon.
I would like C'tis then (would have taken Atlantis otherwise), I haven't played them in Dom3 yet, but I liked them in Dom2 - Hmm, or maybe my Aztec-friends from Mictlan would be interesting, too. Haven't really played heavy blood nations before.
