Rated Challenges Thread

Well, I'm honored anytime a person who has beaten me asks me to be on his team. And I guess you figured I just finished a game (reading this thread and all) .

So, I accept your invitation and offer some suggestions to the settings:

Medium (a good-sized one) spiral map;
No intel/ruins;
Medium tech cost;
2,000 racial points;
Map placement so that teams start with distance between them and so that team members are on the same side of the map;
Team members must take same colony type and atmosphere; and
All tech/planet/ship gifting/trading allowed.

Additionally, I might suggest no ancient but I'm not really convinced of that.

So, any takers (and additional game suggestions)?

I think you're overdoing the false modesty, Mr Second-highest-rated-SEIV-player-in-the-world.

Anyhow, I'm mostly happy with the suggested settings. I'm not clear why so many people dislike Intel, but don't mind losing it if that's what's normal. I do like Ancient; but again, if everybody else wants to play without it that's fine.

So who wants to take on the second highest rated player in the world and his sidekick?
