If my bleary eyes see correctly, we're aiming for 18 players, Evilhomer. By my current count, we're at 10 players, so I'll start seriously organizing this.
Acually it seems you forgot to include me in your list, so it is one more.

So, Jazzepi, the preferences I should use are in the first post? Okay.
Saarud, welcome.
Hadrian_II, fixed.

Trying to come up with a simplified player list.
(Damn R'lyeh, I have no reason to deny, other than selfishness. Fortunately, I may have learned SOMETHING about pretender design from Outriders, so I won't be stuck with six provinces while the rest of the world is conquered.

Default Simplified Player List

Here's a simplified player list. If you have any objections or suggestions, feel free to mention. This is open to change, but if you're fine with it, it'll prevent some complicated juggling later on. If everyone's happy with it, I'll merge it with my official player list post earlier in this thread.

Abysia
Agartha - Hadrian_II
Arcoscephale - Papatoss
Atlantis - Lazy Perfectionist
Caelum
Ctis - Baalz
Ermor
Jomon
Man
Marignon
Mictlan - EvilHomer
Midgard
Pangaea
Patala
R'lyeh
T'ien Ch'i
Ulm - Reverend Zombie
Utgard - duke_commando

major_disgrace: Random
Warhammer: Man, Marignon, Jomon
Jazzepi: R'lyeh, Ermor, Caelum
Aethyr: Tien Chi, Midgard, Marignon
Saruud: Tien Chi, R'lyeh, Man

LP--

If Saruud wants T'ein Ch'i, I'll switch to Midgard. That sould let you lock down the rest, yes?

Okay, entering the list into earliest post. That can be changed later upon request (or necessity), but I'll let it lie as is for now.

Default Debatable Settings

Meh. We'll, you were careful to state your preferences. All I can hope for is revenge, but I've been whacked by R'lyeh each time I've fought them... bah.

I've put up a proposed list of settings - and it IS open to debate. I'll keep things up to date in my earliest posts, and leave this posts' listing static for purposes of discussion.

If anything, I think my site chance is too high for such a large map, but I do want more sites than normal... Feedback invited.

Proposed Settings
Late Era - Glory of the Gods (Multiplayer) 227 land, 47 sea
Number of starting provinces 2
Strength of independents 5
Special site frequency 75
Money Multiple 100
Resource Multiple 100
Supply Multiple 100
Random Events are common
Score graphs are disabled
Hall of Fame Entries: 15
Standard research
Standard victory
Master Password is enabled
Renaming is allowed
Cheat prevention is active

I think I will give Jomon the nod here.

Default Recruiting

I'm setting starting provinces to two for two reasons. 1st, the gold derived is fairly inconsequential. 2nd, R'lyeh has all those 1 resource Illithids, I'd like to make sure resource heavy nations such Ulm and Atlantis have a little edge. I can be talked out of 2 starting provinces, but I like the idea. Site level toned down, still can't make up my mind between 35 and 45.

Warhammer, MAJ_Disgrace, noted. Since things have been pretty much straightened out, I think its time to recruit full-bore.

I'm open for mod suggestions. What I'm currently considering is...
Worthy Heroes (not epic)
Velusion's Big Game Mod (hard to find)
Blessing Hotfix (is it necessary with 3.08? Can't remember what it does)

Default Re: Simplified Player List

I agree with Jazzepi to not change the default of the special site frequencies. Otherwise I do agree with a 2 province start.

I have no opinion about mods since I have never used one of those proposed mods.
