We just finished a two-vs-two game:

It was fun! I think we need a smaller map next time, but the basic concept of two-vs-two is great because:
1. It's a hot war the whole way, not a race. We didn't experience 50 or 100 turns of hoarding, racing for research, and conquering independents, but instead 15 turns of conquering independents followed by 35 turns of brutal combat. Whee!
2. It gave me an opportunity to chat with my partner a lot while planning our strategies, trading gold, gems, items, and intelligence. This made it more of a social occasion instead of a lonely hobby.
So, my partner and I are interested in another two-vs-two game. Please privately find a partner and agree to team up before you post to this thread.
I won't necessarily agree to play against whoever posts first or anything -- maybe I'll change my mind or something.
Does anybody know of a wrap-around map with only about 100 provinces? Or some other kind of map where there is a high chance that all enemies can reach each other?
