Default Noobs TCP/IP game

Okay, The game will be TCP/IP, but only to avoid the hassle of PBEM. You can submit turns as fast as everyone else but it is not a blitz game. Turns should be submitted at least every three days, but I will host the game nearly 24/7 so that you can submit whenever you want-

-open to Mod suggestions as I am a noob-
-I would prefer RPers to just players.
-Players are welcome too and I would like to start soon so it will basically be as soon as we get 7 or 8 players
-the map will be Zen's Europe (europe form medieval total war) which I can provide
-Standard settings depending on Mod, diplomacy allowed
-anything that you know in-game you can share in this forum, such as state of war or an alliance you wish to be public


blah blah blah, Yeah, so whatever. I need suggestions more than anything so I'm looking for fairly active and friendly players etc.

P.S.- noob to MP for this game not this game or games similar to it (SEIV) and I understand modding and such tho I can't very well- requires to great a commitment of concentration- So, I am capable of hosting the game and accepting your pretender files and such- but this will be my first MP game

I'd like to play, but only if it's a little faster than that. The last two games I've joined started out as 24h quickhost, and rapidly degenerated to like a turn a week.

Stuff always comes up, and I still don't see why anyone would be unable to play 1 turn a day (or at worst leave a message asking for a delay).

I like all 4 of Zen's mods, so whether I'm in or not, I recommend using them. And probably bar Atlantis and R'lyeh if you're playing Europe.

I had thought of barring the water races So I'll agree to that and if enough ppl sign up and feel they can submit faster i will agree to a mandatory faster pace.

Hmm, I'd be interested in another MP Dom2 game, seeing as the first one I joined never really got around to finishing and the second I lost in... I guess I'll be Mictlan, just to be interesting (and probably seal my doom )

I'm interested in playing as Pangaea. I've never even finished a game against the AI so I'd say I qualify as a newbie...

I'm interested. I agree with Hubris, though. A faster pace, especially early in the game when turns only take a few minutes, really helps. People stay more interested, don't forget to keep checking, etc.
If you do want to run a slower game, I'd recommend getting email addresses so people can be notified of new turns (and nagged if necessary)

All that said, I think I'll take Jotunheim. Big evil giants to crush all the little peoples of the world.

I'll play Abyssa.

And I'm all for Zen's mods. And I would need the map.
