I like the idea.
Weekly turns seems to me a long time.

If one of my other PBW games ends before this starts I'd been into this. Although I'd suggest 72 hour turns and a ban on treaties between non team members. (to stop 3 teams ganging up on one)

[Baron Grazic]

Turn times can be discused too.
Perhpas a ban on any treaties above T&R?

Fine with me.
What about exchange techs, gifts and population between teams?? Think should be Banned too...

Exchanging techs and gifts (supporting each other) are a major part of the fun beeing a team. As for colony tech and population, both players could be forced to take the same planet type and atmosphere.

BTW:
I would like to join if this don't start until mid August (and I can find a partner )
