My starting position :

No spoiler in any way, since we're using a real map, and Paali can just load a game with the Macedonians. I for one know where the Romans start.
About rules, Paali, check the RBCiv rules, to see if that suits you :

Another thing to add : This PBEM features a shady match between two concepts : politics vs philosophy. Paalikles is fond of Pericles, who ruled the Athenian democracy during the 5th century BC, and was surely tempted by more power, even though this was a "democratic" experiment. I'm more in the philosophical part, worshipping Socrates (hence my avatar) ; I know a little of him, but not enough, though I feel he had something Good in him. This game gives me the will to start some reading, and I'm about to start reading a book called "Apologie de Socrate + Criton" (in French) by Plato.
I hope Socrates will kick Pericles's butt big time.
