Do we want the standard number of opponents which comes with the map size, more opponents, or fewer?

Once again, no discussion has been held. This poll will be scored by cumulative voting and is open for 3 days.

At least standard, if not more. I always play with more so I'm not alone in the middle of nowhere when barbs come a calling.

EDIT: Still waiting on the poll

Note: 200% = double standard, so on a map which normally has 5 opponents we would have 10.

Note 2: The bottom half is not equal to the top half because the analogue of 200% would be 0%, obviously can't have that. ;)

Stupid forum shows the thread while you're still typing the options for the poll. :lol:

I randomly disagree, because 200% is twice as much, it analogue would be 50% or half.

Now that you have given me all the choices I can't decide.

If you're thinking of products, then your observation is correct.

However, think of adding and subtracting percentages...
100+100 = 200
100+50 = 150 (thanx GA)
100-50 = 50
100-100 = 0

Obviously I've been thinking far too much about after Christmas sales and the percentage discounts which are available. :lol:

Not so much products, I just went through hell, a Mathematical Philosophy class where we got to learn that some infinities are larger that other, fractals, and random occurrences. I am now a Mathematical Philosopher. ;)

200% gives the warmongerers something to do.

100+100 = 200
100+50 = 100
100-50 = 50
100-100 = 0

Obviously, yes, you have been thinking about those a bit too hard. ;)

Even with normal opponents, the warmongerers will have things to do. Adding civs will only slow the game down.

k, something extra to do then :)

Just make it standerd people, no need to overcroud the map and be able to only make 2 cities

I'd recommend against >standard, just because it seems that funky things happen to the map generator when it runs out of starting locations. (Like putting a settler someplace with no resources nearby at all.)
