Grid. I like the 'naturalness' as one poster put it but for me its a nightmare distinguishing the tiles beyond 2 or 3 squares from a city/unit.

Well, I have the luck of a blind deaf 2-legged dog when it comes to contests, but that never stops me from trying anyway ;) Signing up.

AFAIK, hanging gardens has no minimum city req., and the national wonders that do its usually only 6 cities w/specific buildings in them (except the forbidden palace with requires 8). IMHO, a nice core of even 4-5 cities is quite fine, and none of the national wonders is powerful enough to make...
