How about Denmark on lakes map with large lakes?
Also, number of trade routes is fixed, so civs that have OP trade UA would do better on smaller maps (but the smallest maps are probably too small).
Finally, UUs with movement buffs (Persia, Zulu, Denmark) would get a disproportionate buff from Epic and Marathon.
explain the rationale for denmark and lakes? Are you talking their embarkment perks...how is it better than just flatland though?
Yeah, I haven't added anyone solely on that idea, but there's been some talk about Iroquois/Aztec on heavy forest with marathon being OP as well. You have ages to war with their UU and they get massive buffs to travel and combat in the woods. I recently played Aztecs and enjoyed their OP jag promotions on my melee all game. I had 2 elite units that continued to survive and wrecked havoc every war in the heavy-forest borders with the woodsmen, blitz, and march. I can only imagine the OP upgrades that would come on marathon.
