When you say it is like terra, does it also create a new continent where no civ starts? I'd like to try the script, I heard good things about it. But if it has a "new continent", it's something I'd only play from time to time.
Recently I've been playing Standard Size Small Continents with the water level set to Low and 2 extra AIs added to compensate for the increased map space.
The resulting maps are very interesting, with interestingly shaped continents that have some choke-points and inner seas, some low depth connections between the various continents, a good amount of actually useable islands and no space wasted by vast empty seas. It's my new favorite map type.
Although had some great fun with the Shoshone on Great Plains.
Surprised no one has mentioned continents plus. I feel like it's the most balanced map type. Plenty of small islands around the map, with 2-3 continents. Actually allows Spain and Indonesia to use their abilities, and it stops cheesy CS worker stealing at the beginning of the game.
I wish there was a "random" map option that would throw all the maps into the mix (like Ring, Sandstorm, Highlands, etc.)
If these 'plus' maps allows city states to be on the mainland, they would be the ideal map for me I think.
Wait, the "Random Map" option doesn't put things like Sandstorm and Arborea into the mix? I was always afraid of Random because I'd really really hate to play on something that favoured one terrain over the others.(
I miss planet_generator and 'islands' setting though where the all teams got a seperate island with late contact at optics..
