Overview of games played so far. Bit spoilery with map setting and type of attack used, but useful if you are looking for a particular strategy employed (HA rush, for example). Not spoiling results.
As the title says. I am looking for map suggestions I could record a LP on. Instead of rolling purely random maps, I want to involve the community a bit. I also want to avoid rolling maps myself since I might end up with something too easy or inappropriate (e.g: two isolation maps in a row). Maybe you are an aspiring Deity player and want to share a starting save from a game you are currently playing. Or a seasoned veteran who wants to see me crash and burn. Maybe dig up an old save from 2009 which nobody beat and I am not aware of. It doesn't matter.
Also, different strategies and approaches could be discussed here. Maybe I can use this thread similarly to the Isolation Workshop one. To put current games up for discussion and shadowing. To record progress. Bullpen-like.
Since I can't play everything simultaneously, I will put the various maps up for vote on my channel at different points in time. I will probably still do most of the new NC ones and the odd isolation game.
I would ask to keep it within the following settings:
Map type: Mainly Fractal/Continents/Pangaea ... or something more exotic, but I want to avoid stuff like Highlands where I end up with 30 cities. Don't want to upload 20 episodes. It doesn't really make for good viewing either when turns take hours later.
Map size: Standard. For the same reasons.
Sealevel: Medium or High. Because ^
Speed: Normal
Difficulty: Deity
Huts and Events turned off.
And MOST importantly: Not cooked in any way. Naturally generated. To avoid artificial situations that are not representative. I don't want to play for 10 hours to find Darius has a continent with 40 cities to his own. I am also scared of the sadistic tendencies some posters have displayed in the past
. Maybe avoid isolation ones, as to avoid overlap with the other thread.
Everything else default (could think about mixing it up later, but default for now), stuff like climate/civ can be random.
Optionally give a (very general, non-spoilerish) hint as to why the map could be worth playing. Or let the starting position speak for itself
. Would help with the voting process. I wholeheartedly invite plains cow starts. Those are the most fun. So do your worst.
(Also, I probably can't open saves that are created with BAT mod and stuff).

. But your idea is really cool so I rolled another Sitting Bull start~ ofc I know the opponents now but "all warmongers" speaks for itself anyway
