Greebly just finished AG1, in which WW4 was a rule rather than an exception 
I haven't received a reply from Skyfish yet

Ya, the upgrade of Iroquois UU is much better. No argument there.
I personally am expecting we will have extended WW in the latter game, but if we can avoid it and still win, then I am all for that. Provided we can trade or capture Lux, then one can manage even level 4 WW for extended period of times if one needs to.
In part my extended WW has come from the fact that a mobilized AI cannot build Apollo. So if one or possibly more AI are a launch threat, keeping them in constant intense war keeps them from launching if you start early enough. That seems a good idea if their capitol is very hard to reach.

I will simply start the game if Skyfish doesn't answer my PM today...

If you do go for a random map, Aggie, what parameters will you use?
I would think standard map, continents, 60% water, temperate, wet, 5 billion? Somewhere between no and roaming barbs? Normal aggression and random rivals?

Did you PM Skyfish at CDZ Aggie? I know with his new job he is very busy.
I would much prefer a custom map, otherwise we could get something extremely bad (or good)...

I PM-ed him here, which he wanted. I try CDZ as well. I agree with you on that custom map.

I'm in no great hurry to start and, as anarres said, we could roll a lemon

Thanks for the maps. Skyfish. We are (slowly) enjoying your may you made for AG3.
One question on maps: I was fiddling with the editor and noticed you could choose huge and then type in a size. If you do that will you get the OCN for a huge map? Or do you have to specifically set the actual value?
I was thinking of seeing how a 240x240 map with 31 civs for AW at Monarchy played (not sure I would ever finish, but what the hey). (240 because it has aprox double the opponents and twice the area, so it would be "normal" density).

Thanks 
Can someone post a screenshot of the starting position? I'm playing AG3 and don't want to interupt that. But I'd like to discuss initial tactics.

You beat me to it!
Can we risk moving the Worker to the (Western) mountain? I'd like to see what's downriver

We would lose at least 1 worker move, which is why I usually don't do stuff like that. The only downer here is that we don't even have a BG in our starting 9.
Meh, screw usual, I say we head W too...
Edit: I forgot CFC censors everything

We lose two worker moves when we go on that mountain, unless we move the settler NW or SW. The worker can only return to the city, outside the first nine or on forest.

I know the cons but that view of both river valleys is just too enticing.
