Best map

[ybbor]

okay, i've heard a lot of discussion as to what the best map size/typeis so i'm making a poll, post your responses

EDIT: in my opinion, continents, Large

Personally, I prefer huge/pangaea, but that's because they're typically the best settings for milking high scores...

BTW, your sig is probably too large. The use of so many emoticons probably violates the 5 line text rule given the extra space they put in...

 

[ybbor]

fixed sig,

anyway, i don't like huge because movement is screwed up, it is nearly impossible to wage war, even in the modern era, as even air/parratroper units can't reach much farther than the front lines, and don't even think about trying to move 1 movement people, let alone wage ar on another continent (or in the case of Pangea the other side of the continent)

 

[Gainy]

Pangaea, as the naval aspect of PTW is poor, contacts are developed earlier, and there are more wars
Standard, because any bigger and it gets boring...

 

[Sarevok]

huge continents

 

[kokoras]

I prefer the standard maps,or small if i want to have a quick game.And i like water,plenty of water...and islands.

 

[Aramazd]

I like Standard pangea

 

[downwithgravity]

huge pangea. games last longer and big games are just more fun, IMO.

 

[Tsargrad]

Huge Custom Maps, such as Europe.

But standard Map, prefer Huge / Continents

 

[Masquerouge]

Huge continents... Game last even longer than on a pangea, and now with the new C3C features you discover the other continent really late in the game... That's great, because all the time you're thinking, "Okay, I can handle my continent, doing pretty well, but... what's happening to the other side of the world ?"
And the luxury/strategic part is really important on huge maps...

 

[Darkness]

Huge pangaea, but anything huge goes really...

 

[CivCube]

They all have their good points.

There is no "best," that's silly. I voted my favorite -- huge, continents.

"wet" and "warm" with that when I want an Eden.

I like either standard pangaea, or standard continents. I like to have large bodies of land for me to conquer without having to cross alot of water.

 

[cgannon64]

Large Continents. Its the best.

EDIT: I'd play Huge but my computer can't take it. In the Late Industrial Ages it just gets unbearable.

 

[ybbor]

for those of you who voted for other, what did you mean?

 

[Al Zan]

Huge, continents is the best to expand and grow

 

[KingTux]

I personally like making the largest maps you can and playing them on a pangea. However, I'd settle for continents, as it doesn't always give you a "true" pangea map.

i guess the main reason i like a large map is because i feel traped, and confiened in a small map, but in a large map, i feel as if once i'm to the point i'm comfortable with the size of my empire, the map is ussualy full, so no AI gets a bigger empire than me. also on a Huge map, nobody can really move that well, considering how long it gets from point A to point B
