So I tried this one as well, hope you don't have to adjust the settings again for me, NZ!

The one thing I really don't like about HoF is all this endless regenerating of maps, seems to take forever for decent stuff to pop up. So I took the prehistorical route of ignoring mapfinder and just press Alt+G a couple of dozen times and settled for 1 corn, 1 gold, an elephant to settle on and a bunch of flood plains. Nothing stellar, but workable I guess. Got a middle of the road 1725AD win. Leaving one AI with one city and not having to worry about domination thanks to an empty new continent (apart from a city to pick up some new-worldly resources) is at least a relief on this map.

Nope, all OK this time lol.

I know what you mean - I tend to use Map Generator for overnight runs or when I'm at work. If I'm sitting there I'll do it manually like you did.
