True, but that's 20-30 spread across a very wide area. Maybe it's just because I play Pangaea, but those 30ish squid are only on the perimeter on the earth, so there are literally ~25 tiles from one squid to the next. Of the 10 coastal cities I see in my current game, there are only 6 squid visible. On an island map, the number of squid that you encounter might be staggering, but for maps that are mostly land, it makes a nice medium. If I'm the only one playing land-heavy maps, I'll just adjust my personal files. Is anyone else having an overabundance of the squid?
Can increase the radius of squid placement if you think that will be better for overall balance.
