Korea sounds like fun. I think we need to find a way to use the Hwacha at least once. It does have lethal bombard now with Conquests too, so its a bit stronger than before. I'm not so sure about its ability to start a golden age though.
I'm kind of a half builder/half war type of player. I try and keep the home front secure and productive, but I won't hesitate to attack, especially in the early game to deny my neighbors a strategic resource. And if they manage to build in my first ring, well they are just asking for it.
If we are aiming for a space victory, I would think Continents would be best. Pangea seem to alway be asking for war, while securing a continent sets itself up to a space victory. But I'm happy with either. As for land mass details, I say random, random, random. Gives a little challenge to have to adapt to our conditions.
Are we leaving only Space Victory on? Or is it only our goal, but with other options available (for us to win or to lose by)? I'd prefer the latter, as it can be fun trying to be a peaceful future astronaut, while your neighbor intends to conquer through culture or diplomacy.
One last thing... wouldn't using the seed negate all the land mass options? Or does it just control the resource spread?
I can't wait to get this thing going...
