Favorite Map Type so far?

[Proteus]

Continents.

But I acutally would love a map that is a mix between continents and island plates.
Something like "small continents"

you can keep your shuffle map every time i've tried it all it does is spawn a map with tiny islands all clustered together. it might as well be called tiny island plates not shuffle!

i like the Inland See. Tons of land, and a smaller central see for naval skirmishes. It's sort of Pangea with water actually mattering.


What i would love to see is an all land map with no Tundra.

I'm surprised to see Continents win this poll--I guess it is the default but I really, really don't like Civ VI's Continents map. Every time I play (usually on Small, occasionally on Standard), I'm getting two big Continents that evenly split the Civs, often both stretching from pole to pole (and usually making circumnavigation impossible). Boring. Why can't I occasionally get three or four continents, or an isolated start, or horizontal continents, or a circumnavigable world?

I want Civ V's Small Continents map back.

I don't think Island Plates makes for good gameplay. Pangaea and Inland Sea do, although both come with an extremely high risk of AI Religious Victory. Fractal is probably the most fun by virtue of being the least predictable.

Fractal has given me the most fun maps so far.

Pangaea in this game seems unbalanced, it generates way too much land for the number of civs. Last time I tried it, it put 4 civs on the left half of the continent, and 2 civs (including me) on the right half. After rushing out the other civ on my side I had space for like 20 cities, on a "small" map. I didn't settle them all cause it got too tedious.

Inland sea seems like it might be fun, but it has a bug where it generate invisible rivers.

Can I plug my mod here?

Better continents, bigger "large" & "huge" maps, added small continents script, scaled starting locations by map size (so no more "everybody within 9 tiles of me") and more to come.

Pangaea playing as Romans is teriffic.
Shuffle is fun, because there's a ton of variety.

I haven't tried Fractal yet, and Inland Sea is nothing special.

The "age" settings are actually useful in this iteration of Civ, you can get mountain passes and hidden valleys which adds great flavour to maps.

The resources seem a bit too high though. Normal seems like abundant??

I'm with you. I liked Small Continents, too, and I've found Island plates to be the closest. In fact, I can routinely get my own private island with that script, something that was never possible in Civ V--I would always have at least one city state with me.

Thanks for the plug

Bonus resources are much more common but I think that's because you can harvest them for a one-time bonus that's actually pretty handy, especially in mid-game as your cities are growing and may need that space for another district. The strategic resources feel as scarce as ever for me, I rarely have iron or oil because the game hates me.
