Map Discussion

Yer he isnt going to make one civ unplayable, just let him work his magic.

Whatever Sirian wants to do would be great.

 

[Furiey]

I would prefer to leave as much up to Sirian as possible, the less we know the better. I see no reason to specifiy temperature, sea level, world type etc, all we need to specify are the number of civs and perhaps the world size if we want to specify if we want a cramped or spacious world.

 

[Whomp]

Map size is about the only things we need to give Sirian. He has proven that he gets the program. I'm not worried that he would have a balanced and fair map.

Could we just put a team poll up and let the teams decide. It seems as though the same stuff is being posted every so often while people argue their point. It would be nice to give Sirian a little time if we decide to go with him/

have to wait until every team has a UN rep.

well get on it. There's already team polls for admin approval and pitboss/pbem. So why couldn't this discussion cease and be relegated to the team forums and post a Team Poll?

Tubby, I've contacted RM about how to proceed with the map discussion. Sorry for the slow pace - some times aren't as active as Team Piffle. You should see a thread hopefully within a day or two or so.

As for teams w/o Reps, they can just have anyone from their team post until they get one.

 

[BCLG100]

well im temporary rep until we finalise it so if need be we can vote on anything.

 

[Sirian]

Sirian isn't a dummy...

That's debatable in some quarters.

I recently proved that I can't remember the difference between Hub and Ring.

how bout 1 big map of the world

 

[Tubby Rower]

A map of the world is predictable and the Fog of War has no meaning as most of us know what the land masses look like.

 

[Karl Townsend]

good point

 

[BCLG100]

That and it is fairly likely only certain starting locations will only have certain resources.

i dun want to see iron n copper at every starting position (or none). the starting position should force teams to search for unique approaches fitting there unique circumstances. therefor i thing the best way is: get a random map (if sirian thinks a specific random Map isnt interesting nuff just let him make another) and sirian works his magic to balance it just as much as he thinks is nuff to get roughly fair starts.

all together my point is, that its an incredible complex problem u are faced with makeing an heterogeneous map from soup to nuts, while considering balance issues. allthough sirian is a mapmakeing genius, i think its more presumable that a map (with the claim beeing heterogeneous) out of a human hand, has more balance issues than a random map balanced by a human.

sounds odd but its my opinion.

Do you see that from my map scripts?
