map settings

[del62]

What choices do you make for types of victory in earth age, cool/ temperate / hot and wet/normal/ dry for various victory conditions

say for a milk run what would be best

what is best for high science

are there any good articles on map settings

For a milk game I'd suggest:

Warm: More desert and less tundra. Desert give more food then tundra (especialy for an agri civ)

Wet: More rivers, and more jungle (especially combined with warm) More food and commerce.

5 million: Less mountain. More food.

Well that is infact my favorite for all kind of games.

For a milk run, warm, wet, 5 billion as already stated. Jungle and marsh also get called "uncleared grassland", thus more food for more population. For high science, it's probably the same as even though the AI may not clear tundra (if you want them to have high science also), they'll have less tundra and less desert. However, some maps might have more food overall if put at dry or moderate, but NOT cold, since desert along rivers make for flood plains. I kind of doubt that though.
