RegentMan said:Teams, please decide what you'd like the base map type to be:
Rik Made - Completely Random
Rik makes the map, and he decides everything (70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age).
Rik Made - Parameters Team-Decided
Rik makes the map but the teams decide 70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age.
Non-Rik Made - Completely Random
Ginger or myself start up a new PBEM and pick random for everything (70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age).
Non-Rik Made - Parameters Team-Decided
Ginger or myself start up a new PBEM and pick everything (70% pangaea/80% continent/etc., size, temperature, climate, and age) according to the teams' will.
Abstain
Your team abstains from voting.
Barbarians, SGL, and SoZ terms will be decided in a different vote. Try to have the vote in by Sunday or Monday-ish.
So what do these idiots think?GA said:Off the top of my head, we still need:
Barbarians Poll
Map Style Poll
Map Size Poll
Ruleset Poll
Custom Rule Changes Poll (e.g. change to SoZ? Editing of naval units? etc.)
I think that's it...
For my part:
My first reflex is to say leave it all to Rik, but in case it does fall in our hands to decide on this:
I think for 5 people, the 'usual' standard size could be good, although if it goes to archipelago it would be nice to have a smaller world - boats do make a game longer. Being non-agr, we will benefit most from a larger map where our industriously enhanced cities/granaries will help us catch the development curve later on.
Map style: I like action, pangea. 60% only if the map size is small, otherwise 70 or 80, leaning on 70. The rest at random sounds good.
ruleset: was fine, except maybe more room for breaking treaties, I think last game was a bit stiff on that; what's the use for paranoïa if you don't get to say "They ARE coming for us !!!"
No SoZ
