Map Types

[Stilgar08]

I'm a bit unnerved. I like to play unpredictable maps but playing fractal gets me a pangea 8 out of 10 times, shuffle gets me a pangea more often than anything else. Do I really have to play continents or Island plates if I don't want pangea? Or is it just bad luck?

Are there any map mods out there smoothing things out for me?

I'm not a big fan of Pangaea either. Removing or minimizing the water aspect makes me feel a part of the game is missing.

I think continents has a good deal of variety. You can sometimes be isolated, or have a sparse continent, or you can have a crowded one. And there are random islands in the middle of nowhere that should be claimed but I really should.

The main problem with continents is the possibility of a runaway on another continent that may be too hard to even reach, much less stop.
