Mapmaker specifications

[Provolution]

We should notify our desires to the mapmaker, what type of land and sea we want.

We should ask for a map that does not discriminate

We should go for something resembling "Terra", with a new world, and an old world divided by ocean, with all civs starting in the old world, or for continents with islands not divided by ocean.

We want a large map with standard ocean or standard map with low ocean.


Otherwise, we would have balanced starts, but not necessarily linked

Actually I thought Dave already put us down in general for "mapmaker's call." But basically I support having some diversity - not a straight Pangaea, something tectonics/highland/diff continents. I would not specify terra myself, but I'm still flexible. Given what other teams said I think it's already going to end up left to the mapmaker, to create mostly balanced starts on a non-flat, pure-land map. No one really voted for artificial wheels or donuts or hubs or such.

I think having a main continent for all 6 civs, as well as some islands around it would be good, possibly 3 larger islands (2 to compete for each island) or 2 larger islands (3 to compete for each).

Without water usage, half of the game interest is gone, due to maritime civs. This was the problem with the last game.

Hopefully the map maker will learn from the mistakes of the last game. No contact via land is not a game breaker.
