For me either is good too... Lets see what the rest think.

 

[Lord Vermillion]

Settings look good, although I personally am still torn between highlands and terra, both can be way fun. Maybe we just decide in launch screen? Normal speed may drag a bit in mp, but I'll deal with it .

 

[Sureshot]

i like a highlands map because of the hills and high land ratio of the map (smartmap gives great options for getting high land ratios too - but thatd prolly be slow on startin) but terra is always fun with the whole new world to explore later.
i favour quick too, but i can deal with normal

 

[Lord Vermillion]

GRRRRRRRRRR ARGHHHHH Curse the woman!!!!! (no offense to any women on here) I may have to delay this game a bit, say...maybe an hour. The woman is giving me tons of crap. I dont know. It is 7:00 PM EST here, and i will be leaving in 1 hour. hopefully I will be able to get things going by 9:00 PM EST. if not, well I guess carry on without me, unless you guys can wait.
Isn't it amazing how you can love someone and hate them at the same time??!!! I will post on here about 8:15ish my time, and let everyone know. (I dont expect anyone to wait for me for extended periods of time by any means)

 

[Sureshot]

im sure the australian person will appreciate the extra time getting up lol

 

[Silverkiss]

Just got home, avaiable to play for now on.

 

[Sureshot]

ya im ready whenever

 

[Silverkiss]

Now we just wait Bad Player to awaken from his dreams and Lord Vermillion to escape from "The Woman" xP

 

[Bad Player]

im sure the australian person will appreciate the extra time getting up lol

Not really - I'm up now!

 

[Silverkiss]

=D

Cool ! Only Lord Vermillion then !

 

[Sureshot]

hmm.. have either of you tried a standard size terra map high sea level with 5 players? i just tried it and it was a stretch to get 2-3 cities for each civ on the main continent. if we put any ai's its gonna be hard battling just for your second city i think.

 

[Silverkiss]

Ahn ? Normally I pull off 3 cities or 2 "ideal" cities.... If I go to war soon I can get up to 7 cities...

Well, Maybe we should just play Continents then ?

 

[Sureshot]

terra standard high sea level has about 18 idea cities sites, so only 2 people are gonna manage 7 cities and one person will own 4 and someone is gonna be wiped out very early lol im really thinkin we should avoid ai's and lower the sea level

 

[Silverkiss]

Humm... I never played on lower sea levels, maybe I´l lag....

 

[Bad Player]

I've mainly played continents and I thought it was ok..

 

[Sureshot]

more land makes more lag?

well terra is alright, but i don't think we should have any AI's, or we'll all have trouble getting started

what about medium sea level?

 

[Silverkiss]

More land = more cities = more unit/worker/improvments/etc = more lag for my crappy old pc T_T

 

[Sureshot]

ah oki, i always thought map size (regardless of land ratio) was the biggest lag causer. i don't notice much difference between terra and highlands, but i notice a huge difference between any standard map and a large map.
but then no ai's on terra high sea level? im really not liking being the one stuck with AI's taking my city sites, and it'll be random who gets stuck with em.

 

[Sureshot]

woops, i didnt see the whole discussion about continents lol

id be up for that
