Count the "mapmaker's choice" votes as toroidal votes, and it goes up to 4-5. I believe Plako has already put significant effort into the map (at least based on some of his postings here), and it would be hugely unfair to make him pretty much start over because of a relatively trivial setting, which doesn't even have a plurality vote for change. Can you imagine putting hours and hours into a map and then having folks tell you to scrap it, when there's not even a good reason?
How much time do you think you'll need?On a somewhat related note, WPC is gonna need more time to narrow down our pick.

You need to have some settings set in stone before picks can be made. Map is so far that I would say that these are decided settings:
Map - MAPMAKER'S CHOICE, something random/special, decent amount of land, not archipelago
Wrap - TOROIDAL
Mirrored starts - NO (capital locations are very similar though)
Fair/balanced starts - YES
Corporations - ON
Barbs - OFF
Speed - NORMAL
Huts - OFF
Allow all teams pre-optics contact - YES
Size - Large (game setting) - In reality something between 80-100 x 40-60
Map works ok at any difficulty level although I recommend MONARCH. In general, if you want to have a builder game and less early warfare set the difficulty high (EMPEROR-DEITY). If you want early border skirmishes, set the difficulty low(NOBLE-PRINCE). I think MONARCH is quite ok compromise. It also keeps both Imperialistic and Organized as viable picks.
I think he means barbs off entirely. There have been some votes for that.I guess you mean raging Barbs off? Don't see any votes for Barbs off in general.
After thinking about it I can change the map to make barbs on relatively balanced (not totally) so we can assume default barbs, if that is the consensus.
