which land mass do you play?

[Siddhartha]

I have always played the default continent, what are the rest of you playing?

 

[Dell19]

All three... Going back to Pangea after a few island games.

 

[Amenhotep7]

Pangaea. Navies play no part in MY style of warfare.

 

[dze27]

Random! I prefer the mystery of discovering a totally unknown world.

I prefer Pangaea for straight up warmongering but Archipelago rewards a different style of play and I enjoy that too.

 

[Khift]

I use random, now, but personally, I despise the continent and archipelago games, because the only thing that matters is how good your continent is once expansion is done.

 

[Commander Bello]

Archipelago only. It gives you all - continental warfare, as well as maritim challenges.
The only form of landmass, on which you really can make good use of your units.

 

[Wolfwood]

Used to be continents, but then I realised that Archipelago is even more fun on a huge map and playing with the English...

 

[Ramius75]

So how is Archipelago like in Huge map ? i only played Continent and continent only coz i think it resemble our earth.

Archipelago, 60% water generates islands that are so big they touch each other in spots making for very interesting landmass shapes.

 

[Wolfwood]

But with minimum land mass, you get largeish, 5 or 6 isolated islands, good for 10 - 20 cities (even more, if two islands happen to melt together). Just loving it!

 

[LordKestrel]

Random, which sometimes gives you a good map for the civ, and sometimes not.

 

[ummmm........]

Looks like you may need to add random as a fourth option!

 

[Longasc]

Continents and Archipelagos - large Archipelagos with little water are actually close to continents and still offer lots of strategic options.

I do not like Pangea - it takes out the whole naval element, looks rather dull and well... it is not to my taste. I personally say, it is for beginners who want to betray themselves of half the fun.

 

[Longasc]

One option is really missing: There are lots of people who play on "real world" worldmaps or historical ones, like those in the conquests... -> custom maps perhaps. But I think it is still interesting to see which of the 3 standard options is preferred!

 

[Chieftess]

80% Pangaea. I love being crammed in, fighting for space sometimes.

 

[Raw is War?]

All 3, depends what mood I'm in really.
