Which MAP types do you play the most?

[Fabiano79]

Fractal

 

[Nebular]

I usually go with Archipelago because it seems that every time I go with Continents, I get stuck in a corner, surrounded by an AI that sets up new cities right next to mine, then complains that I'm too close to him.

 

[Mad2rix]

Pangaea for me mostly.

 

[Ravellion]

Fractal, with some Terra thrown in.

 

[danieladler]

Fractal. Quite random map so it gives you some excitement of not knowing exactly what to expect, often with thin continents that provide delicious bottlenecks. And pangea of course. It´s the most fair map since the AI cant fight across water. Sure you can choose a map where you sit on an island on deity level and win every victory there is (except for domination ofc) without ever even seeing a single try to even put ONE unit on your shores during war, but i think that games should be challenging.

 

[Gordon Brittas]

Pangea mainly, it for me is the most challenging.

 

[The Swede]

Random

 

[danieladler]

Pangaea. I find the AI handles itself better in purely ground wars.

True. The AI can ONLY do ground wars.

 

[starrywisdom]

Pangea mainly, it for me is the most challenging.

I don't find much challenge in knowing what the map will always be. Sure Pangea will be different in a sense each time you load it, but you still know everyone is on a single landmass which allows a narrow-minded strategy ;/

I prefer continents, mostly because it gets really fun when you advance into the renaissance and colonizations begins. Continents are the best way to have a real earth map without already knowing what everything looks like.

Random

 

[Dreamshifter]

Most of my games end up being Highlands (Dense Peaks in Ridgelines, Seas). The down side of that set up is that sometimes it spawns a lot of land that only one civ can get access to, which of course leads to a run-away civ. But then, I play on King, so that isn't usually a disaster, just a nuisance.

 

[MAHak2]

Oval. It's like Pangea but the bays that are carved into the continent makes navies more usefull.

Plyaing a game now where a bay almost goes into the center of the continent(where i dominate)

 

[GrayingGamer]

Pangaea. I find the AI handles itself better in purely ground wars.

This. And the AI needs all the help it can get.

I like playing archipelago but I hate how the AI throw 3/4 of their units embarked in cluster ***** off their coasts. It's quite fun to DOW and sink them all, but I still dislike it.

The Civ AI has never been good at handling island or archipelago maps and V is no exception. Whenever I want an ego salving romp I play the Ottomans on archipelago.

I think swapping those Ottomans for Polynesia (if you have it) would be even better.

 

[Bechhold]

Random always.

 

[ZEBCEB]

Pangaea.

The AI don't do water,.

 

[Truthy]

I like playing on continents.
