Your favourite land?

[MadScotsMan]

What type of land do you prefer, and why? Poll!

I like archipeligo, mostly because I think it feels more realistic. I do like to conquer as much as I can, but I just have to wait, but I don't have a problem with that because I am a big fan of short and fast colonial wars. I purposly don't settle whole islands for these wars.

Multiple contintents feels best to me. On a standard map, eight civs, two continents of three and two island starts, with other little islands dotted around (esp. if they have resources on them), is my favourite set-up.

I play standard maps often, but I think the most fun games I had, were on pangea maps.

 

[Alpha Killer II]

Pangea, Wet, Cold, 60% Water, I like taking over big lands, and I dont like Global Warming destroyin the world :3
But I play the World Maps mostly nowadays ;D

 

[King Flevance]

I usually don't care and like having it set to random but I prefer non pangea games as I like having navy play a large role in the mid-late game. Although some pangea maps can still offer this.

I agree, and mostly from the perspective speed. I like to keep my games under 8 hours of total play time. Maybe I should start a much different game and work on it in small bites. But that's where my addiction comes into play, pardon the pun. I become obsessed until the AI is begging, giving away all of gold and has been wiped off the map.

I voted continents only, but really...it depends on what kind of victory I want to go for. That being said...obviously I go for the victory condition I feel is best attempted at while playing in continents.

I usually set all random, but the games I most enjoyed are those with a big pangea and a good exp civ: Arabs , Hittites .

 

[Diviner]

multiple continents and islands. mainly because i find it is balanced, navy have some role, colonies have also a more important role to get the needed faraway resources and its atmosphere is great.

dislike big pangeas where the distances makes war ambitions a little harder

 

[Sashie VII]

Continents, since I find it to suit my style best. I like having a few people on the same landmass to bully in the early rounds.

 

[Aramazd]

It depends, but generally I prefer Continents.

 

[Ansar]

Continents.

I like to use boats, but not excessively.

EDIT: Damn! Voted for the wrong option!

I also like archipelagos, so where is that option?

Second option.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I like Continents with several decent sized islands scattered about for colonization.

 

[firepeoplebb]

I like archipelagos the most with 60% water so I don't end up sending 75% of my navy in for suicide missions. Expecially when you get a decent tech lead when privateers come around and you can harras the AI extremly well with all their coast cities.

unfortunatley privateers are only useful for so long withou mods

 

[Yoda Power]

I play pangea like 80-90% of the time.

Try my script out its just a mod of Big and Small, Main feature is it allows you to change the Islands into Continents and gives some pretty cool results
