Or Random, for each setting. (Can be random on 1 and not on the other.)

Captains vote for your teams etc.

I'm ready to make the map. Should I decide on these settings, or wait for votes from the team leaders?

Hmmm... I haven't seen much other than middle-of-road from what little i've seen at all.

Do you want to wait until we're sure about # of teams? Tuesday night perhaps? :)

I'll ask the team leaders to vote by then.

Now that we changed civ choise to Egypt, we want dry/cool/5 bil to give our WC's some movement :lol: (j/k)


No, seriously i think that random would be the best option ? Or middle of the road - avg/avg/4 bil.
(I think that was the option Krill wanted in our team, others have not commented)

I suggest not going with random; we're going to get something, after all, and unless there's no meaningful consensus we might as well get the sort of map we want. :)

But i'm fine with random if that's the consensus, and certainly if there's a significant degree of disagreement on the settings. :)

Now that's an interesting choice for a mongol civilization which prides itself on its unit that treats hills like grassland ... :)

No entirely human made map?

Yes. That's what I said, 4/avg/avg.

No, BFM. Random-ish maps are much more ... interesting then anything a person could come up with; they simply throw things at you that you haven't seen before. And it's a lot less work, too; making from scratch a balanced, interesting, varied map even just 'small' takes many hours, whereas balancing a random map (and throwing out options if they're no good) takes an hour or two at most, as far as I can tell.

You're right about the time use; however, I disagree about your other point. Human-made maps can be far more interesting (surprising, even) than computer-generated ones.
