    18 Player 'City State' Pitboss

    Anyone be interested in 18 civs on tiny map? If we don't get 18 we can always use computers.

    How do you see this game working? You can only build the one city? Or can you build others, and it is just a case tha the land will be 'tight'?

    And I suggest no tech brokering.

    Definitely no tech brokering.

    You can build more than one city, it's not OCC. But whilst you are building that city someone near you will be building the military to take it off you.

    What map? Pangaea? or one without water?

    Hmmm, you wouldn't be able to carve out a little empire for yourself. It would certainly play differently than a normal game. Also, the AI wouldn't be subject to the OCC rules I believe.

    Map Types

    I've run some tests using various map types and sizes:

    Pangaea-Duel: Too small, not enough room for all 18 players
    Pangaea-Tiny: Enough land for all 18 players +land for ~10-15 more cities depending on water level.

    boreal/greatplains/rainforest/etc.:
    Landmaps(general)-Duel: Generally there is enough room for all 18 players, but 5 to 6 unlucky ones may have to wander around for a while.
    Landmaps-Tiny: Room for all 18 capitols, plus room for maybe 20 more cities. (ie enough room for 2 cities per player.)

    Donut-Duel: Too small
    Donut-tiny: A surprising amount of room, perhaps as many as 3 cities per player.

    If you have water or peaks in the middle, you'll only have to worry about two neighbors at a time.

    I like the pangaea tiny (with low water) - or landmaps tiny.

    I like the idea that everyone could get a second city in.

    I would like at least three more players before we start, so we have a 1:1 human to computer ratio.

    Also, quick game speed may be best with so few cities.
