Where's the First X?

Try a mapscript like Perfect world. In the few games I have played using this mapscript I have only come across two opponents on the same land mass. The other opponents are ussually on an island seperated by at least one ocean tile, if not more (one tile can be bridged by culture). You also get some barbarien New World land masses that can not be reached until later in thge game.

Give it a try.

I realise your concern is regarding Civ4, but where the hell were you during this phase.

I spent 10 years playing Alpha Centauri, mostly on the largest map size. In that game, encountering the first other civilization was often a big deal.

We would have eagerly welcomed you into the Smacx MP world.

Anyhow you can still join there especially the IP game option.

I prefer playing computer games solitaire. For playing with humans, I prefer face to face, either board wargames like Advanced Squad Leader or Euro games.
