Huge Random. I don't see the game going a bit slow as all that big a problem given the amount of people we're likely to get in here, and the less we know about the map beforehand the better.

however, the random map generator in smac is very poor. in some games the Ai starts on very bad locations and never becomes a serious challenge.

but thats just me.`

Planet map; definetly. Standard, big or huge, according to the numbers of players.

Perhaps then a designed map by an experienced CMN who won't be participating?

OK. Or better yet, the map of planet.

But we all already *know* what the MoP looks like. Hell, those of us who got the Planetary Pack even have fold out poster maps of the bloody thing. It makes the whole game far less challenging.

that is true but i must concur with tass that random map sux (or atleast they are not that good) if some one was to build a map great!

Someone please, build the map of Apolyton.

Maybe we should use a map of Earth? No? Because Random Maps just suck.

As requested my earth map.

[DeathByTheSword]

cool map but I do not think earth will do many people do not want the planet map because they know him the same is it for earth...so a apolyton map would be great

I didn't realize the AC auto maps were so poor. Surely the advantage of a random map can be seen, however.

Maybe someone ottah make a custom map, but not show it to anyone

I voted for Standart and Huge Maps of the Planet.

[Maniac]

Does that mean you are in favour of a standard or a huge planet map?

[Method]

yes, i think it does. thats what i voted, and thats what i meant. i guess we pick the most popular map size, and the most popular of planet map and random map. so with 14 votes to huge, and 12 votes to planet, we'd pick the huge planet map.

[Anodyne]

Maniac> Either one will do. That's what I voted for, also.

Seems like random Map is already beaten Oh well..
Huge Map will slow Things very very much except the Pres' will play out more than 5 turbns/round
