A map made by humans can have a little fun added to it; the whole reson for this second game. I say go for the custom map; I'm sure all starting locations will be equally good/bad.

Because then all the teams would know the general shape of the world and where the other continents are even before they've explored the map themselves. That would remove one of the elements of surprise and fun in the game, IMHO.Originally posted by panag

Also, huge is just too big. The game would move on a lot slower, which is not ideal for a team-PBEM. Besides, IIRC the map size was already decided (standard) so it doesn't matter anymore."Close your eyes, for your eyes will only tell the truth,

Did Aeson join the PtWDG II game? If not, he may be the perfect candidate to check/review the generated map. Of course, there a certain risk that he will color it in orange, but hey, you can't get both quality and cheap price in the same time! The solution is of course to bribe him with an expensive orangesoda

Of course (I think), the human map would be largely based off a generated map. Then we make small changes we deem necessary.Proud Member of the ISDG Apolyton Team; Member #2 in the Apolyton Yact Club.

I like the idea of humans tweaking a random map.
The creator(s) can have the map generator spit out maps until it produces one with promise, and then changes can be made as needed to make sure nobody is totally screwed.
Note that making sure that nobody is totally screwed is not the same thing as balance. I don't particularly want perfect balance (and am unsure there is such a thing anyway, because there are so many variables). I'd just rather not have anyone get stuck with a "So Very Cold..." type start spot.

the time it takes to play the turns is not the issue, it's how long it will take to finish the game. One larger maps empires become bigger and thus more difficult to finish off.A true ally stabs you in the front.

That's exactly why a game played on a huge map will be slower.Originally posted by panag
the bigger the map is the more starting locations there are on it , ..... way more fun , way bigger empires , ...
First of all, there'll be more micromanagement to be done each turn. Second of all, teams will meet up later rather than sooner, which means that the aggressive tech trading will start a lot later.
Yes, we are. That happened all the time in the current-running PTWDG. Sometimes a single turn it took even more than two full days... mainly GS and Vox's fault, I admit. Okay, mostly just GS's.Originally posted by panag
