I like archipelagos. They look nice, and seem to have less huge Jungly spaces.

No, (I'm still miles off that). I was posting early this morning and no one was really around in OT. I post here in spurts. It's a bit hard because I get the feeling most of the interesting discussions went on years ago and I'm an intermittent player who installs to play and then deletes the game after a couple of weeks. I'm going through a bit of a Civ phase today though.Originally posted by Spiffor

I find it jarring to play as a militarist, although I was surprised at how easy it is on the lower levels. The computer just sits there and takes it.Originally posted by peterfharris
I am a builder so I distinctly prefer (uncrowded) archipelago for most of my games. That way no one bothers me much.
When I feel like a violent game (seldom) I use a pangea map and make it very crowded with many civilisations so they act with pyschopathic aggression. The violence is extreme, the wars never end, the tech progression is slow because everyone is fighting so much that advanced government is not possible due to war weariness, less improvements are built due to never ending war. I make sure that no one is ever at peace, ever.
Anyway, started a Pangaea game today. It's different, I'll say that much.Only feebs vote.Comment

Well, considering that the Off Topic (OT) Forum does not count towards your post count, you'll be at it for a long time. However, Agathon, have you considered the possiblity of joining a PBEM/Diplomacy game hosted here at Apolyton? It's actually a lot of fun and because of this, your post count improves dramatically....but of course, PBEM/Diplomacy games are not for everyone...I guess it all depends on your playing/gaming style.Originally posted by Agathon

Sorry for the detour - back to the subject at hand. I still like island hopping - it forces you to actually have a viable navy.

Yes, it does, and this is my main gripe with archipelago maps. Naval warfare is so ill-conceived in this game that it ruins part of the fun for me.Originally posted by Wittlich

I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

I'd like to but I just don't have all the time I'd like to devote to Civ. I have a thesis to write. Perhaps in the future......Originally posted by Wittlich
