[ormuzd]

I was just asking about greece - as example. I'll take a look tomorrow at these maps

Perhaps we should decide to fill some holes in? Don't want to imbalance the game too much.

What civs might everyone want?

I'd enjoy playing Germany or France.

Why don't we use the Europe map that came with the PTW and determine fair start positions based on the historical locations of the civs?

Randomized resources of course.

I would be willing to play as the Celts, Ottomans, or Germans.

[Jon Shafer]

The Europe map that comes with PTW is a bit big, a bit sparse, and a bit inaccurate.

If worse comes to worst, then we can go with it, but I think there are better alternatives if we're willing to look.

I'll hereby throw in my chips for France... good position, not bad traits, acceptable UU. I'll give them a good name again.

I thought it was rather small myself.

I find Europa map good but of course we should randomize the resources.
But in all cases I want to start in the south-east and change some tribe (ottomans or greek or else) to bulgarians

[GeneralTacticus]

I'd like to play too. A Europe map would be fine with me; I don't really care what start I get.

[Jon Shafer]

Great.

Here's a list of people who have at least shown interest:

Trip - France
GhengisFarb - Celts, Ottomans or Germans
ormuzd - Bulgars (Greeks)
Tiberius - ?
Flandrien - ?
GeneralTacticus - Doesn't care

Here's a thread to my favorite Europe map (which I adapted to a new version)

I forget the size of it, but it's pretty big.

What do you guys think of this map?

[ormuzd]

I agree with the map

I think some of the tiles along the Nile should be floodplains instead of grassland but otherwise it is fine with me.

I assume we would still randomize starting resources?

[Jon Shafer]

Floodplains being added now...

Yes, all resources, goody huts and bonus grassland tiles will be randomized for the final version.

Since we're getting things rolling here, what is everyone's email address?

I'll keep a list of them in my first post.

Does anyone want specific colors?

I got dibs on white. I am not being pink, I'll tell you that now.

Also, what preferences do peopl want on/off? Default rules? Accelerated Production? Respawning? Random seed? Etc.

I think everything should be default.

[ormuzd]

yes, all default - a normal game so to say
