  • Argh! 78 steps forward, 1 step backward

    Has anyone else noticed the fact that PTW defaults to 8 civs, even in single player mode on maps that allow more than 8 players? I like prefer large-sized maps and am very picky about starting locations--I like a nice, average start, nothing more and nothing less--so by the time I find a start that I like, I play for a little while and realize the map is underpopulated because I had forgotten to hit "all random" when selecting opponents.

    You know that you can fix starting locations now on a map and you dont have to restart the game a million times.

      Well what can they do, they can not read minds, so they have a default.

        Fixing starting locations beforehand would let me know where everything is, which would give me an advantage (or rather, since the AI possesses this advantage already, it would remove a handicap), which is part of the reason I go through so many restarts. Vanilla Civ3 defaulted to whatever opponents were set up for the last game you started, which struck me as being considerably better.

          You have a good point there.
