So very cold (of the map generator)

[sabrewolf]

cruddy: with restarting you can quite easily win at deity. i used to do so. but that's not the idea. you havn't really challenged a lever if you can't win in -let's say- 75% of all random cases.

btw, instead of restarting, you could just as well create a world in the editor and look if you like it. then chose your ideal starting location and set it to the civ you want to play as.

Aeson - can you post or update the screenshots on the first page? They seem to have disappeared.

Those screenshots were lost I'm afraid. Changed ISP's and forgot I had them hosted on my old one, and they were promptly deleted.

Has anyone got the whole thread archived somewhere? This is one thread that should go in it's entirety to Poly archives - pictures especially.

I don't know about the rest of you civvers. but IRON WORKING IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TECH I RESEARCH! And the Wheel/ Horseback Riding is right behind that! It's a huge advantage to know where the resources are, early in the game, so you can plan your cities accordingly!

i'll go for pottery or a well tradable tech (writing, math, mysticism). if you can outREX the AI you have a good chance to grab iron and horses. if you don't, the resource is probably too far away anyway...
