      I'm suprised no one has noticed, but the health and happy caps are the same from noble upwards. Only thing that is affected is tech cost and boni against barbs and for huts iirc.

        Inland Sea would be a nice map, so long as there are no wraps, or wrapping in every direction

                  I remain to be convinced about inland sea.

                  Maybe pangea, with a lot of surrounding sea might be best after all..

                      OK, after reading through the whole thread again, it seems that we have a shortlist of three basic map types.

                      Pangaea
                      Terra
                      Inland Sea

                      It also seems that the general consensus is for early diplomacy/war opportunities to promote healthy discussion from the word go. Good use of navies also shows strongly, so ample water will be a must.

                      Map Size seems to be Small or Standard, based on the number of teams who have signed up, or have shown a strong desire to sign up.

                      Climate and Sea Level I say we leave to Keygen.

                      Era is a given at Ancient

                      Speed : Normal seems to be just edging out Epic.........

                      World Wrap : Some sort of wrapping seems to be in the majority.

                      Normal Barbarians

                      Any victory condition

                      What say you all that we give this brief to Keygen to make a custom map with?

                      Shall we give map discussion 72 more hours and then leave the map process in Keygens hands? Please feel free to post what you would like added, or taken away from the brief......

                      That way Keygen can have a while to experiment and tweak some maps until he designs the perfect one; and we, the players, will have some surprises waiting for us when we finally get to play the game.......

                        Three points that haven't been mentioned much are city flipping after conquest, tech trading and random events.

                        What about??

                        City flipping after conquest ON

                        No tech brokering

                        Random Events ON

                        Your thoughts please......

                                Inland Sea It creates too many artificial "target civs" for the poor jerks who get stuck in the middle parts with no way to wrap.

                                As for declaring no Tech Brokering, that really seems to be something that would be left up to the individual teams and their diplomatic corps, doesn't it? I mean, if I make a trade with the conditions that you don't re-trade the tech, and then you do, I now know what kind of trading partner you are
