Archipeligo or Planet Generator

[Elucidus]

Since no one else put this in play. And the limitation of planet generator was discovered. Here it is, a team vote, mind you. Which does your team want?

[Elucidus]

Feel free to discuss it, but in the interest of getting this game running I put a 24 hour clock on the poll. I hope that suits everyone.

Team captain's vote only please.

[Paddy]

Eirich Tuirann - Archipeligo

[IanDC]

PAL - Archipeligo

[Pinchak]

Due to the new light shed on this subject, the Goonies retract their vote for "Arch".

Ortho will post the new vote for the Goonies.

Wasn't this already decided?

That was before it was common knowledge that Planet Generator does not do Archipeligo. So we are voting again.

Exactly.

Archipelago with everyone contactable by galleys.

This would likely require a lot of modding and/or reloading for the in-game generator, so if mapgen makes it easier, great. I don't think anyone neccessarily wants to know we're all going to have a landmass exlusively to ourselves, though. (looking at the 'last game' settings there, don't know if mapgen could be MADE to do it right)

edit: Looking over the OLD thread, and knowing nothing of mapgen, the upper left example map is what everyone was wanting from what I can tell.

That was a "snakey continent" setting, not an 11 continent setting. I thought that was what we were voting for all along. Said it once, said it every time this comes up:

"Archipelago Snakey continents (needs archipelago setting in the in game generator, apparantly not in mapgen) with everyone contactable by galleys."

I don't know where the idea "archipelago" means everyone has their own landmass came in. That is called an "Islands" map

[Pinchak]

If planet generator could be "forced" to do archapeligo I would be all for that.

Nothing sucks more than a tundra start.

[UnOrthOdOx]

From the old thread, upper left corner. Except with random number of continents (if possible, manually roll a die if not), and make sure the seperate continents are reachable by galley (minimal editting might be required, but it appears you could use the "around center" option of the lower middle one to force it)

Just IMO.

[Zoid]

Not that I want to delay this game further than necessary now that we're back on track again. But I agree with UnO, Why is everyone so eager to get their own continent now? This will IMO severly hamper gameplay and be less fun than continents with much early contact. We know we can get a snaky continent map out of the planet generator. It's been done before and that's what almost everyone voted for.

[UnOrthOdOx]

"Archipelago" IS snakey continents with possible islands if you use the in game generator. If people are thinking otherwise, they might be in for a rude awakening.

"Islands" is everyone on their own landmass, which has never been voted for, to my knowledge.

(Unless they added a 'one landmass to every civ' option to archipelago generation in game I am not aware of)
