Pitboss 18 Organizing Thread (RB Mod 34 Civs)

Hmmph, both are too crazy, or more accurately, neither match the kind of game I like. I can see tech trading being useful to reign in runaway civs, but I just don't like it. Maybe the known tech boost in a game with that many civilizations would suffice? And I look at it from the point of view of someone more than likely to be benefiting from ways to catch up in tech. I've just never cared for tech trading game play.

And torusworld, while a good map for this sort of contest from a fairness standpoint, isn't my particular flavor either. I like natural looking maps and torusworld doesn't usually give me that. Now, if someone rolled a torusworld style map and normalized it for appearance without killing the map balance in the process, that could be really good. I think in a giant game there really has to be enough water to enable a lot of naval attack options to spice things up. Without it we'd probably see two or three civs mass troops (HAs) and roll over neighbors early on and then cascade over everyone else they come into contact with. Or maybe that's just from my experience playing on big SP games where it's so much easier to pick off the retarded AIs a few at the time. Anyway, I'm intrigued by the idea (and not involved in any games at the moment! ).
