Map where everyone has room for like 4 noncontested cities before bumping borders in all directions?

and a map size of 124*100 with 29% water and 8% peaks gives about 230 useable tiles per player. I don't know what the figure is for PB13,

That's a hell of a lot more than 4 noncontested cities. PB13 has 204 land tiles per player, by comparison.

Also, I think having such a large amount of people in the game means that you can join and not take it all that seriously. It's a game to dabble in and maybe try something really off the wall, not to draw up 50 turn worker microplans. At least that's the vibe I'm getting.

I don't know, any PB game is going to take up many hours of your time over months. This forum is full of people who don't have it in their nature to play a game without trying hard. The way I look at it I need to sim and consider micro plans to level the playing field since some people are doing that in their head anyway. And the mid and late game are a lot more fun to play if you're in a competitive position.

But someone with the attitude that second place and last place are equal losers probably shouldn't play, to avoid depression.
