I was hoping we'd get some sign-ups from the recently available PB49 folks before getting down to settings, but just in case, how about:
1) Randomly rolled maps of whatever script the map maker thinks best.
2) Balance pass for land form (nobody getting their own continent, e.g.).
3) Fussing with resources as map maker sees fit.
4) Balanced capitals.
5) Players promise to love and cherish the map, while reserving the right to complain in thread.
And I'd like to see the BFC before the pick phase, but pick method is a separate discussion.

I'm not sure what lvl of tightness, but could certainly do a tile per player type vote once we have a player list. Maybe with some recent maps for comparison. Having played on two larger maps, I am kind of feeling something smaller.After returning from vacation (a week from now) I'll set up the polls/ spreadsheet to get settings decided. Right now we haven't even talked which base mod we're playing, as none but one player have stated their preference (I'm undecided myself, but leaning CtH).
My idea was to give the mapmaker sufficient discretion; if he wants to make a map from scratch that's great. But we can take naufragar's suggestion as a minimum requirement maybe?
Commodore, I get that you're considering it? That would be nice. However I'm also still hoping we can get the signups above 8.
I suggested a rather right map in the OP, maybe not as much as 49, but not a lot spacier either. maybe something between 49 and 53? But we can also put it to a vote.

One warning ... the last no-score game I remember had a divide by zero but if you opened the score chart ... so make sure that doesn't happen.
Oh that opportunity, players please post your mod preference (RtR/CtH), and whether that's exclusive
