Score. El Grill, you have what you need?

Any strong passion for RBmod vs BTS?

Whoops, didn't see this until now. I can start rolling maps tomorrow evening, if you guys have any preferences in map generation, settings, mod version, or pick system, just let me know.

My plan is:
1) roll duel-sized cylindrical Totestras as in PBEM68
2) eyeball that players are evenly spread out
3) balance each capital location and send screenshots
4) use novice's map analysis tool and adjust accordingly
5) further check early luxuries and strategic resources
6) manually edit the savefile for settings and your picks
7) solicit lurker feedback

Sound reasonable?

I'm fine with either RBmod or BTS with some mapmaker-chosen combos.

bts is preferable just for the ease of not installing a mod imo... i'll defer to the majority opinion if there is one anyway

BtS it is then, random combos winnowed to a good balanced 7 or 8.

I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Hey guys, I've rolled a dozen maps, and I've noticed that Totestra doesn't produce jungles or their associated resources. Changing the climate option doesn't seem to help. This means much less variety in resources, and there are the usual issues with player spacing and land quality.

At first, I wondered if this had to do with making Duel-size Totestras, but the same thing happened with a Huge map. I then checked the map script, and it mentions jungle plenty of times, so now I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if there's a bug in the map script, or if I messed up my settings, or something else entirely. I'll try to figure it out, but the map will be delayed a few days as a result.

EDIT: There's something wonky going on with the climate controls. Tropical and cold both produce no jungles, but temperate and arid are both too dry for my liking. I'll see if I can adjust that in the mapscript.
