Link for the WBS, for others to check
I've gone ahead with Pangaea.
The only balancing I've done with the starts is to amend the food resources to be balanced. Coastal starts get a fish plus two deer (plains hill forest, and plains forest). All land starts get plains hill sheep, plains cow and a wet wheat. It's not perfectly balanced, but I don't see the point in trying for that, we'll just end up accidentally favouring one player over another.
I have not added any early strategic resources to the start, but what spawned there, has stayed. Same for happy res. I have not changed, added or subtracted any happy res. I have checked the strategic resources, but because of the map constraints, it's not really possible to make sure everyone has Uranium or Aluminium without craming them within 5 tiles of the capital (or closer!) Some of these resources you may think are a bit closer to an opponent, but everyone does have access to all strategic resources. Ivory is not balanced.
Depending on who starts where, and who has a warrior start, it is possible that someone is Mortius'd. This is not avaoidable, it is inherent with the map script, number of players and demand to limited tile number.
I have not added any tiles to the game outside the capital 21 tiles. Within those tiles, I have added some land tiles to coastal starts, to bulk out some of the starts (some players had 5 land tiles). This has connected one player two 2 one tile islands. It does not affect that players ability to settle an island for 2 commerce trade routes: there are other islands within 5 tiles of that start location.
If a player or two could check the map, that'd be great. What I will also need, is for one person to send me a list of the players in this game, in a random order. I will also require a different person to send me a list of 8 random numbers (0-99) without duplicates. Once I have them, I will allocate the players to each start.
