Tsunami is just op and I don't want to be forced to go OO and modify my city settling locations to avoid water because of it.

[Kragroth]

Just a note inland sea doesn't settle team members nearby each other. We might need to modify a team battleground map. Starting together id very important in my view.

this is why, between other things, we have a human mapmaker

[Kragroth]

I'd also probably say based om the nature of inland sea that we likely don't want a world wrap.

[Kragroth]

A couple of points;

1. Are you all allowing settlers to settle a city and then transfer ownership to another civ, presumably making civ specific buildings before the transfer?

If so, I absolutely do not want that.

2. I am ok with a couple of unique features but the gargoyle one must be deleted. That defeats the purpose of no barbarians and I've had too many mp games ruined by them.

that is why i suggest, no clan, and any1 can do that, and become some kind of settler builder (it might be some kind of team strategie where 1 of the team member takes care of the city building, all the cities will have to be build outside culture)
or no city switching, and you can go clan if u want.

No.
You just collated that post - the preference is for only on the first turn, I.e. Before any buildings can be built.

.

I kinda think we've already voted on this one, (under all unique) and the result was pretty unanimously for mapmakers choice.

Unless ffh changed this then inland sea does. There is sometimes an issue if it is north v south rather than east vs west though. It creates a really awkward to play map if that is the case.

[Kragroth]

Yeah but this allows crazy tactics the game wasn't designed for like switching for Civ specific buildings ( not just warrens), giving cities to philo civs or industrious civs for quicker wonder production. Giving cities to organized civs just for command posts. It adds a whole new level of micromanagement and further increases the divide between having the right civ and the wrong civ.

No way. Unacceptable. Not first turn, not any turn.
