Thanks for the feedback about PB43. I will keep that in mind on my next map.

I thought the pb43 map was great. Sure, no-one is forced to try a weird strategy because of the map screwing them, but that doesn't stop weird strategies...

Yeah, mapmaking is basically an impossible task. Everybody loves asymmetrical natural looking maps, but when the game gets going, neighbor having an additional safe front / room for one extra city / gems one tile closer to capital is enough to cause grief.

That's a benefit of playing random maps: no one to blame smile The mod is now getting to the point that so long as there is a bit of land and food the game is playable.

On that note...sorry Lewwym.

As you're reading this I want to say that there's nothing wrong with the map. I don't remember the exact criteria the players posted, but I think you were well within it and did a good job. It's just not what I personally enjoy, and it's impossible to please everyone.

Agreed. 43 isn't to my taste, but it's great and right to the players specifications.

If this is going to start up in September I'd be interested in anything except a diplo game.

I see that you will play AI diplo. Just wanted to mention that there will also be the new game option of "True AI diplo", with which you have all the trade items you have in SP. Here a short list of things I remember:
  • Declare war
  • Stop trading with
  • Make peace with
  • etc.
If you want to use this I only would advise you to test these in a quick three player game (Duel size, medieval start)
