Still up for this. Six players sounds like a fine number.

Updated first post with Charriu leaving, and additional settings/ect. Waiting to hear back from a couple people then we can find a mapmaker.

Superdeath PM'ed me about mapmaking. I could possibly maaaaybe get to it over the next several weeks. Also I don't have much experience making or balancing maps for Civ 4 (just one-of-a-team in the large PB here a couple years ago, primarily focused on the rough landform not the actual balancing). I can't make any promises regarding timeframe or quality.

First step though would be to decide on type of map you are looking for.

All on the same landmass? Tiny islands?
Tight? Roomy?
Cylindrical wrap? Toroidal?

...and thanks for the offer! I think roomy map is better for a diplo game, so that no one is eliminated early and we have space for, well, some diplo. I would prefer something like two continents connected by an island chain but better leave such details up to mapmaker, I think.

OK, gave it a bit more thinking and I think Pangea is preferrable, something like Big and Small with one massive continent and some islands. Easier to balance and more interactions between players.

  lol we don't want a repeat of 44, now do we?

I prefer a standard map, something spacious enough for 6 players, so low sea level.

Some islands are good, but not all polka dots please.
