I will request charriu add a new luxury resource called salt, we will pause the game, and i will request that Ramk place it next to your gold city in the sea.

It's fine that you made mistakes GKC. It's not fine that you haven't admitted to any of them and disappeared from the thread as soon as criticism of your map started. Disappearing just led to more and harsher criticism.

I just gotta know is it based on a random map? Like is this a random generation or...?

GKC, you should continue to not reply to any of the criticism - they're just fishing for spoiler info.
Of course, if the map criticism is genuine and you guys don't want to play asymmetric next time I'm up for a mirrored game.

I've always said that I'm happy to play on a mirrored map if it's too hard to balance an unmirrored one.
It's not a spoiler to admit that 10 tiles between capitals is not correct when the map is described as 15-16 tiles between capitals.

I prefer not to release spoiler info. I know my mistakes, i've been talking about them in the lurker thread. In fact, I will make it a point to address any criticism I have not yet in future posts, and I do agree that the 10 tile thing ia gross oversight on my part, but it was purely accidental due to some... last minute changes requested by lurkers and my negligence. I won't apologize for salty island of dotplanning misery, though.

1. I agree that GKC should not respond to the criticism. Being a mapmaker is a lousy job. Nobody should volunteer for it.
2. I take significant offense to the idea that we're fishing for spoiler info. We're doing nothing of the sort. We're discussing the map in our thread, which is our right as players. A lot of that is complaints. If people don't like it, nobody is forcing anyone to read this thread.
3. I'm not sure what the point of the bravado there is, am I supposed to be afraid of playing against you in a game? I've lost to better players than you and I've lost to worse players than you. I'm certainly not intimidated by you or any of them. When I say I don't want to play against someone in a game its because I don't like playing against them - sometimes its because their PYFT rating sucks, sometimes its because I don't trust them, sometimes its because I've played against them too many times and I just want some variety, sometimes its because I don't like their attitude. You know, when they do something like jump into my thread and start a fight over nothing that has anything to do with them, for example.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Quote:This island has to be one of the most frustrating and painful islands I've ever encounted. Sure looks great at first glance with the gold sheep and 3 fish around it. But in the end when you try to dot map it, you can only get 2 cities with food or 2 cities with food and 1 city with no food and a mission to work a zero food tile. So you make a choice about orphaning 2 fish (one of which we can get by settling on another island, specifically AGAIN settling on top of a luxury resource.
With the whole island and surrounds visible.....settle 1 city on the sheep (fish, gold, 3f city tile) and one up north (fish)
