PB56 is apparently 100 tiles per player btw.

I think pb38 was just about right without the astroland(if this is the pitbos were werelik 2000 tiles of astroland). PB 56 is an atrocity and i wouldnt call that civ.

PB54 was actually slightly smaller tiles / player than PB56 and even though I got warrior rushed in PB54 there was still room for a city for both SD and myself between us and I don't think anyone else had problems with competing 2nd cities. I can't really say too much about PB56, but I've noted those map issues in my thread that probably caused your issue.

Are you counting the city ruins as a city? lol

Map makers can prevent this problem of early clash with terrain. Add in a lake or peaks or desert or jungle. Generally just don't make both players want to expand directly towards each other right away.

I am playing some games on other site.What I like there is we we play anonymus. Well after some games people figure out that they need to play against me, but  for a while was nice.

But I do  want to join this one, but if the map is too small i will pas as iwant to play civ not some strcraft variant of civ4.

Finally put my votes in.
"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow.

the map should be large enough that people are safe from getting immediately warrior rushed if they're just scouting a bit around their capital.

Well one solution would be to make it big, and then space the food out so you couldn't pack cities in...

Vast swaths of plains and desert.

Mapmaking nightmare though.
