Awesome. Now all we need is a map!

How does the picking work?

[Tarkeel]

I assume everyone picks and announces in their thread, then picks are revealed when the map is hosted.

[Mjmd]

Ya basically lock your pick in the thread and then once everyone is locked can be revealed.

@Krill any estimate on starting screenshots?

[Krill]

Quick request: can someone please link to the map requirements?

I am a little under the weather right now so if you can give me the requirements now I can get starting screenshots on Monday, plus a map for lurker checking same day.

[Tarkeel]

These are the map requirements I've found:

if i have any sort of say on the map settings my vote is for high food

I don't want something like our (civforum) PB91 (or PB92). We had a long time only one happyness ressource and we don't had the food that this was a problem.
But I don't want something in the other direction, for exampel the RB PB59. As lurker, i thought, the map had to much ressourcen

As far as map I like green maps for greens. Please check for neighbor and backline balance. In a random map I don't expect these, but in a created map I think this reasonable. At least 3.5 food at start; I like hooking greens on the good drugs.

Any thoughts on map script / dimensions? I played small maps for all of my prior games so I wouldn't mind trying one with more breathing room.

One last thing on map. MINIMUM of 12 tiles between players. IE capital 12 tiles, then another capital. We um may have had two greens in a game get axe rushed once because capitals were like 9-10 tiles away with coppers pointed at each other lol.

NO one-tile islands.
Preferably no strategics in the capital BFC.
Make sure copper and horse has food.
Preferably two coppers, not in the same direction, to lessen chokes
Similar access to neighbors and islands
Please balance stone as one of the strategics; Marble can be a lux

Cool, 4 players so let me check map sizes that work for whatever mapscript I use. I'll make a map that is kind to you all.

[Tarkeel]

Personally, I find that banana-forests are a great start-equalizer, as everyone gets a 3f1h tile, with some interesting options on how to develop it further on.

Question: How much space do you want per player? 4 player maps are quite awkward you see

The other point is that 4 player games often end shortly after one player is dead, so how long do you want the game to last?
