Very yummy capitals! (that's all I looked at)

Babylon:

Um, so, that Fish can't get a workboat until Babylon gets a second city? Or he gives up the Cow?

These both facts are as I wanted them. Not sure it makes sense though . Everyone has options to move or stay in place.

Unfortunately Serdoa lost the lottery "again" and is in most central position. Although I'm not sure he has actually had bad luck in other games.

His map trouble in PBEM10 was that he didn't get to the iron fast enough, which was perfectly even, he just ran into Meatbalz who REXed very hard.

And it works, because you're giving him a PH start with a wet corn and a cow, which IMO is plenty of food to run an army, and solid production. And the fish will show up around T30 or so as another food boost...it actually works.

Krill tries to craft his maps so that moving isn't an option, but this is meant to be more "natural", so that's less obvious. Also, in-place is sufficiently amazing that moving more than one tile isn't likely to be an issue, if it's even better.

The mini-map looks like a very obese stegosaurus moving right.


Should be fun, hopefully the equatorial jungle will cause EW early wars and then NS later wars.

Moby-Harmless is the only one without fresh water at his capital but has an awesome second city site collecting fish, corn, cow and copper!

Are all the capitals pre-settled? If not then scooter can move 1S and get clam,clam,corn,cow at his capital.

Dazed can settle 2SE for crab.crab,cow,fish.

I like the map otherwise! Everyone has easy access to horse copper adn iron which makes for a good game.

Thank you. I'm glad to have comments and you're asking the right questions, but I've actually thought these things out

Mostly_harmless has best map position in the game so fresh water handicap is not a big issue especially when he can move to claim 2 rices and riverside. Actually I would move in his shoes 1S of the rice, but we'll see what he does.

Dazed can't see cows and if he settles SE-SE it isn't that much stronger spot at least early game. He would lose Corn, plains hill and riverside. I wouldn't move even if knew about the cows.

Capitals are not presettled. Everyone can move and I've tried to make it so that everuone actually have this option to change the nature/power of their capital, if they want.

[Square Leg]

That sounds reasonable. 1S of the rice uses a turn but the trade off is pretty good, if not spectacular.

Serdoa is the only one who doesn't to play with islands is the only last thing I can think of at the moment.
