I'm not too clear on the fractal maps. I'd like to play on a 2-3 plot maze map. that looks mighty interesting.

What an excellent reference! Great work, Matrix!

killercane 10-07-2007 18:49

Very nice work Matrix. Sirian has a map reference guide on Apolyton in the Civ 4 main thread IIRC.

Question though: how do low, medium, and high sea settings as well as the climate settings affect a map in particular? For example, if you have high seas, continents, and arid settings enabled, will you have more tiny continents (and not a big two) and more flood plains on the arid setting? What setting gives the most food in general, highlands +temperate?

Tubby Rower 10-07-2007 19:03

I think that the seas effect the total amount of land tiles vs water tiles. that's it. So if you want more room to spread out, then have low seas and vice versa

Matrix 10-07-2007 19:11

Indeed. Sealevel doesn't influence the number of rivers.
