I sent a message to Bodean. He might be interested. I've apparently been healed from Civaholicism.

The setting look fine to me. Although i'm with akots in that i would prefer that the map is a little crowded rather than having to much open space

I think, we should get someone to check the starting positions for us to not get too uneven positions.

Uneven positions will make sense if tech trading is ON. If not, it's imposible to catch up.

What do you mean by that, barbu? That's it's gonna be uneven anyway, so no point in correcting that? That's like giving in to the alleged fact that's it's a game of luck anyway.
IMO a lot can be achieved by diplomacy and decisive acting. It's not all about GNP and production. But some starting positions are simply to cruel to imagine. (I have a certain Texas Hold 'em player in mind. )

I mean that if you look at the Texas holdem game, there's only the few that had a good start that have a chance to win it. (Who wants to go fight IanCD's infantry when some have not discovered gunpowder yet!) If there had been tech trading, the diplomacy could have been more important and a potential dogpilling against the tech-leader is possible.
With equal starts things are a bit different. If you screw up your game, it's your own fault.

I'm with matrix here, the start is part of the luck involved in the game. We can always regenerate the map if someone feels they got an incredibly bad one

I'm in, let's see if I can do better than mere survival this time.
