I would not go that far. I think I explained why I think there is an unbalance about lux . You can all judge if this unbalance needs to be addressed.
I also said that I think the remaining of the map is, I think, balanced.

Personally I still think excluding that excluding lux trade is the best way for all of you to go. But I'm only the mapmaker, not the referee.

Thats what I meant. Since it is just a very tiny change in rules and you recommend it I am a bit surprised nobody wants to go that route. But anyhow, lets see how it works out. Maybe my judgement on the advantage lux will give is wrong.

I don't really see how banning lux trades would help anything, to be honest.

Me neither, actually. That still would leave some players with more luxuries than others, hence the problem remains.

However, is it really a problem? Must the map be completely balanced? Because if you feel this should be, then you made a mistake before you started this game. Then you should've started this debate before the start of the game and you should've told the mapmaker to balance everything.

I don't really find it to be an issue, but I've always though the point of having a map maker was to make sure the map was balanced, so when the map maker said it was unbalanced I was a bit confused.

Banning (excess) luxury trade is something with a minor effect on the game, but it does help making the situation worse than it is. It doesn't really hurt the game either, so I'm for it.

With the ammount of turns you have been missing no luxury resources trade will help you

I'm with barbu (as AFAICS he is the only one who is able to make a statement on knowing enough facts): Ban luxury trades. But I don't mind if it stays allowed either.
