I would be interested in having spies on for a change, haven't tried playing with them yet. Corporations too, is it correct that they'll be less powerful on a smaller map? Other map requests (don't mean to tell you what to do, and don't mind at all if you don't use them):
- Known map (I know this was only done in 34s because the map was being reused, but I think it would be interesting to try)
- Starting screenshot before snakepick
- 1 marble and 1 stone (or 2 + 2, depending on what is possible on the map), breeding natural conflicts and not nerfing IND too hard
- Non-mirrored resources, example: P1 has 2 corn + 2 bananas + 1 GH silver, P2 has 2 rice + 2 deer + 1 grassland gold, etc. Makes conquest even more appealing by supplementing your resources. Won't be possible to balance them out entirely, but I think it would be close enough. Also makes health more of a concern if you get multiples of the same resource, in most games I see players never care about health until well past t100.

A known map feels too much like a stunt to me - it removes a large part of the early game.
24x24 toroidal is going to be quite tight, so having some resource swaps could be worthwhile and give a wider resource spread. Mapmaker's discretion there.
I expect the game to be pretty much decided once corporations come into play.
I think I'd prefer spies banned.
Neutral on starting screenshot.

Spies being banned is probably a good idea, if you want a ridiculous map hack there's always Physics.  I will say though, from 34s experience...health does already matter in this tight setup, given how vertical you tend to go early. I can put up the starting SS before or after snake pick, up to you guys.

I'm neutral on the starting positions being shown.
I think spies being off makes sense.
One thing I would like to know (and if you don't want to tell us, that's ok) - is it going to be like 34, where there is no salt water (thus, no lighthouses, harbors, Collosus, Lighthouse, navy)?

Correct, no salt water.

I think we have a ban on spies.
I dunno about starting screen shot - I think 2 are neutral, the others haven't weighed in yet.

I'm fine with spies banned. Corporations? I voted in favour of starting screenshot.

ok - so we have 1 for and 2 neutral for a starting screenshot. I'll change my vote for one
corporations should probably be banned, though I doubt we get to corps.

No banned leaders/civs? Agree with Corp bans. Is the AP banned?
Don't really have a strong opinion on starting screenshot either way.
More people have been to Berlin than I have.

Agree with no leader/civ bans, seems there's sufficient uncertainty about which are best.
