Serdoa has offered to make the map so we will play on that. This is an idea of map:
1) Several continents, no one isolated.
2) Non-mirrored starts.
3) Due to 2: Balanced but I can't guarantee that one does not feel that the grass on the other pasture is greener.
3.1) Balanced meaning equal number of happy (but not necessarily the same), close approx. of one of copper, horse or iron - stone and marble completely random via random.org giving me a tile-number to put it and it be put on the nearest land-tile.
3.2) Check to have late game strategic resources available, but not necessarily next to your capital.
4) NO pre-placed improvements or similar stuff.
5) Relatively natural looking though I reserve the right that not all of the map will, if it is necessary for balance or simply makes for a more interesting (read strategic) game.
6) Circum-nav available.

"Map Size: Large
Difficulty: Prince (Toroid therefore I assumed a little lower would be better)

Also there is no Marble/Stone at all. As that's unusual I think its just fair to tell you."

You'd have to give me your twitter or facebook for that apparently

[Azza]

If you're after a dedlurker, I'd be happy to occasionally chime in with ideas.

[wetbandit]

Is it sad that I just created a (another) spoof twitter account? @tvswetbandit

Welcome aboard Azza! I can't promise much in the way of pictorial updates right now as I'm playing everything on my old laptop which makes turns painful enough as it is to play. I will hopefully have something more functional in the next few weeks.

[wetbandit]

And FWIW, I'm listening to Children Collide, even right now, thanks to your PB7 thread Azza. Much better to not lurk.

[Azza]

Good to hear that my PB7 thread was good for something!

[BRickAstley]

You haven't done a Home Alone naming theme yet have you? You the Wetbandit, you have to have a Home Alone theme at some point.

[wetbandit]

Have you ever reported with Rickrolling in mind?

Also, what the hell can people possibly be talking about in their threads? Crazy amount of activity so far.

I should next time I play.

They're planning how to take you out. You specifically. Just you.

[wetbandit]

I hope they all spend time talking about me and follow me. (@tvswetbandit)

Otherwise, I should have remembered that Standard Operating Procedure is:

1. Inflate post count
2. Yell at Admins/Mapmaker
3. Talk about how crappy/awesome your competition is (guess which adjective applies to me)

The apparent fourth option for this game is to complain about everyone else's jerkitude.
