World Size and Ocean percentage

MrWhereItsAt · March 25, 2003, 21:58

Since the results of the current polls will not affect this (unless we decide to play with a mod, which isn't looking likely), I thought I should keep the ball rolling and start the following poll. Please vote twice - once for each separate issue

A. Which size world should we have?

Tiny
Small
Standard
Large
Huge
Custom (eg bigger than huge!)
Abstain/no preference

B.What Percentage of Ocean should we have?

80%
70%
60%
Abstain/no preference

Larger than huge.

Like 362 X 362.

I would prefer a "larger than Huge" map, but just incase that option didn't win, I picked huge.

As for water coverage, isn't Random an option? That is what I would want. Otherwise... banana.

Hmm. I'm not sure if random is an option or not. I'll have to look when I finish work.

at least Large, 70%.

Huge, 70%

There should be a part C: Archipelago, Continents, or Pangeaa. It goes with the water percentage! You can make both random or choose both, but not make one random but chose the other.

civman is right. Ill get to getting a more accurate poll up later if no one else does.

This one will still work for world size, though.

Huge, 80% and landmass I would like to see islands.

Lets learn a bit about amphibious warfair.

Vikings anybody?

2. Mostly ocean to increase value of having a navy.

1. Standard: So the DM doesn't have so much work to do.

I hope all of you huge or larger-than-huge advocates are ready to volunteer as RGs.

I vote large.

mjmacy · March 26, 2003, 20:12

large 80%. I like the Viking Idea, an I'm a big fan of a large navy

Hot_Enamel · March 27, 2003, 03:47

Huge Map.

And Random Water Coverage.
(Although I think I voted 70% - So Manually change the vote if possible)

I vote large.

I think I am the only one to vote for Larger than Huge so far, and my record for volunteering as a RG I think is unquestioned.

Land Shape: Archepello; to maximize the difference in shapes between the first Democracy game and the second.

Yes, I realized that after I posted. I don't mean to question you; I mean to question those who AREN'T going to RG or otherwise help out with government but would/did vote Huge anyway.

Archipelago, or pangaea. I agree with joncnunn. Something different.

I like pangaea because there will be nore early game contact and involvement with more civs. Makes the FA side of the game more interesting.

The archipelago game should make the naval side more interesting. Playing England would be interesting in this scenario. But maybe an unfair adavantage - they start the closest to map making of any civ in the game. Two techs and they are there.
