	a little bored.... Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I'm playing as the Mayans on a Wet 4 BYO Temperate Continent map. Quite a few volcanoes, so I went to Google, found this link , and named the volcanoes and mountains after Mayan gods.

I need to find another hobby....

Cool. To bad you can't actually do this while in the game though. I would be nice to be able to name terrain features within your cutural boundries (lakes, rivers, bays, mountians, valleys, etc).

Don't fool yourself Uber, he probably just has fewer civs.

Well, you could do this in SMAC. Any example of why Firaxis are the Gods of Game Regression.

Looks like a great idea however I don't like the white background to the lettering. Too bad it isn't transparent.

Tried, but it was difficult to read over the terrain

Yup, I play Huge, 60% water with never more than 4 AI players so I can spread out and build without bumping into 'em.

I used to like to play huge game maps. I'm still interested in these, but I went on a binge of playing my last 10 or so epic games ptw/c3c on standard maps and i've been hooked with the format.

It has the right amount of civs to make things interesting, although in some cases, it comes down from 8 to 3 or 4 superpowers by midgame as civs are whittled down and defeated. Also games don't drag too long. My games generally end (usually by diplo or space race) in the 12 to 14 hour mark.

However, There is something to be said for the supermassive pangea games on huge maps where you still have 16 to 24 civs to start out and lots of players by the early late game and the intrigue and political machinations of it all is quite interesting. Alliances and counterallaicnes etc.

And it gets quite bad when all of them turn out against you, by some surprising turn of table or odd chance... The hordes approaching... And my border cities with their warrior defenders... Not a good picture
