Standard, though if we turn out to want more AI civs, go to Large. (If no AI civs, go to Small, IMHO.)

Stupid Firaxis (I think...)... I can't get more than 8 civs into the game (including AI's), even on huge maps

Anyone find a way around that?

Nope, unfortunately, there's absolutely no way to get more than 8 players in any kind of MP game.

4 human civs? Small with 4 AI would be cozy.

No AI? Tiny.

I am perfectly willing to die by the sword, btw.

Tiny I think would almost be too small. Small would be perfect. We could play a quick game and learn a considerable amount.

We must remember that we are all going to be on the same side come time for the multi-site game. Fast and educational. Who cares who wins so long as we kick the crap out of the other sites later!

Nope... sorry GK. Bigger does not mean more AI. by the other polls, its looking like 4 teams and 4 AI no matter what size we play on.

Standard map in SP is the one that allows 8 civs of whatever type. I would prefer that this team challenge not go on forever before contact is made and everyone starts to lock horns. Afterall, there is the multisite game to think about eventually.

If anything this game starting soon will definetely be a learning curve for all of us, and then once the United Nations and the rest of the civ-sites get on board, then we can have a huge game that could be very challenging...

Tired of ads?

Should there be a run off for this one? THe "huge people" are likely to prefer large over standard. (of course the "small people" are likely to prefer standard over a larger map)

note: I'm for standard, just trying to be fair

(well unless we pick an expan. team, in which case HUGE )

Standard. It is fast paced, but still leaves enough room for the game not to end when someone has swordsmen.

I voted small. Small will be a quick game where we learn a lot about how we play multiplayer, and then we can get the multisite started faster.

Dont worry Spiffor, with the best of Apolyton going against the best of Apolyton we probably won't get done before Modern Armor, much much less swordsman!

It seems we won't have a very clear majority... Should we have a runoff featuring the 2 options with the most votes ?
(I support the idea, because I think we're sure a 50% majority leaves less people frustrated behind)

If we have a 2nd round between standard and small, I guess standard will obvioulsy win as a lot of people choosed huge or large, but no one choosed tiny.

He's right. In a runoff, chances are very very slim that small would win.
