+1 for wizzla, that way we could start on a cool perfect map.
"We've even written the algorithm so that it won't touch the 5 squares around any currently settled square, so you won't suddenly find yourself beset by threatening glaciers or volcanic lava flows - and will have room to expand in your neck of the woods."GM Stormcrow
by the way, when you say that 5 tiles around us are untouched, do you mean a 5 by 5 square centered on each city or a 10 by 10 square (5 in each direction)...? (whichever it is, I think it is too large and that it will stop the map from looking really good.)
"There are a few players who have settled out in the back of beyond - as far from the center as possible - and we're making sure that they will be attached to the mainland rather than floating out on an Island in the middle of the sea."GM Stormcrow
also, Why connect far away people to the main continent?
why not just make them on the coast line of their Island? they would get the first developed harbour once those get implemented.
or why not just leave them on their island? they would be safer once we cann't travel throught water without boat...
