Smack talk goes here for 8 Corners of the World - FFA - BBG - 36hr timer! Game URL: 8 Corners of the World - FFA - BBG - 36hr timer | Civilization 6 | Play Your Damn Turn
I have edited the game details with some info about citystates, feel free to read and comment if you disagree with something!
More info on the map soon once I spend a bit of time testing.
looking good to me.
Kupe should be auto-ban as well, right?
Maori (in BBG) don’t enter Oceans earlier than usual anymore. They get better embarked speed / Settlers can embark at Sailing instead of Shipbuilding, but nothing Ocean-specific.
Not gonna lie I’m struggling to generate the map, it was much easier with 4 players. I might have to downgrade the game to 7 players - That is because there is a setting that lets you generate exactly a number of continents but it goes no higher than 7.
ah ok thank you didn’t realize that Maori had that change in BBG
I’ve switched the game to 7 players since I was struggling to generate more than 7 balanced continents with the mapscript - and the 8th spot was empty still.

Only comment would be the City States would be unevenly distributed if you have 12 between 7 continents? Might mean different people have different amounts of land to work with on their starting continent. I guess even if you put 14 in you can’t guarantee there would be 2 CS each?
Yeah, I’ve thought about that. In the 4-players map the CS came out with a beautiful, balanced spread, but I’m struggling rn because the 7 continents are huge, very square-y and leave very little empty room in the rest of the map (where the other citystates could go)
I think I’m on the right path.
Too much desert (easily fixed).
Continents are still VERY blocky but at least they have some cool shapes to them.
The “citystate resort park” is unfortunately closer to some players than others… I don’t think there’s an elegant fix to it, either I remove all the “Extras” that aren’t the 7 continents (shame!), or I reduce citystates to 7.
There’s a LOT of space but tbh since barbs will be off, that only means you can choose what you actually want to settle - and what to steal off others.
This was kinda a desperate attempt with a lot of random settings so I’ll probably not keep everything (e.g you can notice there’s almost no tundra and beyond)
There is potential here. (The Top-Right continent does have a player, it’s just that the stupid AI still hasnt settled on turn 3).
I am worried about the balance of natural wonders - I spawned in sight distance of one, and 2 players seem to not have any in their continent. I’ll see if I can increase their amount.
I think 14 CS and 0 blues is the way to go (you can see 2 blues here but that’s because I quickly added 2 CS without caring about which)

If it isn’t too much trouble, could you please keep some of these maps? (Or, maybe it’s a process something I can learn to do myself?) There seems to be a group of PYDT players that like some cooperative games. I’m trying to think of some coop ideas with these maps you are making, and maybe some of the “throwaways” that don’t work here could be used for such games.
it’s a lot of options to chew through but the tooltips are detailed enough to understand with enough reading

A fairly balanced alternative where no player meets CS before Cartography and have much less room to expand till then (and with less CS in general)
this one would be advantageous for a civ that spawned near an unoccupied island. given that, the other one might be better? ultimately both of these look fine though.
The channel for the game. This is only the channel, as I cannot invite to the Server (“Civ6 Cloud & PYDT Games”). You can probably ask for an invite in the standard PYDT discord if needed.
I’ll try to produce a map by tomorrow
Draft was done by the CPL bot. You can find it here if needed: Discord
But I’ll post it in image form.
Players’ turn order has been reordered (according to playtimes), so that means Player 1 is me, 2 is Catalpa, 3 is Slane, 4 is OtherRealisms, so on.
Please pick your leader ASAP - the game will be on a 36hr timer so there’s no reason for you to need much more time than this!
I’ll play Ethiopia.
Remember: Ocean separates all players, everyone will have 1 fairly blocky continent with a lot of land but a fairly high % of “bad” land (Tundra, Desert). Navies will be important but you’ll have some land to sim too!
Your continent will be guaranteed 2 citystates, I’ll update the list of citystates (the original post isnt up to date)
i pick Indonesia
I’ll go with Hungary
I pick Tokugawa
