It's anything but balanced! I think I'm just going to go Kamikaze on someone's ass, better than a slow death...

Come on guys, you didn't pay anyone for this map, and there's no cash prize at the end. I'm sure barbu might tell you guys to stick it should you ever need another map maker.

+3.

Having said that imvho it might be helpful to have a mapmaking checklist for future maps going to be made.

I suppose a lesson should have been learned when I messed up the last one. When I fixed that map I had someone else double check it.

EDIT: Agree with Beam. Double checking would still be a good idea, but something might still be overlooked. A checklist plus a double checker would probably be ideal.

Nah, I doubt it's that bad

But I agree with the sentiment. It's not as if the previous maps were balanced, and those were fun enough. Let's just get over it and say we'll do a boring mirrored map next time.

I'm getting a CTD when I try to join the game.

EDIT: Seems to have fixed itself.

I'm not so sure. If we want balanced maps, we can simply give each player exactly the same peninsula. As a bonus, I guess it would take less time to make such a map.

However, the point of civ is that there is some disbalance. The game is not just about doing the right things, but merely about doing the right things, given your specific circumstances.

And is there is too much disbalance? So what? I'll quote myself:
