What's the best Map?

[AlbaHIbernia]

I enjoy true start location Earth but it's defo not balanced. African nations end up excelling due to large population sizes while Naval starts like England/Scotland suffer with lack of land/Pop

Which is ironic considering the Brittish isles geograpically are a lot more fertile than central Africa.

There's defo a lack of map choice in game/ Or maybe i just don't know which is the best.

Does anyone have any reccomendations for a good map like Earth?

(Meaning does a certain map type generate a similar landmass.)

Continents in Civ 5 where pretty lacking.

TSL Earth is broken in R&F. It's simply too small to handle the loyalty mechanics.

In fact, even in ginormous maps the game can hardly handle, Loyalty turns Europe into a mess (if you play Europeans...of which there are too many in Civ VI so chances are you will).

In fact I am playing an insane game on The Ancient World RN -> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1201247503
(FYI IDK if anyone has a machine powerful enough to play the 199x198 map. So perhaps start with Oceania or The New World).

Yes that's really sad. All these cool factions and you're better of not randomising it and just placing 1-2 faction per continent...

That map looks quite cool will try it out.

I really like the Arcapelago map that comes with R&F. I edited "low" sea level to be -6 , that generates a real nice balance between land and sea. There's enough of all kinds of terain so that all the civs special units are useful.

Only problem is there's to much ice/snow even on a Hot climate map. Anyone now how I can reduce that?

Well I found the fix for ice.

The brittish isles are quite small. Compared with regions of africa. So yes, regions of africa are combarable, in size. but to compare brit isles with the continent are a bit off.

I wasn't northen Africa was not a weak starting position geography wise. Central Africa however is very uninhabitable poor farming conditions etc.

Now i'm not expecting them to get the geography perfect. But it's annoying when Island nations are severely nerfed but central african nations excel.

Everytime Kongo starts in TSL Earth they dominate because of massive city pops.

For a location that in the real world struggles with food it annoys me Britain/Japans start sucks so bad.


But as somebody above said Europe in general in R&F is a pretty poor start position. Which again historically triggers me greatly. ^^

China,U.S,Europe should be the strongest start positions in TSL.

My favorite is fractal. Imo it creates the most "earthlike" maps that aren't actually based on earth if that makes sense.

I find true start earth maps boring because there's nothing to discover/ explore

for me Pangaea continent, at least nobody can hide or be safe because water :^)
