Continents/Islands

[sal]

First of all, I have played about 200 turns in and really like this game already. There obviously needs to be some balancing and tweaking before full release but it's already a great game.

I have a question about the islands and other factions. Will every game have the same kind of archepelago map, with specific islands for specific species? I like it, but suspect that after a few games I might want to explore different sorts of maps and starting experiences, such as not always having the Slavyans and associated quests as my first NPC interaction, or playing a game with larger landmasses that have multiple races and factions on.

Is there a plan to have different world types in the initial settings? Just curious, either way I love it so far.

It does seem that the archipelago style of map is how the game is going to be. It's part of the story as why this is so.
