Map creation

[Killed]

Who thought that creating a map and start a new game needs to be that annoying like it is right now?
Like:
Why does the map generator preview not only show the actual buildable area but consits of about 50% unusable 'edge'?
Why can we unlock all territories but than can't place the towncenter anywhere we want?
Why isn't the useable area of the map highlighted while placing the towncenter?
And since all that above leads to endless restarts in the quest for the perfect map... why can't we save our game options, banner, names and such as a preset?

I spent the last hour or so trying to find a nice map but everytime got fooled by either that 'perfect hill to place a castle on' was out of the useable area or I couldn't place my towncenter anywhere near the desired spot for it. That honestly got me so frustrated that I simply quit

Good points, well made. I have been thinking the exact same things myself. I have generated numerous excellent looking maps, only to find that I can't build anywhere near the area that I want to. Maybe the whole map could be broken up into hexagons and you can choose any one you like? I have also noticed that you always get at least two lakes now, even with the slider all the way down. It would also be nice if the maps were a little bit bigger in size.
