Land Mass : Run off
Since continents had a greatest total number of votes than Random when agregated (added together. But Random had the greatest number of votes total. It seems best to hold a run off between the highest total continents and Random.

The poll will expire on Sunday around Noon. And before you whine the game couldn't start til then anyway.

Continents with the most landmass of course' who wants to live in an archipelago.

Anyways- It would make for a much longer game with an easier to control nation... although if you like sea, I would suggest a vote for random

I agree with DarkCloud. Continents, 60% water is fun. But let them not split the continent supporters again. I voted for continents, 70%.

Voted for continents with 80% water first time, but I changed my mind and voted random this time, as I usually play continents with 70% water myself, and something different will be interesting

You want to play [fill in the blank, with Zulu maybe] on Archipelago? I thought most of you hated navies.

Navies are useless,

especially if your enemies barracade their islands by fortifying all the water-bordering land (A good strategy I devised )

My favorite, after Marla's world map, is the supermassive pangea, which is no longer an option, so i went for random.

Continents.

It would not be fun to start on an island with room for two cities.

What is it to complain about here? I love all types of maps, the types of maps I love the most, is the types of map I play more seldom...

Random, let the AI surprise us

This will also mean an increased challenge for our ministers as the strategy they are thinking about now might not work on our lands once we discover them.

Age and climate has already been determined... 4 billion years, mild and temperate. Can't do much about that now, but at least the land may be random.
