Map Setting Finalization: Continentality

Locutus · November 8, 2002, 10:01

Time to decide on the map settings. See this thread for more introduction crap

See the Continentality poll, distribution of votes:
4: 5
7: 5
8: 4
9: 2
10: 3

So 74% voted for 7-10. Median is 7 but close to 8 (1 more 8+ vote required to make it 7.5). 8 has the highest number of 'neighbouring votes'. This is a tricky one as strictly speaking 7 might on basis of median but but an overwhelming majority voted for a high value, so the votes for 4 are not representative for the majority, making 8 a better choice. Fortunately, if 8 is rejected in this poll, we would have no alternative but to hold a poll with only 4 and 7 as options (with probably an predictable outcome).

Locutus, same as in the other thread, wrong link

Uhm, little late, aren't you? I fixed that link 20 minutes ago... or are you talking about something else (if so, could you be more specific)?

Eight is the best option for sure!

If I remember correctly even on the low levels of continentality you get huge continents and in order to have a certain rhole of the naval aspect of the game I have to reject here.

Though, I'd like to have naval warfare... we know that that won't happen, so 8 will work.
