Thanks for the responses. I'm finding large maps with common galaxies/habitable planets, 4-5 random opponents, random minor civs to suit my style. Have moved up to masochist difficulty and hoping to keep improving!
Anyone else got views?
Hi I just recently bought the ultimate edition. I was wondering what are considered 'standard' map and game settings, on which medium to good players generally compare each other, and which form the basis of general strategy discussions? For example, in Civ4, the 'standard' settings would be a medium sized map or up, with default number of civilizations, on continents, fractal, bigs & smalls or bigs O& mediums, on normal or epic speed.
