Lakes Regional Map: No world wrap Land-Heavy Map: 52 plots wide, 32 plots tall, at "Standard" map size Sea Level: "Sea Level" setting will slightly increase or decrease the lake sizes

Maze Global Map: World Wrap left to right Nonstandard-Size Map: 56 plots wide, 32 plots talls, at "Standard" map size Nonstandard-Variance: "Tiny" map size is very wide. Grid sizes are unusual across the board. Reduced Peaks: Peaks will only appear inland, never along the coast MAZE WIDTH - Choose the width of both land and water "segments" Random - Randomly picks one of the options. 1 Plot Wide 2 Plots Wide 3 Plots Wide - DEFAULT 4 Plots Wide 5 Plots Wide

Mirror Regional Map: No world wrap Land-Heavy Map: 52 plots wide, 32 plots tall, at "Standard" map size Mirrored Terrain: Half a map is created, then mirrorized to the other half. Land-or-Sea: "Small Lakes" option is a land-heavy option. The others are not! Reduced Peaks: No peaks along the coast for the Oceanic settings. Fair Starts: If you are playing two teams with balanced number of players, starts on one side will be an exact reflection of starts on the other. Continental Starts: All but Archipelago and Tiny Islands, civs start on the mainland(s). MIRROR TYPE - Choose the manner in which the terrain will be "mirrorized". Random - Randomly picks one of the options. Reflection - DEFAULT - "X Coordinate" flipping of terrain data. Inversion - "X Coordinate" and also "Y Coordinate" flipping of terrain data. Copy - No flipping. An exact copy of one half is produced on the other half. Opposite - "Y Coordinate" flipping of terrain data. TEAM SETTING - When playing a team game, choose where teammates will start. Start Together - DEFAULT For two teams, teammates will start in the same half. For three teams, each team gets a "quarter" of the map and starts there. One quarter of the map will be left empty! For four teams, each team gets a quarter of the map. For five or more teams, starts will be scattered, teammates grouped. Start Separated For two teams, every other teammate will be put on the opposite half! For three or four teams, each teammate is put in different "quarter". For five or more teams, starts will be scattered randomly. Start Anywhere - For all team counts, starts are scattered and anybody can be anywhere! LANDMASS TYPE - Choose the type of land you want to play on. Small Lakes - DEFAULT - Land-heavy, just like a "Lakes" map would be. Wide Continents - Oceanic, puts a mini-pangaea on each half of the map. Snaky Continents - Oceanic, puts a continent with snaky arms on each half. Archipelago - Oceanic, puts archipelago-style islands on each side. Tiny Islands - Oceanic, puts archipelago-style TINY islands on each side. Varied - "Weighted Random" - 50% Small Lakes, and 50% some type of Oceanic.

Oasis Regional Map: No world wrap Land-Heavy Map: 52 plots wide, 32 plots tall, at "Standard" map size Neutral Zone: Nobody ever starts in the desert region in the middle of the map. Teams Alternate: Lowest team number starts in the south, next in the north, etc. Assymetrical: The south gets more arable land but fewer resources. Nile-Style Rivers: There are always four rivers, running randomly from south to north. Resources Anywhere: Cow, Coal, Copper, Uranium Southern Resources: Dye, Fur, Gems, Silk (rare!), Sugar, Banana, Deer, Pig, Rice Northern Resources: Horses, Marble, Fur, Silver, Spices, Wine, Sheep, Wheat, and seafoods. Oasis-Region: Aluminum, Corn (abundant!), Iron, Oil, Stone, Gold, Incense, Ivory In Single Player: You will always start in the south, unless you use the Advanced options and swap your team number with the first AI listed (or similar action).
