Whew, thanks. I never played that map either but after looking at it I agree that it is way too small. Personally I like the idea of something that would average 20-25 lands per player.

I don't have any good MP map suggestions, but I'm game for whatever. Big is good, as far as that goes.

Whoa... while this is my first multiplayer game, I did make sure to read a veteran's warning for newer players:

Gameplay tips
- New players will often start on maps far too big. Play on a map with at most 15 provinces per nation. This is a normal size.

Technically, Glory of the Gods is already "too big", with ~16 provinces per land player. Also, how are wastes and swamps "useless"? They have the most sites! Going to a bigger map frankly makes me uncomfortable, as I'm already concerned about potential micromanagement hell that will occur once I inevitably dominate half the map.
