The server settings for LT37 (may require tweaking)

landmass 50, specials 220, wetness 50, startunits 4xsettler, 6x worker, 1x explorer. Also sciencebox 60.

What this means is that there are slightly less tiles / player. The deserts are smaller so that starting on one shouldn't be that bad.

There are no more 6x settlers but only 4 in the start. However there are 6 workers so that you can speed up the early game and focus more on buildings or military units.

Sciencebox 60 means that the technologies cost 60% of the normal. This is to compensate the smaller map.

Any opinions if the cost of a settler should be 2 instead of 3? I guess we could return to 2 but if someone has a good idea about why not, we can also keep 3.

The maps with these settings look really nice with 2.5.

LT36 had more than 700 tiles / player but the usual setting for most games has been 450. The current settings are 400 tiles / player. The idea is to have a slightly smaller game where the players can't build huge empires just by grabbing all the free land as fast as possible.

Thanks for the feedback.
