New map, and boredom

Playing in Pacifist mode should be disabled unless it’s done in conjunction with a tutorial, it’s as boring as ****! 23 turns to reach T4, please.

Highlands and Alpine Valley need to have fewer minerals all over the map, and only the Scots could make a go of it. I suggest a new map based on reality, where the town is situated in a single valley with high hills around it, a stream or long lake defining one side. In fact only have a single deep mine, which is the basis for the towns economy, and is available from the beginning. Everything else to make stuff will need to be imported, farms on the flatland near the water are very fertile. I would call it Glacier Valley and new name or not it would replace Alpine Valley.

You have to choose Pacifist in the Custom Settings otherwise by default you’re non-Pacifist. And the new Custom Settings will allow you to change what spawns on your maps.

Could also try this map and see how you get on.

I play both passive and non-passive modes of the game and really enjoy both, for very different reasons. In addition, since buying into the EA here, I’ve intro’d the game to several online friends who also enjoy both, each having a different expectation for their game play. I love that FF caters to both, and can’t wait to test out all the new stuff in 9.6.

I wouldn’t want Alpine to get replaced, because it’s very similar to my environment IRL, and I also enjoy the challenges presented by that biome in FF.
