This is something that has bugged me with Freeciv for a long time, but thought only now to ask, as I recently got active again to play the game.
Don't you think maps created by generator are, well, bad in gameplay perspective?
I've tried multiple ways to make it create decent game maps, but it never makes enough oceans and continent's are way too small.
It's just bizarre you can usually explore the whole planet with a trireme, eg without going to deep ocean. And the amount of deep ocean is general is minuscule, you end up on next island or continent within coupple of turns.
Realistic maps, with 3-12 continents, buch of random Islands and large oceans seem impossible to create with it? Best approximations would be to give each nation own island (which is bad) or put everyone on same continent (which is also not good).
