"One Per Team" – Creates one "fair" continent per team and puts all team members there.The more civs playing, the more likely to be given a higher number.

Oceanic Map: 84 plots wide, 52 plots tall, at "Standard" map size Custom Continents Resources within four plots of their starting location.

Map Settings – Technical Info – Listed Alphabetically After that, a more general set of descriptions and recommendations. What follows ia a list of all settings for each map and what they do. We welcome them, but refer you to any documentation accompanying them (written by the map’s author(s)) for information about them. We are not responsible for user-made maps.A couple of maps (noted below) are larger or smaller than normal and break even this trend. All-land maps can squeeze cities in to every nook and corner, so their map dimensions are smaller. We have aimed at keeping the number of viable cities even from map to map, but on oceanic maps, a large portion of the map is water and more or less lost to use. The map sizes are not uniform from one map script to the next.For multiplayer, however, if you want specific results, we recommend taking the time to familiarize yourself with the maps and settings so that you understand what to expect when you play. In single player, it should be OK to try any map on any settings and play it blind.The featured maps will show you graphics of what to expect if you choose Play Now.This will also help you to better understand what the options actually do (by being able to compare alternative settings against the default.) These are intended to give the best overall experience. We recommend you try a map on its default settings first.This document is intended to help guide you. In this case, the cost is that there are so many options, you almost need a guide to help you find the map situations that appeal to you, especially for multiplayer. However, everything good also comes at a cost.
Civilization IV brings you an unprecedented selection of map options.
