[.86] Too many mountains?

from Elemental Forums

On every map I have seen (I always play the largest available) there are always too many mountains and they are too close together.

It makes it difficult to see some of your cities without rotating the map.

 

Also, has anyone else noticed the map snapping back to the original orientation when rotating the map? This is very annoying.

I find the map snapping back to that position to be very annoying also.  You can change the type of map generated, maybe if you try a different type it will be less mountains?  I love the mountains, so I choose a "Mountainous" map.

The "snapping back" can by turned off in the options...

I didn't even know that was an option. I guess I should look more closely at the game setup screen!

I also like the mountainous choke-points so have been only playing 'Mountainous' maps lately. :)

Mountainous is the best map generator IMO.

Choke points are rather good.

 

Been using the remove mountain spell to create some choke points. Really cool indeed.
