Common multiplayer settings
Map size
In normal multiplayer games, map size increases with the number of players, and may also be bigger for islands games.
Typical sizes for land-map games.
- 2 players - tiny, small, sometimes medium
- 3-4 players - small, medium
- 5-6 players - medium
- 7-8 players - medium or large
The actual size used for those numbers of players may depend on the setting, rules, and/or the game itself (EE or AoC).
On AoC, some players may prefer to use medium for 1v1 or 2v2 games, while on EE small is the standard. Medium is a fairly unanimous standard for 3v3 games. On AoC, 4v4 games almost exclusively use large, whereas on EE, medium is most commonly used while some settings traditionally use large.
Single age SH/TL/DM
SH/TL/DM refer to the Resource setting as Standard - High, Tournament - Low, and Deathmatch respectively. Referring to such a settings talks almost exclusively about games on the Plains map type. When players talk about islands games, they specify it. For example, "Mod DM" is Plains, and "Mod DM Islands" is played mostly on Tournament Islands, but sometimes on Large Islands or Small Islands and players are given 20 starting citizens.
For SH games, all players get 20 starting citizens, while TL and DM remain at the default 5 starting citizens.
