The unique word setup may be interesting for many players. There are many possible setups. However, we not getting all info. Word is not only about FA or morale, but there are also other factors. Lakes is one of them, stronger POI is second and there is also information that most of players are omitting is a map size.
I saw maps with radius 200,300,330,400,450,500,550. They may be more, however I never saw this information as part of world announcement, so only after word start it can be checked.
For example, the biggest problem with Firestorm 17 was map size, 200, morale and lvl 80(unexpected) makes it extremely hard to start, later it may be compensated by stronger POI, anyway players didn’t get all information before the start of the server.
Map size 550, morale, stronger POI and lvl 80 would be much easier due to steady increase of base levels in close proximity, that means less complains and more possibility for diggers to prove themselves. Smaller words induct less terrain and promotes pvp players or allows for quicker research. One detail and can change world completely despite morale of FA.
On the other hand, Firestorm 16, level 65, map 200, with stronger POI and FA was very quick. Knowing more variables before server start helps with making choices, planning ahead and that may reduce discontent.
There will be new world soon, please reveal map size for it, or is it a random selected number, that also would be info.
