What are your favourite map settings?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hey, everything is said. What are your favourite map settings and why? What should be avoided?  What's better for medium, large, huge?

i.e.: what settings should I try next ;-) ?

I prefer:

Small Map
9 Major Races
8 Minor races
Abundant = EVERYTHING

Blind Explore = ON
Mega Events = OFF
Tech Trading = ON
Super Abilities = OFF

Victory Conditions = All ON

Recently I have been setting the Races and difficulty levels at random. It makes for a very interesting and unpredictable game.
I prefer Small maps because I can usually knock it out in a weekend. Plus, I really dont like all the 'management' time it takes as the maps get bigger. I tried an immense map once, but got bored with it after a couple of weeks.

My favorite is:

Medium map
9 majors
0 minors
abundant everything
scattered stars
very slow tech
only conquest win allowed
disabled tech trading & stealing
Mega events/super abilities on
blind exploration off

I may switch it up and go to a Large map sometimes if I want a longer game. Medium map games are often a 1-2 day casual playing time, large is at least a weekend of fun.
