Yep, I also wish I could play Arabia style map with green terrain. I don’t play any map with sand or snow because the environments are mostly uninteresting to me, and/or usually too bright.
Having to use a “no snow” mod just to avoid snow maps, or “dark terrain” mod, is very not preferred.
I never, ever want to play snow maps, so as soon as one starts, I quit right away and try, try again.
Being able to 100% avoid Nomad maps would be nice, too, since I hate those unless and until I want to play one. Why do some maps force Nomad and temporary treaty upon us? Some maps auto-give us some buildings, too. I think I’ve played one where we get a mill at the start?
Would like to choose which main animals appear on map, too, as the water buffalo are annoying to listen to.
And why can’t we click a button in the SP lobby to force AI to “not” resign? You play 1,000 single-player games and don’t want the AI to quit at the drop of a hat? You have to remember for all 1,000 games to stop what you’re doing mid-match in all 1,000 games to do the 104 chat and hope it works (flip a coin)
