In lt12 we used 20000-tiled square map, which gives you size of 141*141. 180*90 is 16200, combined with the fact that more "bigger" shapes can be squeezed into square than into rectangular ( as square is more coherent ), it may not be big enough in my opinion for standard 30 players, and maho stated more than once, that we won't play less populated games for obvious reason, that the biggest possible number of players should be given possibility of playing not so frequently started LT games.
Ok, I've seen this map - it is Earth, just 30% of land, like the good old original :D. Maybe bit more, due to cylindrical mapping. But, still, it is smaller map with even smaller landmass. So 30 people game is imho out of option even if we plan a crowdy game. This would be pure overcrowding :)
But, maybe we could use Europe scenario? It is 200x100, and the terrain east of neck formed by line from Danish straits to Venice is basically just one big land block of mother Russia :) On the other hand, this scenario contains large fields of pure desert and mountain chains that really deserve that name. Is it possible to change the terrain type by somehow rerandomizing it or inflicting alltemperate scheme?
there is plenty of space for all in this map.. i just ran a test. the only thing that needs to be fixed are the startpositions to make everyone start in a fair spot, with if possible flags that coorelate to the map positions...

I've not voted yet. Question about that map : its size.
Is 180*90 big enough for 30 (or 25) players ?
The player who starts in GB won't be very happy.
It could be something interesting to play with lack of free space (early wars for land ?).
Did this happened in some previous LT ?
