LTXIV definitally showed that banning caravans makes a huge impact on the game, mostly a positive one in my opinion. But some players like caravan trade as a peaceful way to develop themselves.

I suggest we change the landmass setting. it configures the percentage of the map that is land

The default for freeciv is 30.
Recent longturn games have used the value 50.

I'm not sure this goes for everyone, but I think there's a severe lack of land on the LT7 map. The combination of landmass=35 and citymindistance=5 mean there's only place for a couple cities per player. I hope we'll have more landmass next time, otherwise such a citymindistance really makes it impossible to grow. Or the mapsize must be increased further next time, but that may be hard on the server.

FAILED:

- Neverending LT - 8 against 4 pro

PASSED:
- Diplomacy by embassy - 9 vs 7

OTHER:
- Poll duration - result: 1 week (9 votes, more than 50% of electors)
- LT7 landmass - this voting didn't passed yet, but I don't want to wait, because it seems that nobody is going to place vote on it. So here is calculation:

How much landmass do we want?

Result of poll will be calculated based on Looris magic algorithm

Reason: I'm bored playing with high landmass, and I think it's high time to change it. BUT if some option will have more than 40% of voters, it will be the winner regardless what will be the result of magic algorithm.
