Moar Food for the Hives

Our new game, Moar Food for the Hives, has gotten underway. Some critical technical lessons were learned with Seeds of Luv:

- Large sized worlds become progressively slower to play as the game goes on
- Large sized worlds are more prone to network errors
- Hamachi, the peer-to-peer VPN service, is the best way to play Civ with friends online

With all this in mind, we're playing a 6 player, 1 AI standard game with the Hemispheres configuration for the map: 3 continents of varied sizes, plus a good smattering of islands. Based on this excellent post at Civ Fanatics, this appears to be the kind of map we want to play. No more getting stuck with Ice and Desert in the south, etc.

I did like having more AIs to beat up on in the large world; but with six players in this new Hive, I'd think the Food should be ample.
