General discussion • What generator and startpos options for a game where I may start on an island alone ?

Dear forum readers,

I’m french, but let’s suppose I’m british : I start in an earthlike world, but not really on a continent, rather an island. Is that possible with Freeciv ?

I ask because if I want an earthlike world, FRACTAL seems recommended, but everyone starts on the same continent by default. So I could set startpos to VARIABLE, but then, is there a reasonable chance that one player at least will get a british scenario ? Not 100%, just a reasonable probability, i.e., say, 20% ?

There’s also some mystery around the FRACTURE map generator, what’s the default startpos for it ? Is it the “anything goes” generator, and what makes it less earth-like ? Too many islands ? I’ve read that it tends to place hills and mountains along the edges of continents, but I did generate one once just to have a look and that didn’t seem excessive to me… after all, cliffs do exist. That being said I didn’t check the whole map, only the island on which I happened to start alone.

Your testimonies and advices are welcome.
