Plain map is easy
But what if there isnt enough place for all players ?

One solution is to produce semi-completed save-games, w/ units, cities etc.

That would make kickstarting easy,
and would also stop the need for half of current server variables

But another problem occurs then :
we would need to parse tech tree to see what are the correct units,
buildings we might to set up etc.
And land ruleset to see where we can place cities/irigations
And maybe some other rulesets ...
