My vote:

Renaming on
Hall of fame entries 15
Score graphs enabled

Edit: I was writing my long post when Strages posted his VP setting suggestion; they're pretty close to my rules so I'd be OK with those settings ^_^

I like score graphs as well. I think they're interesting. I can see why people wouldn't like them, since they're a bit unrealistic, but I think they're fun.

My Vote is Normal VP, Renaming on, Score graphs enabled. In other words, just like Virtual.

15 hall of fame is good.

Graphs are unrealistic and scouting is better. I dont really care tho.

Take it from me. Turtling isn't working out that great over here.

especially not with 3 water nations in play.

I have run a few test scenarios and several times they started alarmingly close together. Also the water provinces are split in two; one much smaller area and a larger area. None of the water provinces that I can see are set to no start. So anything is possible down there!

Score graphs represent a sort of general rumor mill. Personally, I like them, but I think there should be an option to make them inaccurate by +/-50% on any given turn (rather like reports of enemy army sizes.)

I digress, though - score graphs encourage people to attack eachother, by various means. Attacking am good. Therefore, score graphs am good.
