Default Random map settings

I'm trying to guess what the "right" settings would be for the dommap random map generator... so I'll run it, democracy-style.

Basically, I'd like to know what sizes people would like to see in their maps.

I'm not going to take any options out of the program, just add more, but I'd like to have "reasonable" default settings.

The questions in this poll are about the preferred size of the .tga file, and preferred number of provinces. Size of .tga file seems to be important, because that seems to set the "scale" at which flags, castles, etc. are displayed.

I find it easier to think of maps in number of provinces per player. Like whether a person feels the best maps should have 5/10/15/20/30/50 provinces per player.

First poll I've taken that was actually amusing to read. Thanks for all the extraneous choices.

They're half for me, so I could vote without changing the results.

Oh, and I like this week's avatar better than the Last.
