I'd suggest going for a well connected by land map, I'm happy to build you a map based off a random one with good connections and some other fun bits (nothing unnatural, just a tweaked random map). You'll still get to explore as if it was normal, but avoid being stranded on an island.

And.. for faction I'm tempted to say go with the Technos, but perhaps he Pilgrims or Authority would be more interesting, especially earlier on. Satori could be fun, but maybe too peaceful for a good AAR.

An AAR without a lot of fighting is just no fun, in my opinion of course. So any faction that the AI uses in a aggressive manner should not be used by a human player.  :)

I say go for Apollo Industries because they remind me of The Morgan Conglomerate.

Okay I think I'm going to go with the Technocrats then.

Ete I'd be interested in a map like that for a future game perhaps, but right now I prefer complete randomness, so that the game will be a surprise to everyone involved.

Our first challenge is to create an entire economic infrastructure, from top to bottom, out of whole cloth. No gradual evolution from previous economic systems is possible, because there is no previous economic system. Each interdependent piece must be materialized simultaneously and in perfect working order.. otherwise the system will crash out before it ever gets off the ground.
~CEO Nwabudike Morgan 'The Centauri Monopoly'
