...is the number of times a map screw occurs up. I keep getting maps with not enough settlements for example, which doesn't make for a very fun or fair game. Gold screws I haven't noticed, but settlement screws seem to be incredibly common now.

Land Unknown has given a medi style map.
Map screws are very prevelant but I've never gotten a settlement screw before unless you count getting 4 TC's literally on my side and 2 TC's on his... That's happened a few times.
Gold, island, and cliff screws tend to happen more often. Island screw is where your island on Islands is just a long, thin hotdog - no resources and not even enough space for a storehouse. Cliff screw is where on anatolia and sometimes alfheim cliffs cut off all of your gold to the enemy's territory and/or there are very few openings in the cliff, making it more of a "if you don't have archers you die horribly" type scenario. Gold screw is where you have 3 gold mines to your opponent's 10
