Would this Series include non-Classic maps in the future? In any case SoS runs well with 1900, Versailles and Milan. Not sure about Ancient Mediterranean though.
Right now we're just trying to get a few games off the ground, and I'm limiting it to the classic map since that doesn't require a paid subscription.
Sum-of-squares scaling would be perfectly fine for Milan (which isn't played much anyway), and would be reasonably fine for Ancient Med (since it also has 34 SCs and a victory condition of 18 SCs).
1900 would be a little different (with 39 centers on the map), but probably not in a noticeable way, as the victory condition is still 18 SCs. There will be only rare scenarios where a game ends in a draw with two players at 18 or 19.
Versailles, however, is where scaling differences would start to show up, though again to not any huge degree.
What I meant to refer to in the last post is the variety of variants that aren't currently supported on this site, but could hypothetically be available in the future. You end up with perverse scenarios in which the gain of a single SC, which represents a lower percentage of the overall map, represents a higher percentage of the SoS calculation.
