	Biggest Playable Map Size for a Scenario? Enter the AD-FREE zone

Greetings

I am venturing from my dank,dark and rather unsuitable for human nest in Call To Power..
That being said..I enjoy Modding & Creating Scenarios.

My Favorite is to make the biggest map playable.

Could someone tell me what is the largest size anyone has done in CIVIII so i may try it?

Thanks and looks like a pretty easy editor to grasp

Peace

One more point..I tried but could not build a map for a scenario I am making..past 256 X 256..

Is this the largest we can make?


Thanks!

	Full PM-box? Change here!

In the generate map screen, you did try editing the Y x Y boxes, right? I just tried and I had no problem though it was technically set to a "huge" map. (Well, I had no problem in that it seemed to be gonig for 362 x 362... it locked up halfway through. Be warned, you need a good comp to run a 362 x 362 game to completion, and even then you'll start getting long waits between turns.)

Are you using Conquests, or just vanilla Civ3? They may not have upped the limit to 362 x 362 until one of the expansions.

I am running Conquests.

I went to edit rules

then world sizes

then clicked HUGE and made 256 X 256

Is there a different location?

As for my PC I have an ATHLON 2000+ Processor

1GIG RAM

80 GIG HD w/partition

128 BIT Radeon 9800 Graphics Card

I havent had any problems running much yet?

Peace

Yes in Conquests, set to [big] huge and manually type 362 by 362 in the boxes to the right. Do not multi-task the computer while it is generating the map, walk off and do something else and come back.

Maybe only huge

Again

Thanks

Ok

~sigh~

I went to the Editor

went to Map size

changed from default "TINY" in the drop down window to "HUGE" the highest it would go is 256 X 256..I tried "manually" putting in the larger parameters of 362 X 362 and it had a message come up stating I needed to be between 14 & 256...

Am I to go to another screen?


Thanks

OK Grampos Troll, are we on the same page?

Conquests Editor and I am using 1.15 which I believe is not particularily revelant.

Map/Generate Map/Huge/type in 362 and 362 respectively.

Will it help to describe how wonderous and beautiful these 362 by 362 maps I keep generating to make sure I am accurate and incidently am playing on with my own modded rule set? All because I was inspired again by you opening this thread? You set the to ocean to 60% and reset the seed with a bunch of random numbers and wah la a big hugh beautiful 362 by 362 map pops up give or take 3 to 5 minutes.

	Increase the size of your Attachments

No problem, and if you, like me want even less ocean and take the time to fill them up with more land formations replete with much more resources sprinkled about another pet peeve of mine. Maybe we could swap some maps back and forth working on them.

Be warned, the larger your map size, the longer your turns are going to take. I wouldn't even think of playing more than 8 civs at that setting, you'll be waiting forever for your turn to come up again even with that number.

Also, at that size, you're going to run into the maximum limit of cities, which is 512. I've found the best size for this to be 256 x 256, with no cities allowed on Tundra or Desert.
