This mod has the game speed and game size options that I had included in my Rise of Mankind mod. It adds 2 new world sizes: Giant and Gigantic, 2 new game speed modes: Blitz and Snail, and Bhruic's unofficial patch is included as well. With this mod you can play new map sizes and game speeds on normal Beyond the Sword game.

* Bhruic's unofficial patch included


About the mod

When you start new game you will have the 2 new map size options available but the new speed option are only available in the custom game option. To start custom game choose: Single Player -> Custom Game.

This mod should work on most basic map scripts but there might be map scripts that won't work correctly with the new map sizes. I don't know how map scripts work so don't ask me how to fix those to work with this mod ;)

I recommend using high end computer with at least 2GB of RAM on those new map sizes. I also recommend using some community made mapscripts to make better maps than the default game mapscripts will do.

Giant Map size
--------------
default civ amount 18
x grid size = 40
y grid size = 25
54% bigger than Huge


Gigantic Map size
-----------------
default civ amount 23
x grid size = 50
y grid size = 30
134% bigger than Huge


Blitz speed
-----------
Same as blitz speed mod component, 205 turns


Snail speed
-----------
2673 turns
Other settings same as they were set in my Rise of Mankind mod.

The Gigantic Map size has a default of 23 civs. So i'm assuming there's a DLL that allows more civs/game included in this mod?

Anyway thanks for taking the time to make this! :)
 
There is a version of the Bhruic patch for more civs. You can get it here in case the version included does not actually support that many civs.

There also already is a very similar mod to this by Nevermind, not just the Blitz speed ;)
