Battlefield Asia: The Mod(Idea Stage...comments please with cherrys on top..)

[ShiroKobbure]

um... we cant use this
come on, we need asia to be atleast, at the very least twice that size.
japan is only big enough for like 2 cities, its a good map of asia for 4 civs, but i think you want more. I dont like tiny maps, big maps means more fun, with civs, lands to explore, and barbians, and more room to spread your arms before fighting civs next to you

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I agree, but you don't want the map to be too big, otherwise come Industrial Age....

I've actually played with about 12 civs on this map. Japan has it tough, but can expand into Eastern Russia fairly easyly. A bigger map would be good, but not that much bigger...

 

[ShiroKobbure]

we need the asian part twice as big, and I dont like the shape of japan. Maybe ask TeT to release a map of his asia on his biggest map.

some wonder splashes

For my own Eastern Asia Mod (started a long time ago but I am lazy), I used this map as base. Cannot show you the precise one as it has terrains and resources linked to other folders.

It is a crop of an el Mencey map with modifications. I think it is possible to crop less in the West so as to include India.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thankyou LouLong! That was thoughtful of you. I just wish I knew how to crop, is it just copying from another map?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

it doesnt have all of indonesia, or northern asia (northern russia, hokkaido)

 

[ShiroKobbure]

how about croping TETurkhan - Test of Time 2.0 (World Map 362x362) from Sakhalin to the Timor sea, and from the Afghanistan to the Soloman Islands.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

We could do that. Would that fit in a Conquest Scenerio size map?(Like the Conquests have)

 

[ShiroKobbure]

i dont know. Whats the difference between a map and conquest, why dont we just make it a regular map with conquest editor

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, the Conquests maps are around 80 by 80, having enough room for expansion but getting rid of lag. Think Sengoku or Rise of Rome

 

[ShiroKobbure]

well
I think Tet's Test of Time 2.0 (World Map 362x362)'s asia part is perfect size, or we should go larger, but no smaller

Well, the Conquests maps are around 80 by 80, having enough room for expansion but getting rid of lag. Think Sengoku or Rise of Rome

I'm pretty sure there are maps of subtsantially larger size than this in the Conquests; take WWII in the Pacific for instance.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I HATE Industrial Age lag. 99% of the time when this occurs I quit the game, its just not enjoyable. I am getting a new Upgraded CPU, I hope that this helps, but I doubt it will get rid of the lag entirely(And it is very bad on my computer, to the point of freezing it fact)

 

[ShiroKobbure]

thats why they have railroads in industrial age I guess

 

[ShiroKobbure]

so... what is everyone working on?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Right now I am playtesting Heart of Destiny, which alot of people want to play, then I'm going to start heavy work on this mod.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, How should we approach this? I have a Biq I was working on. All I need to do is create a folder for the mod, and get rid of all the Non-Asian stuff.

My New computer can handle HUGE maps...so the previously stated problem is no longer an issue.

PS: DPII's new units he just released will make excellilent additions

 

[ShiroKobbure]

send me the map let me check it out

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thats the problem, a suitable map hasn't been made yet, other than the Civ2 converted map(which isn't that hot)...and the other map doesn't have Indonesia on it.
