Best World Map?

[Grunker]

Hi everybody. Any thoughts on what the best downloadable World Map is, and why? I'm askin' because the ocean of World Maps can be quite hard for a casual player to wade through, before finding the good stuff

Thanks!

They're all quite good, and a casual player won't notice the difference between any .

Not that casual, thank you

So really? Every world map on the site is more or less equal?

I'm partial to Carter's giant Earth map, myself. Just don't play it if you don't have a computer which can handle it.

i am also a huge earth map player and once i found these two i always play them. follow the link and they're at the bottom of the forum, zip files not rar. they're the same except longearth has korea and the other has ethiopia instead. they're really good and balanced earth 18 maps with the new world left open. also another thing u may be interested that i recently found out about. its easy to figure out how to change terrain and resources in world builder. but i found out if u go into wb on one of these maps, do what u want to it, then save it. then go out of the game, go to documents, my games, bts, saves, wb, and it should be in there. then open with word pad and u can edit the text. by doing this u can change what teams and leaders there are. so u can replace rome with native america, and cyrus with darius, and so on. there still has to be 18 though. to figure out what text to type in exactly right to make the change correct, do this. figure out the 18 teams u want. then load a custom game with those teams. then open wb and save that, and go find the file like before and open with note pad. then u can check the exact text for all the teams u want. so for instance if u want to change china for maya, make sure in wb u delte the chinse setter and warrior and move them to where u want the maya capital to be. then u can also use wb to add resources and change terrain there. then once u check what the mayan text should be, and change china to that, then the chinse civ and leader becomes mayan. this is a cool way to make your own best earth map with all your favorite teams. i hope you understand changing the text isn't too hard there's just one small section for each team at the beginning of the file.

Any smaller ones? If I set my lappy to High Performace, i can run huge maps, but that brutally murders my battery life.

Mechaerik, have you ever considered actually plugging in your laptop? Wouldn't that spare your laptop?
