Can the game be played on huge maps now?

Without slowdowns and such?
I have pretty nice machine but I have heard that it kinda dont matter, at least in 1.52... Any better now as I saw they improved mem and video usage or something similar

Well, I just replied on another thread where he is experiencing CTDs on 18 Civ Huge maps so it looks like in some cases it still isn't possible. I've never tried an 18 Civ or Huge map but it plays pretty well on Large maps with 8-10 civs. It's all down to RAM with Civ4. Not alot of change as regards to RAM/vid usage in the latest patch.

I am running an AMD 3800, 2gb RAM, GF 6800 GT with 256mb... Huge maps work on high settings...VERY slowly. My recommendation is staying away from them. If you must...Turn off/down the graphics. I ahve played successfully with Low graphics and no animations.
