Do they only do...

[The Navy Seal]

I'm wondering if the WOTMs are always on standard map size or they are sometimes on different sizes?

 

[AlanH]

There's no restriction, but they all do seem to be standard so far. If you want a different size, tell Gyathaar so

 

[Lexad]

There was a New Year Spanish GOTM on Large and Monty GOTM on Small.

 

[AlanH]

The OP referred to WOTMs. There have certainly been other games on non-Standard maps.

 

[Lexad]

Sorry, missed the "W" part

 

[Gyathaar]

Perhaps I should make a duel sized map with 18 deity civs for next game?

 

[Lexad]

Capac, please...

That'll be fun.

Need to be careful about going for big maps - make the game slow for those who have limited time, and raises the potential for crashes (especially gyathaar's favorite memory allocation one).

 

[Thalatta]

I guess that means no huge terra with raging barbs, ever. Oh darn.

 

[Mutineer]

To be true I do not believe there mach poiunt to use other then normal size maps.
On big one's it take forever to play, extrimelly slow and amount of micromanagment needed killing any interest to play. Small one's are just too small.

Normal tend to give the best ballance and the best enjoyment.

Even if 80% of players prefer one particular configuration, that doesn't mean it should be used 100% of the time.

it's about variation. actually i think a duel sized map with 18 civs on deity could be a very fun experience

Probably a very short experience...

did you try the ironman challenge?
I'm sure some deity guys out there would manage a diplo win somehow .

edit : even with normal sized map, I experience lots of crashes in the late game. On large or huge, it starts right from turn 1

What kind of system, and what game graphics settings give you these turn 1 crashes?

Sadly I have had too much experience with crashes, so might have some insights or suggestions.

Don't forget to turn on Agressive AI .

Now all he needs to do is make sure every warmonger leader is in.

I was exagerating a bit, but it gets unplayable very fast (just meeting all neighbours is enough) on large and huge.
I think I need to buy another GB of ram if I want to play those.
