I see no reason that I Should have problems with playing this map..

I'm happy with my Pentium IV 3.0 GHZ with Hyperthreading.

These giga maps are great. My computer is a 2.66 and there is a lag between turns but it is not terrible. The downside with these maps is the city limits. I appreciate the effort put in to them but with about a quarter of the land mass not settled it is frustrating. hope to be part of the solution and not the problem.

there was someone who disabled the city and unit limit- think it is callled civ unlimited (or something like that ?) maybe one should ask him/her to produce a short tutorial so as for more people to un-limit their mods

Once you get 300 posts you can attach a custom avatar to your name. In the meantime there is a list of ones you can use under the profile in your user cp page. Scroll to the bottom where it says avatar and then got to the area to view them and select the one you want. I believe that's right, I haven't done that in a while.

EDIT: I mean the Options page under your user cp. It's at the bottom of that page.

Question to you:
Byzantium vs. Ottomans

Where did they start?

Firaxis has chosen Istanbul like the capital of the Ottomans, the Byzantines have like Constantinople capital. The situation in the map is the same one, but I have preferred to leave it go to the Byzantines.

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

The problem is the Ottomans settled there (Istanbul aka. Constantinopla) rather late and at that time had no definite capital until then. Later, with the western borders being drawn ever closer to Istanbul, they transphered the seat of government to Ankara...

Ok thunderfall

 

[car]

at last, i have a new computer that i believe can play this map more smoothly. i hope this will be as good as it looks

Right now I have an athlon 2400+, should run this map decently.

Hopefully when I save enough money and I get my Athlon 64 3000+ and lots of ram, I will be able to run maps like these very quickly.

 

[Slovik]

can't seem to get all 31 civs to load.

 

[Mobzilla]

I've got a game going with 30 in it right now.

great map by the way, I love playing earth maps and this one is awesome. by the way, I would like to hear feedback on how I set the map up. I an attempt to keep the number of cities down (to keep lag times down between turns) I set it so you couldn't build a city on hills, marshes, forest, jungle, desert or tundra. Of course, you can clear jungle and forest and then build city. I set it so you couldn't clear marshes. it is early in the game still, but I'm hopeful that this somewhat limits that overall number of cities later in the game.

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

I'd say that's overkill I'd suggest to limit the- uhm limit (i know, i know) of city building sites to

1) Mountains and Volcanoes,
2) Tundra, Desert and Marshes.

There have been human settlements in Forest as well as in Jungle locations (i know that there are also mountain cities- Lima, etc and in Marshes- hell Mexico Citiy was built on a lake ). However, following the human unfriendly environment- and the need to limit early expansion to improve playability I thought this was the best middle way to simulate early city building. Jungles do not offer to many benefits anyway and the AI also avoids building cities directly on jungle tiles- with forests I thought to myself that a city on a forest tile brings alon a small but at early stages significant production bonus.

For hills the choice to keep cities buildable was an easy one: There are so many cities built on hills that it would seem unreasonable to disallow. besides this there are so many resources on hill tiles- in some cases (coal, iron) even certain small wonders depend on a city build in direct proximity if not on hilltops themselves

Why can I only have 8 total civs on the map? How do I get all 31?
