Final Earth Map 2016-10-05

One other comment: After removing large chunks of forest in North and South America, there are almost no resource-planes (grassland? whatever the green squares are called). Not really a problem, just rather annoying.

 

[Vonotar]

Then don't remove the forest!
Honestly! It's the believe that you can just cut down trees and find perfect grassland underneath thats responsible for all the extra desert and scrubland in the world!

Great map! My Persians are nearing total control of the planet. Have a question though:

What is the total land area or land tile count of this map?

I have all victories turned off except for conquest and domination. I have eliminated all other civs except the Chinese, but they are so big that it's going to take a loooooong time to finish them off.

I hold about 423,000 sq. miles of land (4,230 tiles) currently. Does anyone know if I am close to a domination victory?

(just bonk me on the head and point me to a link if this has been talked about already)

Thanks Marla for this good world map
i love this map

Can you make please europe a little bit greater i think its to small
When i play Germany i have no places to expand

Well, I'm not going to go count all the land squares, but here's my estimate:

The map size is 204 X 256 = 52,224 tiles
Guessing that 30% is land based on the fact that the earth is 70% water than 52,224 x .3 = 15,667 tiles
Need 66%? for domination victory than 15,667 x .66 = 10,340

I don't know if my math is wrong, but it doesn't seem right. Otherwise, you need to double the territory you already have!

Your maths is wrong... altho the map is quoted as being 204x256 you have to remember that the only valid co-ordinates are either a pair of two even numbers or a pair of two odd numbers

e.g.
1,1
2,2
3,3
4,4 are valid

1,4
2,5
3,6 are invalid

based on that 204x256 is really 204x128 = 26112
therefore assuming 30% is land of which you need 66%

26112*.30*.66=5170

which sounds far more reasonable

I wanna play on that map where Greenland is the size of South America and where Alaska is as big as Australia!

 

[Axel]

is it just me or has anyone else been having trouble with the correct start locations thing and this new patch? each time i try to load the "fixed" saved file i get an error box going on about a TILE error. any help or advice would be appreciated.

 

[Lawman]

Aye, 5170 sounds much closer. I've covered 4806 tiles presently. I'll let this post know what the final land count is for domination victory.

Thanks!

Statistcis for Marla's Map
Land: 6875 (26.3%)
Water: 19237 (73.7%)
Total: 26112

6875 * .66= 4538 Needed for domination

There is a new version of CPT in the CPT therad.

You would also need to change the shortcut on the start menu, as the new version of cpt requires long filenames to be encased in quotes........

I've spent most of the weekend pulling my hair out over the Civ3Edit program (why do they email you to say a new patch is out, but not email you to say that the patch needs patching!! ).

For those who don't know, if you downloaded the first version of Firaxis' 1.17f you will need to download a corrected civ3edit.exe, cos the one in the patch is wrong (and totally screwed up my first attempt to create 1.18 of marlas map!). Maybe when 1.18f appears they can get it right first time

1.18 is now available at the top of the thread, what are you reading this for? GO GET IT!

 

[Vonotar]

Upgrade from either V1.17 or V1.17b to V1.18

No real changes, but compatible with Firaxis 1.17f Patch

Upgrade (124Kb)

 

[Schee]

It's a great map but there are a few improvements which could be made (for France) :
Rheims should be spelled Reims
Napoleon could be Napoléon and Joan d'Arc must be Jeanne d'Arc
You could change the French color too... I think they should be blue like in Civ II... they would look better than in pink
(sorry for my terrible english)

 

[Moulton]

Mine crashed. No matter what reload I restart, it crashes about 1240. Always same turn...
V1.16
Happened with Marlas oribinal map, at about the same point, but that one restarted when I downloaded the patch 1.16.

 

[Axel]

Thanks for the upgrade

I recently downloaded the latest, 1.18, version of the map, and I use the latest, 1.17f, patch for Civ3.

I have a major problem though. I decided to play as the Zulu, and I also used the "starting positions" fix. Now it seems that my only city refuses to build settlers. It builds warriors and archers and stuff just as it should, but it just counts down the turns until the settler's supposed to be ready, and stops there.

To check, I started a game without using the starting positions fix, and then there was no problem.

Please help me. I'd really like to try the map.

 

[Marla_Singer]

I've just put the 1.18 version at the top of the thread... well, I have nothing else to say actually...

 

[SouthPaw]

First of all I want to say this is a great map, even though I have to wait a long time later on in the game for end of turn. I was wondering if its possible for someone to or has already made a map of the world like Marla's with all the major cities of the world today already in place in its geographical position. So as to create a scenario of what if you would take over a major country today. To take control of a country as if you were elected today. Just a thought, was wondering if anyone is interested in such a situation.

Are you sure that your city is size 3 or bigger?

If so, can you post the save (zipped)?

Hoppas att du inte tar illa vid dig för den första frågan , men det kan bli rätt många sparningsfiler att kolla på om man inte ställer sådana frågor.
