Giant Earth Map - Version 4

Marmoteo said:
Hey Genghis, awesome map! Glad to play it again on BTS. Really nice and neat. The only thing is that I believe ships should get extra movement bonuses. With such a big map it takes ages to cross the ocean, even on modern times.

Do you plan on adding any events? Or even better... making a scenario using the map? :D

I am making a 1500AD scenario. But for the size of this map, it is progressing slowly for me to finish it:(
 
Well, the game finally crashed for me. 1440 AD, researching Mass Media, have posession of pretty much all europe and africa.

Genghis, have you experienced a case when your interface suddenly disappeared? That's what happened to me. Soon, the game crashed, but I had to play a few minutes without an interface, and the F-1 etc screens didn't show up.

Is 4 RAM strong enough for this map?
 
lol i just downloaded this map i love it, but just curious, why is there snow in Mexico and Persiopolis?
 
Hey all,

The GEM mod isn't working for me, it is in my C:/Program Files/2K Games/ Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Warlords/MODS (or something like that ;) )

When I go to load the mod, it restarts Civ, then Giant Earth Map appears in the top right. However, when I go to Play A Scenario, the map isn't there.

I'm thinking it has something to do with my versions and the game itself. I'm running on the Civilization 1.61 Patch, and tried to install the Warlords 2.08, then I got the error message:
"The setup has detected that no version of Sid Meier's Civilization 4 - Warlords is installed.
The update requires that a previous version of the application be installed"

After some research, I found that it might be my game itself. I recieved the retail version of Civ 4 as a holiday present, "Civilization IV Gold Edition" which comes bundled with Warlords. I read that it comes with version 2.13.

Would this cause issues with the mod? And is there anything else I can try, or download to solve my problem? (Because this mod looks pretty cool :) )

Thanks

Yes. If you are playing the warlord version of GEM, I think I used the 2.08 patch only, so 2.13 is probably going to cause problem.
 
Is there someway to get this mod working with the World of Civilization mod?

Since it's basically a project to create some standards out of which individual users can mix and match their own modules, if this could be worked into there, the possibilities would be nearly endless.

Honestly, I am not into modding. I like playing with different maps and different scenarios but with the standard game rules.

However, if anyone willing to invest time to convert GEM for other mod uses, I am happy to see that happen.
 
Genghis, I'll see what I can do, if time allows.
 
I'm afraid to try this map because of all the comments about how much juice it needs.

Is this map signifigantly slower than the 192 x 120 Earth map? It seems it shouldn't be because there are alot fewer tiles. Is the land percentage much higher?

I run the 192x120 a bit slow, but OK, all the way to the modern age. I have only 768MB ram and a Sempron 2600 ... but I'm also running win2k which is signifigantly less of a hog than xp or vista, and I kill all unnecessary processes (anti-virus, internet stuff, print spooler, firewall .. the works) with a batch file for offline play.

Also: Eastern Canada is really messed up!! Tundra doesn't extend anywhere near that far south!! You have Cape Breton Island and the Gaspe Peninsula as tundra, and the whole north bank of the St. Lawrence down nearly to Lake Ontario! Practically the whole of Quebec - a province with a population about as high as California - is tundra! The site of Montreal, a major North American urban area (in the top 100 globally, including Asia), is tundra!

Cape Breton Island isn't particularly fertile, but it's a warmer climate than, say, Scotland. The Gaspe Peninsula isn't particularly cold, it looks like this:

Prince Edward Island is also tundra on your map, when in fact it is very very green and has a very pleasant climate. It gets much less snow than New York, for instance. This is PEI:

The whole of the St. Lawrence from its mouth should be grass or plain on both banks.

The whole Gulf of St. Lawrence was the first area of major European settlement in numbers in North America, especially Nova Scotia and Newfoundland - New England's population only began to exceed it in the early 18th century.
 
could someone remind me, how you change leaders, as i prefer Catherina as Russian leader not Peter :)

Open WBS in notepad, search for 'PETER' and replace it with 'CATHERINE'.

But check my spelling;)
 
In response to the last post, I would just like to say that when I edit anything below the main game details, often I end up with a crashing map. I then have to go to my backup map.

This may be just me, but a little variation in the things I do gets it back up and running with the changes.

In summary, back up your map file just in case, so you don't have to redownload it.

Well, i have change several leaders and no crashing yet.
Maybe you do something wrong? If you spell name wrong or you don't spell it with capital letters, it's crash game.

And thanks to you Genghis_Kai for making new "scenarios" to GEM. Will try 1500AD immediatly, when i finish my game with Zara Yaqob.

And one more. Just read in 1500AD topic that 1500AD is made for marathon speed. Is this map made specially to some speed?
 
I would like to thank you for GEM map, I love it !
Imagine I play it on laptop with Vista and 1GB ram :P ... sometimes loading savegame takes 20minutes :P masochistic
