Giant Earth Map

Oh.. if it was planned back in the fall, you probably have a "working" copy with the essential steps already prepared including some newly defined Sub-Continents schema(s) for such specially calibrated regions. Then, i'll be waiting for more recent news.. soonish!

Been checking out other YaMP dependant maps & Zobtzler's Americas is precisely the kind of twisted setups that could inspire how the "GiantEarth-Bis" (or Dual) version might exploit dynamic variations of composite details where clipout contexts can be referenced as pure coordinate/values logic rather than just generic naming conventions. Bigger maps, bigger controls necessary -- all of which are basic recipes for storyline designs.

I've already felt the need to revise (( <Replace Domain="GiantEarthLongitude" Value="80" Name="LOC_MAP_NORTH_AMERICA_EUROPE_NAME" ...)) from its default 88 -- so, there might be some more obvious gap steps with upcoming DualGEarth features worth focusing on. For example, the "Classic" theme map above has the Matterhorn tightly locked on the top-left corner which is good for quick unique identity visuals. There are many such worldwide hints on typical concepts.

Other considerations should also help out creating a bigger set of cropped rectangular conditions (XY range limits, CS positioning, available regional quantities, oceanic "waste", etc).

Anyhow.. we'll see.

PS; Here's my current Map.xml file which has the latest small Fixes & an alternate Valletta location to help out with unbalanced FloodBarrier/Computer restriction temporarily. This is the type of custom hooks to "cheaty" modes that could stand as potential tricks with DualGE. The opportunity is there, AFAIC.

 

@Gedemon I've tested the Giant Earth with 16 GB HBM2 graphic memory now, 32 GB RAM - it still crashes at the exact same point, somewhere between building city no. 120 to 150. i was trying to test for a near optimal city spread of about 188 cities. any pointers what this CTD could be related too? i already eliminated any silly mod dependencies. hardware is kinda ruled out too at this point.. just curious and burning to make it work / fix it. thanks + merci so much!!

 

Out of curiosity does anyone know what this bottom river near Edmonton is supposed to be?

Spoiler :

 

The river on the north of Edmonton is the Sturgeon River (the Alberta one; there is another Sturgeon River in Saskatchewan that is also a left tributary of the North Saskatchewan River, confusingly enough).

The river on the south is the North Saskatchewan River.

 

Is there a simple way to script where AI will try to found their 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. cities, incl. custom names on Giant Earth? Many thanks you all

 

i.e. for @Gedemon 's Maasai - what would I need to modify in MJ_ynaempSupportTable.sql to pre-define those cities' locations on X and Y of GiantEarth - or would I be barking up the wrong tree? THX

Spoiler :

-- Add city names
INSERT OR REPLACE INTO C15_ColonyCityNames
(CivilizationType, CityName)
VALUES ('CIVILIZATION_GEDEMO_MAASAI', 'LOC_CITY_NAME_C15_COLONY_NAMES_NAIPOSHA'),
('CIVILIZATION_GEDEMO_MAASAI', 'LOC_CITY_NAME_C15_COLONY_NAMES_GRUMETI'),
('CIVILIZATION_GEDEMO_MAASAI', 'LOC_CITY_NAME_C15_COLONY_NAMES_MENENGAI'),
('CIVILIZATION_GEDEMO_MAASAI', 'LOC_CITY_NAME_C15_COLONY_NAMES_NAKURU'),
('CIVILIZATION_GEDEMO_MAASAI', 'LOC_CITY_NAME_C15_COLONY_NAMES_ILKINANGOP');

 

The Maasai are by @Gedemo not @Gedemon. Two different modders.
