Help with the map

[vapa]

I always wanted to create some good map that I could play all the time,I was thinking that a map of entire world with all the countries and cities should be excelent choice,but I didn't had a lot time free becouse my scholl and other stuff.I have registered on this beautifull site few days ago and downloaded El_Mencey world map,then I have started thinking about my idea,but (there is always some but) I'll need some help with that.
El_Mencey map is too small and I'm sure that I can't create that map all by myself so is there anybody who is interested in this project.
Here is my idea:
We will create a map of entire world with allmost all countries and all cities,first we need a lot biger map than 362*362,I mean a lot bigger,is there a way to create map that is about 1000*1000 or even bigger(if there isn't than we should find a way to create it or make some programe that enables that.),then map should be the same as a real map,for roads and mountains in Europe I'll (we'll) use programe route 66(not to create with it,I'll use it to see from it position of cities,roads,mountains,for those who don't knows route 66 is computer auto card wich contains every detail of Europe,every city,river even every vilage),offcourse first we need the map of the world that is as I said very big.So people wrote what do you think about my idea,this is only one part of it,if it's possible to create map of world I'll post my entire idea.
Waiting for your reply...

There should be a larger world map in the completed maps forum, I'd take another look there.

EDIT: In fast try this one;

First of all, it's not possible to have a map larger than 362 X 362, that's the maximum. You won't even be able to make one outside the program that would work.

Secondly, even that size isn't practical because of the maximum limit of cities, which is 512. You would reach the max long before you ever filled the map. The best size is 256 X 256 for what you have in mind, with no cities allowed on Desert and Tundra. With that, you would have just a few small areas that don't get developed.

Finally with a map at 362 X 362, your turn times are going to be so long that you may not want to play it. The larger the map, the longer it will take for your turn to come again, especially if you have a lot of civs. By the end of the game, you might be looking at turns taking up to 1/2 hour.

I have a strong computer so time isn't a problem,but if map size is max 362*362 then never mind,I try to find the EUROPE map that is almost big as max size so I could create my version of WWI and mybie NATO aggresion on Yugoslavia.Thanks gays.
