Huge Earth TSL Map

[kryat]

Still waiting for my spherical earth map.

Has anyone found Atlantis yet? I assume its in an apocalypse and/or secret societies mode or both or something...

EDIT:

I give up after a few turns. It's too crowded for me.

Bwa ha ha ha what is this?

Venice has no coastline

Valletta is on the North African coast

Europe doesnt work in Civ6. Just blob it all into Germany

 

[Apocrypha]

I really want to see a full map picture of the new Mediterranean Large map.. seems more my style

You mean this? ->

In the April Patch dev livestream someone asked what was this blob in the middle of the Atlantic and they totally denied it and joked it was a conspiracy.

Speaking of Greenland, have you looked at it on the Huge Earth map?

(This is from World Builder). Ice on coast to represent ice sheets. Nice idea but what happens when ice melts? Greeenland becomes a sliver? Not to mention circumnavigable.

It looks like Firaxis copied @totalslacker Play The World Earth and took a nice idea and made it worse.

At least Greenland is now part of the Americas (unlike regular TSL Earth).

It's a bit more extreme than the reality, but central Greenland is actually under sea level because of the weight of the ice sheets above it. In an extreme melting scenario, Greenland would have a massive lake in the middle, until a few centuries of rebounding happen (as is happening, for instance, in the Gulf of Bothnia).

VERY interesting!

(But let's be honest, the Greenland on TSL Huge Earth is nowhere near that).

However, I've been wondering how to implement internal glaciers in my map Scrambled Greeenland. (It is developed from a satellite image).
This is exactly how to do it - with an internal frozen lake. Thanks!

Should have moved it to the Pacific to give Japan more room, or so I’ve heard.

I'm thinking they were pushed by Vatican, just like Spain was pushed by Portugal.

Hmm?

Alphabetical order... or coincidence?

Does anyone know where we can see a picture of the 100% revealed huge tsl earth map? I can't see to find one...

Disappointing that europe and the middle east are still so small-even on huge. I've seen mods that expand those areas just a bit to make them 100% better-even on huge.

It is geographically accurate, though. Europe is small. IRL, of course.

Still think the Mediterranean should have been bigger than just 1 tile wide to cross etc. But I guess the Engine can't make any larger maps.

 

[Mahi]

Europe has been crowded in every iteration I've played, even for huge maps. It's a matter of temper if you like the Europe start or not.

In 2016 and until summer 2017 it could handle that size for Mediterranean sea on a world map:

Oh of course-the issue is that they're got so many european/ME civs in the game that it makes no sense to have these areas not blown up at all. Makes your options a lot smaller

So still no luck on playing larger map sizes?

I like that kind of map to play, but it's not a geographically accurate one, so it's a different approach than the TSL.
On the minimap, India looks not much bigger than Spain or metropolitan France, and it is about 6 times bigger IRL.

What were the x and y lengths of that map that is no more handled by the game?

230x116, and yes, even at that size, Europe would not be big enough to fit all Civilizations if the proportions were respected.

Yeah. What's up with that?
At least Sri Lanka is now a 3 tile island (Kandy)

 

[Pfeffersack]

I just hope this map implements the "naming rivers/mountains" GS thing... standard size one doesn't IIRC

That's something modders could do.

More importantly is has Firaxis fixed thee issue of river flooding on TSL (and other World Builder produced) maps?
That's a biggie. And it's something only they can address. (Not the modding community).

What issue is there with flooding rivers?

Rivers don't flood on Firaxis's other TSL map. In fact, half of the natural disasters don't really work.

At the danger of spamming the forum with these issue - a word of warning and a small glimmer of consolation for the TSL map fans:

The issue with unnamed rivers/absent floods/impossible dams still plagues most of the TSL maps, including the new huge Earth one...

...but for some odd reason the new Mediterranean one works as intended as the only in this regard:
