Japan map huge and large

[vtk2000]

I took and took and took. Now, it's time to give back to this great community.

This is my first try at map making. I started out by making a huge 200x200 map of Japan including the asian coast along with seafaring rivers. The map was really great but the game was way too slow.

I then decided to remove the asian coast to speed up the game but still the game remain kind of slow.

I finally made a smaller 100x115 map. I haven't tried it yet but i beleive it will perform adequately. On each map, miscelleneous tribes starts out with three (large) or four (huge) cities and the resources are spread evenly.

I would really like to be able to play with the larger map so if you have any suggestions to speed up the game, it will be mucho appreciated.

Have fun!

PS the map is for Sevomod

Welcome to the forums!

Your maps sounds fun. I have a couple of questions though.

Because of your remarks about the slowness of the huge map, it would be interesting for others to know how much RAM and video memory you have.

And could you include a screenshot?

I tried your 100X115, or should i say tried, each and everytime is reads, "You have been defeated", so cant play it.

Just tried your Non asia one also, same results, "You have been defeated"????

Also tried the other 200 one all say YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED!!, did you test these out prior to you posting them here?? and if you have leaders in a map or units, then its a scenario, ok, so wrong forum also.

btw, Welcome to CFC.

@strategyonly:
As vtk2000 stated in his original post, you need Sevomod to play this map.

Here is one of the reasons:

As Junuxx gently said, you need Sevomod to play them. You're right, it will say "you have been defeated" if you don't use Sevomod because the civilizations used are based on that mod. And yes I did test the first two maps and as i mentioned they worked great.

I'll fixed the little mishap mentioned in your last post. I finally tried all three maps with different civilizations and they all work great.

And the reason i posted in this forum was that i downloaded several map from this forum and a lot of them had leaders included in them so i figured I was in the right one.

Is there any way to disable techs so that they can't go past a certain era? It seems odd to me to have nukes, tanks, and jet plans in a scenario about medieval Japan. I know there are mods that can stop tech advancement for regular tech trees, but Sevomod's is altered. Can you stop the eras anyways?
