Hello,

I don't know exactly but I have found recently that we can do a lot of things by modifying the Python files...

...1. Open "CIV4WorldInfo.xml" file located in your "C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets\XML\GameInfo" folder.

2. Choose the existing map size you would like to change and find the appropriate tags to edit the grid heighth and width:

"<iGridWidth>32</iGridWidth>
<iGridHeight>20</iGridHeight>"

*Each grid cell consists of 4 tiles (plots), so a 32x20 map grid is actually 128x80 plots....

from this thread

with this info the standard is 21x13 grids or 84x52 tiles
and the huge is 32x20 grids or 128x80 tiles

Would it be possible to make a map that is 80x128 then?

i think yes, but look at the thread i linked in my post.
