more than huge paps

[Mike.doc]

Is it possible to make very super giga mega huge maps ?
If yes, where or how ?
Thanks all of you.

Maps, no paps obviously !
Excuse my right hand.

Yes, it is possible.
Go to the Civ 4 Directory, Assets/XML/GameInfo/WorldInfo.xml
Play around, that's how I did it.
Oh, don't forget to make a backup.

P.S.
If you want to wait, I will be publishing my first MOD in the next week or so, & it has a "Monster" map.

Great, but in these numerous lines what to do to modify the dimensions of the map?
Thnks.

All right here is are some more in depth instructions.

<WorldInfo>
<Type>
<Description>
<Help>
<iDefaultPlayers> Number of players on map (max 18)
<iUnitNameModifier>
<iTargetNumCities>
<iNumFreeBuildingBonuses>
<iBuildingClassPrereqModifier>
<iMaxConscriptModifier>
<iWarWearinessModifier>Increase to reduce war weariness (I think)
<iGridWidth>the width of the map
<iGridHeight>the Height of the map
<iTerrainGrainChange>
<iFeatureGrainChange>
<iResearchPercent>increase to increase tech development time
<iTradeProfitPercent>
<iDistanceMaintenancePercent>reduce to reduce distance maintenance
<iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>max free cities
<iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>increae to increase the length of anarchy (I think)
</WorldInfo>

Now the <GridHeight> & <GridWidth> have to be multiplyed by 4 to get the actual map size.

Now w/ some exparimentation you should be able to make so nice maps.

If I have something wrong correct me.
