Hello Civ community.
I‘ve been reliably informed that Quintillus’ editor will allow maps exceeding 365 tiles but only in one direction. The available Earth maps aren’t large enough for what I need. I would like to know if anyone would be willing to make a modern world map 360 x 720 tiles if it’s possible.
I need to be able to use most of the setting from the modern part of my mod to pre-place the units. I don’t intend to have settlers or to have the map loaded with cities, only major centres of population and industry (with their cultural borders maxed out). I want to use bonus resources, transferable units and “immortal” units (nationless, no HP) for urban sprawl. Most of the map would be wilderness and ocean and much of the urbanised land in larger nations wouldn’t provide any benefit. What I need most is to have exceptionally vast distances between the regions of the map. I intend to make road 1 tile only preventing wasted moves but not adding any extra. I expect that it might need fewer cities than the 256 x 256 giant map so loading time wouldn’t be significantly longer.
I want a world map where multiple players can cooperate on many levels and the main obstacle is distance. I don’t expect anyone to win the game but instead nurture your nation into something that you could be proud of. With most games you’re expected to dominate the world in one of a number of ways; in this just maintaining your status into the 21st century should be the challenge.
If the first one is successful I’d like to make three further scenarios a later date, WW 1, WW 2 and a full history version. The full history scenario would need a barbarian civilisation (which allows a variety new features) to pre-place all of the cities or you’d have the obvious problem.
I know most of you will think that this is a ridicules request and ask why the 256 x 256 or a map 360 x 360 wouldn’t be good enough; everything is just too close together for a realistic global game.
