Hi folks
Even worldmaps, say 170x170 are hard to play in later stages. Simply because of the number of cities consume too much time.
I got a p4 2.2, with 1024mb ram etc...So it's quite strong, but not strong & quick enough for my taste.
Maybe this method is applied already. I don't play very often, so in that point of view, I could be out-dated.
Anyway. I took a Rhye's worldmap 2.14, changed the number of settlers for each civilisation at the start of the game.
ie. America starts with 15 settlers, same as russia
ie. the Netherlands starts with 1
ie. England starts with 6
etc. that for 31 civilisations.
Then, I didn't allow each civ to produce any acient, medieval, or modern settlers.
So, all in all, the max number of cities is set to 150 (150 settlers & spearmen straight at the start
, deleted the babarians and the goodyhuts, so no cities where destroyed because of them.
I locked America & England as 1 team, also Arabia and Babylon.
The results is a world-map, and which is very playable, all the time.
Still there are things which could be improved.
