well, that's the thing. We here are discussing the GEM with come with the v35 package.
@Arakhor
the GEM with 32 civs come with the v32 package. So I expect that it does work proper.
But all what I see since v33 is that there is made lot of stuff but no bug fix of v33 and it is no longer working. For a GEM the 32 civs are not to much, it is a BIG map. And furthermore, on such a big map it is relatively unimportant how much civs there are, if I have 5 civs and 1000 barbarians and the 5 civs have 10,000 units, its same.
Remember, on v33 I could play with 42 civs fine. Some bugs in, but no essential memory allocation problem. The memory usage always stay hard before the limit, come not higher.
I already complained that there is no smaller (but grater than standard) map made, althozght there was a good map before in ROM. It was the doing of the C2C ppl to remove the medium map and focus all to the GEM. SO they have to make it working, otherwise all the fine doing for C2C is worthless, w/o working map. (and if I take 32 or 22 civs, will make no difference for the ram problem. It maybe will come little later then.
