The map is still in-progress. We all want to play the map and move on to the mod stage, but it will take some time. Have you seen the screenshots I posted?

What kind of spec machine do you imagine we will need to run this map ? Currently I have a 2.9 GHz P4 with 128Mb card and 768 Mb RAM, will this be enough ?

I don't suppose an upgrade to a Gb RAM would be enough either ?

Don't know sorry but 768MB RAM isn't enough
I have 1MB RAM and that is just enough for run a "Huge" map ...
The size of this map ( 225*110 ) is three times larger than the "Huge" size; I let to you imagine the lag ( sorry for my english

Guys, lets face it. Civ4 needs AT LEAST 2GB RAM if you want to play maps this big. 'UnCopain', the map has been reduced to 225x100 for performance reasons. 768 MB RAM is enough for starting the game, but once you pass 200AD, your gig will kill you. Anyway, let's wait for the completed map and see.

Sorry Guys For not being around lately, personal issues.
Anyway, I've got 768 MB Ram. But I also received a new 256 MB video card for Christmas, which helped a lot. I really don't know at this point if the mem saver option will be much better. I also don't know if restarting the computer every so often will help or not. I have to wait until tax time for a mem upgrade or a new Comp.
Anyway, the map will look good. Their is a lot more room for expansion. I am hoping to get an atlas from home that has modern natural resources listed in it. I still need to tweak the USA a bit and finish Europe. Other than that we need to finish SE ASIA and the Pacific.
I am well pleased with all of the team members and their willingness to see this project finished.

I'm sorry but this is taking too long. That other guy who made an Earth map that was way larger than this didn't even take this long.

You could at least post some new screenshots or keep us updated, no offense.

Guys, guys, guys... Our map is meant to be accurate. It is late because of some personal and/or technical problems. I do not have any screenshots at the moments to post, however all I can report is this:
The parts of the world assigned to me are all done. All I need now is to combine all the other parts of the world as soon as the other members finish them.
Stay tuned

T-Rex is right. There are a lot of things that have happened to the project. I think we all have lives outside of civ IV that simply have to take presidence. But also we want the map to be very accurate while stile giving room to manuever around on.
On another front, I just got a new comp. I bought a Gateway GT5028. It has a Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 3800+, 1 GB RAM, but it has a built in GeForce 6100 (128 mb shared memory). I need more RAM and hoping to get a video card very soon. So, I'm having certain issues with finishing and running the map.
But after things slow down here at Homework R US College, things should get back to work quickly.

Okay I'm hoping someone can help me with an upgrade issue for being able to use this map for its full potential and making an even bigger map later.
First I plan on buying about 2 GB RAM soon.
second the video card... GeForce 6800 PCIE w/256 MB or Radeon X1300 w/512 MB?

I have some bad news.
I have had a problem that I have been hoping would go away for 2 months now. I went to the doctor today and was diagnosed with a bad case of carpotunnel. I will be forced to wear a splint for at least a month and hope I wont have to have surgery on it. Until I see how difficult it will be to use the splint, my computer use is limited.
So, I'm happy to say T-Rex is going to finish the map.

Update:
I am near graduation and I am dealing with this bum hand as best as I can.
I will finish the 200 x 100 map as soon as I get the missing pieces.
In the meantime, I am working on a 250 x 125 map. Mainly, I'm curious to see how it will look.

What do you think of this preview of the 250 x 125?
