[GS] Terra Map?

[cinattra]

Why no old world new world map aka terra map? Is there a technical issue?

You'll have to ask the game developers.

There is a good terra mod in YNAEMP though.

 

[cinattra]

Yes, I'm hoping the developers see this thread. The YNAEMP doesn't work to my knowledge for "Gathering Storm."

Yes it does.

 

[MisterBoomBoom]

Yes it does.

Why still showing as not compatible? I might have missed the Mod memo to ignore that or reinstall in some way?

Why no highlands map yet too? Very sad. But Seven Seas is a start...just wish the developers were more motivated.

PerfectWorld6 mod also has this option, although there are reports of crashes as well. If it does work, be prepared for lots of rivers and forests
It would be nice to see a map script from FXS, though. Civ 5 had it, although Terra was pointless there. Here it might be useful, but still no "official" show.

 

[cinattra]

Yes it does.

Link to instructions on how to get it to work for GS pretty please?

Will try PerfectWorld6.

Terra maps gives the civ with a crappy map start or who may be about to be wiped out an opportunity to possibly stay in the game because there is yet unexplored and unsettled land.

1. install or update the mod
2. select Terra Map
3. DO NOT select a size > Enormous if you want to avoid late game crashes
4. play

If it doesn't work, I'd love to see bug reports about that, AFAIK there are none for that map (and I did had some play test with it since GS is out)

 

[iammaxhailme]

I played terra with GS just fine since I wanted to cheese it with the Maori and start in the new world asap

WHAT? the 'Yet not Another Map Packs' mod has Terra world map generator? Actually TERRA is my favorite choice back in Civ5. Where you perfectly follows European Renaissance History to sail all the way westward (or eastward if you're on the eastern shores) and begin a land grab on a backwater continent.

Maybe Firaxis might have tested TERRA map choices and it turned out to strain test machines so much so they dropped it.

I haven't buy GS yet. did Enermous a new size available since GS? or a mod thing?

One of the new sizes included in YnAMP, "Enormous" is 128x80, which was civ5 "Huge" (for reference civ6 "Huge" is only 106x66)

For Terra, I suggest to use the 2:1 ratio sizes that are also part of the mod, "Enormous 2:1" being 148x74 then.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou @Gedemon!
Tried YNAMP right after GS came out but had major problems on my Mac, so haven't gone back. Will be able to start a new game by this weekend. Joy Joy.

Of course, to make a Terra Map work properly for a Renaissance Colonization game (and Civ V's Terra missed this completely) some Bonus/Amenity Resources have to be randomly selected to appear Only on the Unsettled continent/continents to give everyone a real reason to go and settle there.
Personally, I played Terra maps in Civ V because it put everyone on the same continent with you and made Domination Games really easy - no having to hunt for opponents/victims.

...But why is YNAMP's mods still showing as "incompatible" in the mod screen? What would be the best method to update all those YNAMP mods?

just ignore the warning, I don't have enough modding time to go and edit then re-upload all of them just to change a tag.

and report those that really don't work, please.

I just tred the YNAEMP Terra and did the reveal all and the Old World looked nothing like earth. IIRC in Civ5 the script used Actual Earth old world but the New world half of the map was random. Is that not the case?

 

[Gedemon]

@Ekmek

shape is setting-dependent, see the "blending" options

Spoiler :

You can directly set a matching shape using the "Earth-shaped continents" option (which override the blending), deactivate the additional Lakes and islands placement and activate the "real terrain" and "real features" options for a scalable Earth Map, not 100% accurate because of the crude scaling method, but relatively close, except for rivers for which I've not managed to code a scaling function yet.

[Ekmek]

Ah I see. Thanks Gedemon. Hope all is well!

I'll mess around with the settings. It lets you do Old Wolrd Earth but New World Random right?

 

[jasper]

Isnt there one. All civs start on one continent across from an empty continent. The script even places cs on the empty continent. I beluve its eve called terra.
