[TSL] Yet (not) Another Earth Maps Pack

[geebo]

Gedemon love your mod/maps, really only play TSL. Was wondering what are some of your plans for Gods & Kings? One suggestion I have, with the inclusion of the Netherlands and Sweden is to move Denmark to Norway, they were a united kingdom for about 300 years(1536-1814). This would give the Dutch a little more room in an already crowded Europe and would give to a good conflict in the northern most part of the continent. One other suggestion is if you want to leave both the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires in then move the Ottoman's capital to Turkey's present day capital Ankara. Would love to hear some of your plans, like how about the Celts, Scotland or Ireland? I doubt central Europe do to the close proximity of other civs. Again thanks for all your work, great maps/mod.

I love this mod, and I don't think I could play the game without it. Therefore I wonder if you will update it for the upcoming expansion pack as soon as possible? Cause I'd love to play as Sweden on TSL as soon as I can
Also, a request; could you possibly move the spawn point of Stockholm up one tile? It doesn't look realistic at the current spot.

Hey Gedemon about having more than 22 civs I have found a mod for Civ 4 that allows them to go to 34 civs which is way above the 18 player limit in Civ 4. Maybe you can try use this to help you allow to do the same for Civ 5.

I have:
i5 2500k @ 4.0GHz
Gigabyte 468X UD4-B3
8GB Corsair 1600MHz RAM
GTX 570
Crucial m4 256GB (Civilization is on this).
Plus a mechanical drive which is irrelevant.

Is this not good enough?

It's good enough, huge map shouldn't crash here. any other mods installed ?

I love this map pack, I really do, but what would be the best option for me if I wanted to either 1.) Play these maps with random start locations, or 2.) Find maps of this quality that give random start locations?
Also, I was playing on the epic(Giant? I forget the name) map, and it just random froze up on me

About 1 and 2, just copy the map from the mod folder to the civ5 map folder in My Documents/My Games/ ...

I hope G&K code could handle the giant map...

I prefer to leave civs at real TSL, and add an exclusion list to the mod (choose which civs will be ingame so Europe is not overcrowded)

But I may move Ottoman east, yes.

ASAP, yes.

Which map for Stockholm ?

Thanks, but I used 50 civs DLL with civ4, I know how to do it, and belive me we can't raise the max civ number in civ5 until we have access to the civ5 DLL.

We'll have to wait, sorry...

 

[ScottMcPwn]

I dont quite understand you sorry, what do you mean by DLL?
And like about having access to it...?
Sorry i dont understand its just that i am not a very technical person.

 

[Gedemon]

Well, I mean that technically we can't do it now, the DLL is a part of the game code that we don't have access to, and that's where the max number of playable civilization is defined.

 

[geebo]

can't believe the DLL hasn't been released yet. How long after Civ IV did it get released? Don't remember off hand.

 

[ScottMcPwn]

Oh now i understand thank you.
But seriously why wouldn't firaxis just release it anyway?
Would it really hurt for them to release it in the first place

IIRC after Warlords, so we're still on track

thank you sir, oh ok so hopefully early '13...

 

[Solemncollector]

It wont work, i have the newest version but when i try to load the custom games like it said there arent any custom games. if i try to start my own game using the map i cant research tech because its all blank.

 

[Gedemon]

By "newest version" you mean civ5 beta patch ?

If so I haven't tried the mod with that version yet, I'll have a look.

 

[PR0927]

Please tell me you'll be adding this to Steam Workshop?

 

[Gedemon]

Yes. I've got a release candidate, just need to test it with the new patch.

 

[PR0927]

Yes. I've got a release candidate, just need to test it with the new patch.

Excellent! I do have a question though - I modified your map to have proper Honolulu placement (not on the biggest island). Assuming you won't be placing it there again, if I modify your map again for this, will it work on Steam Workshop and everything? Will problems be caused?

 

[Gedemon]

you had edited the XML, right ?

you'll just have to edit it again when you'll get the new version, files in the mod folder will be editable as before, yes.

same for mapfiles.

 

[Ghonasiflaids]

I tried the giant earth map, with 22 civs (All but denmark, america, and greece.), with 41 city states. Needless to say it was laggy.

Yep. Sounds good, thanks!

 

[pokeravi]

Did they release the DLL yet? I saw something on Steam about new SDK tools being released.
