[TSL] Yet (not) Another Earth Maps Pack

[Gedemon]

Hi,
Great maps mate,just one bug i found-If i choose india as my civ and leave the rest of civ at random sometimes i get wrong startup location but when i manualy select all civs i get correct lcoations.
thanks

that's a new one, congrats !

but I can't reproduce it here after a few try, is it a random bug ? happens on all maps ?

Ok anyway, thank you for trying to out!

Unfortunately I had no luck with your new version either, attaching the lua log.

mmm, check also the game folder itself for YnaemInGame.lua, I've just noticed that it appears as a vanilla file would do in the log, it should have the full mod path append before it as for YnaempSetup...

oups, I forgot to post the updated version of Madeira's City State

Please try to delete the previous one and install this one, if I remember correctly, this is one very strange bug occuring even when the mod is not activated but simply present in the mod folder...


btw, I forgot this line in the mod change for v0.7 :

- Madrid and Cuzco automatically removed from database when using newworld DLC

This will allow the use of the CS mod on other maps without having both Madrid City State and Spain civ in game...

I didn't know what you meant with "delete the previous one". I installed that mod you linked to and when I activated it, I got what's on the screenshot. After going back and try again I had the normal menu, but I could only choose Giant Earth. If I disable it I have the same as my previous post.

I downloaded this mod last night, and I have to say excellent work. I can't say how pleased I am to finally have a good Earth map to play on in Civ 5. Thank you.

I've been playing as Britain (NOT England ), and would love to make some suggestions on how to improve the map. I figured the best way to get across my thoughts would be to alter the map in the world builder and post a picture:

As you may notice, I've extended the north of Scotland by one tile which makes it look a good deal better. I've removed the mountains, as there's nothing remotely tall enough here to be represented in that way. Ive also added a few forests etc.

Also, I've drawn the south west of England in by a tile, which makes it look better imo.

I'm not entirely sure as yet how the resource placement works, but if you were planning at any point to include an option of permanent resources, I've also included some suggestions. Hopefully you find that of some use.

Also, if possible, I'd suggest altering the Edinburgh city-state to Glasgow, making it maritime and moving it two tiles west. Although Edinburgh is the capital, Glasgow was by far the more important city historically.

Hello! This map looks AMAZING! Haven't downloaded the map and little tweaks and addons, but I will soon. I have one question, is Spain, Inca, Babylon, and Mongolia included in this? All I really care about is Spain, pretty much.

Great work on the maps! I do have a question though, I played as England on the Giant map the other day and when I got around the Industrial era it was taking like 2 minutes or longer to finish loading each turn by the time it got done processing all the moves for the AI cities and city-states. After a while it got irritating and I finally quit because it was taking forever just to make it through 10-20 turns.

How do the rest of you play with the Giant map? Do you have the same long loading times between completing each turn or are there certain settings you can turn down that help with the loading times? I have a farely high end PC with more than enough RAM and I'm running at 2560x1600 resolution with all settings maxed but playing on Giant maps just really causes things to come to a crawl.

try to go in your mod folder ("..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS") and delete the "Ynaemp Madeira Minor Civs" folders

thanx for the suggestions, I'm a bit reserved on scaling up UK again, but I may tweak it following some of the rest of your post (except there's no permanent resources planned atm)

yep, the mod is all DLC compatible.

That's an issue for all computers with this size of map. It may help to use mod(s) that force city placement at 3-4 tiles instead of the actual ICSing AI.

I'm actually trying to add a "dynamic history" mod for the Giant Map, and that'll be something I'll have to add in.

Hi again Gedemon!

Still didn't get it to work, same problems as before...

However I will keep trying around a bit more and let you know if i find something out

"That's an issue for all computers with this size of map. It may help to use mod(s) that force city placement at 3-4 tiles instead of the actual ICSing AI."

Theres a mod I would use! AI ICSing is ruining the fun for me. Can u give me the name of a city placement mod (cant find one my self..)

 

[Gedemon]

there's the Saner AI City Locations mod available on the hub, the Large Scale Mod, and surely others.

 

[bearyn]

i installed the mod properly but when i start the game it shows "you've been defeated" screen?!

for those with this bug : do you have the december patch installed (and january fix) ?

the change in the VFS may be the cause of the bug.

i guess i haven't any patch, should i have?

 

[Gedemon]

I don't now yet, but I'll like to see the log of your loading, see troubleshooting section of first post please.

Been playing the giant map for a while and I'm very pleased!

The only thing I'd like to change is to add more resources in scandinavia, sweden has had some iron mines in the history, so I'd like to put that in and some other stuff. So i was wondering which xml file I'd have to change to add this?

Did a little resource increase in the world builder for Sweden by looking up correct locations for gold, silver and iron:

And i'm also having a sugestion to add another tile, if it's possible to make a tile smaller the the standard grid size. I'm talking about Öland -> http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8790/kartasverige.jpg (The black arrow).
The island was a very important strategic point in the war against Denmark. The castle called "Borgholms castle" located on the island were one of Swedens most important castles, blocking Denmark from a straight path to Stockholm or an invasion in Kalmar. (http://famgus.se/Pictures/Ultra-Borgholm.jpg)

Thx so far!

I wouldn't be so adictive to Civ v if it weren't for this mod!

 

[Oohforf]

I love playing England in your game! It really encourages me to build up instead of building out. I'm just wondering, does England have a good amount of strategic resources? I don't really see much by the time I get pass the Pre-historic era. Hmm, maybe I'm just being lazy and not researching enough.

 

[demonxz]

Is there a giant map with the starting positions? And then I play during the loading crashes.
(Sorry, not good at English, I use translator)

And I understand with the problems of throwing this file:

 

[quill18]

I'm probably making a silly error, but I can't find the "Custom Game" option anywhere.

This is a brand-new, fresh Steam install of Civ 5 with no other mods (except for the automatically installed Mongol scenario).

I placed the files in the MODS folder in my documents, and once inside Civ 5 I was able to open the mod browser and click the Install button. The mod now shows up in the browser list, but when I go to Mods -> Single Player, the only choices I see are "Setup Game" and "Load Game". Am I looking in the wrong place or have I missed a crucial step?

 

[GodziFa]

@quill18: you need to activate the mod by clicking the green button in the mod browser, next to the mod's name.

I've noticed a few other people have had issues with performance with this map. I understand that such a large map is going to require long turns in the later eras, and that does not bother me. However, I have noticed that I am crashing with some frequency in the later eras, and even in the early eras when I do a lot of ship movement. Is this a problem anyone else has had and if so, have you found a solution?

I love world maps and this is the best one yet. I am only somewhat annoyed with having to reload from an auto-save every 20 turns or so.

I have attached my DxDiag info if anyone is curious about what specs Im running with this.

Install windows 7 64bit, you have 8GB of RAM in your system and on windows 32bit it only uses around 3GB meaning you have 5GB of ram doing nothing. Doing this should help reduce your crashes a bit.
