Praise loud, blame soft.
Just a question, but why do most of the City States in the City States mod have the same theme as the Almaty theme?
[TSL] Yet (not) Another Earth Maps Pack
- Thread starter Gedemon
- Start date
Small update to the Ynaemp Leaders for City States mod (remove overriding of vanilla files for compatibility)
sorry, no ETA for next update, but maybe next WE, combined with an update of R.E.D, both for Polynesia DLC.
And troubleshooting section of first post edited (with part of next answer)
If the game crash when loading the giant map, try the old version, aka YAGEM (loaded the "normal" way, ie mod -> single player -> set up game -> choose map). If this version alone lead to a crash, then you're probably limited by the the actual civ5 executable and/or your hardware.
btw, all the City States mods for Ynaemp are optionnal, you could use the default CS or another CS mod.
My hardware is fine. Load all the others maps, except by this giant earth.
I tried the Giant Earth of your first version and again chashed.
The problem it is in the begging, when start loading the map.
I think it is a problem with the size of the map. The game do not recognize it and crash. Maybe just a change in some file must make it work.
Could you put your "config.ini" file here for download?
Maybe it is some configuration that is chashing the initializing...
Madeira's CS use an unique theme. Other Ynaemp CS mod use diverse colors.
AFAIK there's no other map of this size to check if you can load them.
I've not done anything special to load this map size, anyway here's my config.ini :

As Gedemon already mentioned on page 15,
The game itself use alot of computer resources instead of CPU, bigger the map, more resource it use, the Devs 'fixed' this in Patch 1.0.1.217
For me, 1.0.1.217 reduced loading (game & textures), and wait between turns (1.0.1.167 was agony above turn 400).
Without going to much off-topic about PC hardware/software technical details:
I play Civ5 on DX10,11 with medium settings (yes, i prefer performance over quality),
although i tested with default (high) settings, didn't noticed a huge difference on texture and loading time with YnAEMP Giant or Huge map.
You said, selecting the other maps, game doesn't crash on initializing (Earth Standard & Earth Huge).
I'd say, use Huge map, play with a few lesser Civs and CS, and have fun.

I downloaded this map, and finally got it into the place where I could use it. But when I launch the map, it starts everyone out in different places. Not the places where the map says they are to be. Help!!!!!! I placed the map in the maps folder. Is that not what I was supposed to do. I could not find it any other way.

No need to move a .civ5map, leave all files in the YnAEMP folder at *\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS
My guess is, you didn't do:
Start Civ5> Mods> Single Player> Custom Game (select YnAEMP) click Load Mod

v0.8 uploaded, first post updated
Important : before installing the new version make sure to update your version of Civilization to at least patch 1.0.1.217
change log :
v0.8 (Apr 10, 2011):
- tweaked : minimum city distance reset to pre-patch value (=2)
- added custom setup art file
- added some atolls in Pacific Ocean on all earth maps, add/redrawn Hawaii
- added polynesia start position on all earth maps
- balance : add some requested starting resources (whale and silver to England, wine and marble to Rome and Greece)
- tweaked resource placement order : place requested resource first then major deposit
- tweaked requested resource placement : on larger search always try to place the requested resource, even if a duplicate exist (could belong to another civ)
- tweaked vanilla resources table placement for Silver
- tweaked England on giant map : swap position of one land tile to make London a coastal city, added hills in city second ring for production, added 2 rivers
- tweaked Edinburgh on giant map : moved one tile north to give more room to England
Please report any new (or old) bugs, but note :
- update your version of Civilization to at least patch 1.0.1.217
- minimum configuration recommanded for the giant map : quadcore CPU and at least 4 gb of RAM on 64bit OS

Question:
Has anyone run into this issue or a similar issue:
Turn times (with 14 civs, 15-25 cities each) has been around 70-90s generally around turn 350 however in the span of just 20 turns, the turn times have gone all the way to 240 seconds, so more then a doubling.
Observing the CPU usage graphs for all 4 cores shows a drop in 3 of 4 cores, in parts of the turn where nothing appears to be happening ingame (frozen, can't move around much, now this happens usually but only freezes for say, 10s at a time during end turn).
>>There's nothing wrong with my hardware as it's just isolated to this civ game.<<
Reloading a save 20 turns back gives me the usual 70-90s times in the same session and shows a different CPU graph over the cores where the load is fairly average on all 4 during the turn.
Anyone run into something similar where turn times jump drastically over a short period rather then slowly increasing?
As for generic hardware info, 4GB, W7-64bit, intel i5.

There's always a discussion between duo/quadcore cpu's on how they perform with 'turn based' games.
Civ5 is build around c2d, yes, it supports Quad-core, but the engine will still use 2 physical cores.
No matter if you run the game on a 'high-end' pc, the thinking AI - wait between turns, will always be there.
Remember, it's not just a game/map you're running; OS, background tasks, virus/spyware scanners and so on, are affecting performance too.
I've found some informative posts on 2kgames Civ5 discussion forum, take your time to read them.
Multi-core support
Long wait on turns
How important will a Quad-core CPU be

I'll take a look at the links, thanks.
But ye, tested all of the above otherwise
My main issue was the sudden jump (>doubling) in turn times, and not the gradual increase which I've grown accustomed to yeah, I've experimented the "frozen" phase when playing on very large map, but I don't remember this kind of sudden jump in waiting time.
on the other hand, I'm playing in windowed mode on multiscreen and I'm browsing or modding between turn, so it could have happened in some of my games and I didn't notice...

Hi! I enjoyed v 0.4 for a long time, and got recently the 0.8 version - and got a little problem since then.
I got over 46 city states to choose on huge (the middle one) map and over 88 on giant (the biggest one) map
I got all heated up, since there's nothing like bullying city states on weekend afternoons...
I chosen the huge map with 46 city states and found that the game. Amazingly, game didn't crash, yet my optimism faded when i actually met first city state:
i can't talk(aka "open diplomacy window") with them...
Am i lacking something required to play?
I got latest version of civ and the mod. I use it with non-injective mods only(like "end at industrial era")
Where's the problem?

If you still have previous version(s) of the mod installed, maybe you can try to move it (them) out of your mod folder (keeping old version seems to cause bugs on various mod)
If you still have problems then try to clear your cache folder and post your LUA log if possible (see first post)
edit : on a side note, whatever the number on the slider, you'll never get more than 41 CS in game (at least until we get the dll SDK), when above 41 this number represent the available CS the game will randomly pick at launch.

Also, i wonder... You guys are planning to release specific area TSL maps, like europe or asia by chance?
He's mentioned interest in it before and recently asked another member here if he could use their "European Landmass" map in the pack, so I'd say it's a good possibility.

Denmark DLC announced. What do you plan to do for them?
