Welcome to Giant Earth Map (GEM)!

Giant Earth Map (GEM)

What is GEM?
Giant Earth Map (GEM) is a mod developed for fulfilling the desire of playing historical scenarios on a giant-sized Earth map. Not only it is Giant, GEM is a map that doesn't use a standard projection of the Earth. This is because most human activities in history were concentrated in certain areas only and using a standard projection will result with a map containing many regions of not much use (such as the Pacific Ocean). In contrast, GEM is completely free hand sketched with proper enlargement to those areas of interest.

Other than the two plain maps, one with Modern and one with Ancient resource allocation, in version 6, there are 4 scenarios coming with the mod, 200BC, 1500AD, 1860AD and 1940AD. The scenarios are made with many references on nations to be included, city allocations, city names, city sizes and military sizes. GEM is also a good platform for modders who share the same philosophy to develop historical scenarios.

How the map looks:

More on background story of GEM

Spoiler :

The first version of the Giant Earth Map took me on average two hours per day for half a year to develop it. Without using any map generators, I first drawn layout of the continents to the ratio that I felt most balanced. This gives me the flexibility to upscale the size of any interested region on the map. Then I adjusted/fine tuned the map, for every tile, so that the map looks realistic even in the local scale – something which usually cannot be achieved by map generators. It took me about 3 months to have a map ready for me to fill in resources.

Another great feature of GEM is that it references real statistic of resources for resource placements. This allowed the map to be less 'biased' towards any regions. However, the time needed to search for the correct statistic for each resource, scale the source into the number of icons on the map, correctly draw the border on the tiff map and lastly placing the sources on the civ map with the correct amount and correct locations was unexpectedly long. It took me another 3 months, almost the same amount of time for drawing the entire map.

After the first version, I received much feedback from this forum and have updated the GEM accordingly. The map you now downloading have been commented, reviewed, tested and balanced. I hope you will enjoy it.

Current Release: Version 6.4.1 (Released on 28 Jun 2011)
(Minor release)
1) Fixed a bug in 1940AD.
2) Game balance changes for 1942AD - US starts with a much larger military force. The commonwealth, Japanese and Chinese also increases a bit.
3) Added one more important city to Russia and changed some Russian city names to their historical names.
4) Added Sentry promotion (+1 visibility) to scout and explorer.

Version 6.4 changes:
Added two scenarios, 1936AD and 1942AD, which are derived from the 1940AD scenario. There are also some minor game balance adjustments in the other scenarios too.

I have reverted most unique unit's ability to BTS default just to make the game less different from the original. But I have made an important change on movement speed - the base movement of all land units is now 2, just like Civ 5 does. With the increase in movement, the warring aspect of the game is just plain faster.

N.B. Don't forget about the add-on pack for more leaderheads. It hasn't been changed but you will need to extract it to the GEM folder again every time you use a new version of GEM.

The download for BTS: (only compatible with patch 3.1.9)

Download Instruction
Download the rar or zip file and extract it to the following path (note that the following path should be changed according to where you have installed Civ 4):

"My Documents\My Game\Beyond the Sword\MODS\"
or
"C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\"

After you placed the folder in the above path, start your game normally. Then click "Advanced" in the menu, click "Load a mod" and select "Giant Earth Map”. The game will restart but with the mod this time. Then go to "Single player", "Play a scenario" and pick a map that you like.

From GEM 6.2 onwards, the download is provided in rar format, which compress files better than zip. You will need WinRAR to extract the file, which can be freely downloaded from http://www.rarlab.com/.

WARNING: the map is Giant in size and it will strain your PC. RAM seems to be particularly important. In particular, the 1940AD scenario is a RAM killer! I won't try this map on a PC with less than 1G of RAM. Having that said, it would only cause, in the usual case, a long waiting time between each turn; in the worst case, your game would quit without saving because it is running out of ram.

Lastly, please come back and put a rating and drop a comment. If commenting, please try to be precise and constructive so that I know exactly what you want it to be.

Scenarios by other authors:
Other than the scenarios bundled with the GEM mod, there are a number of scenarios, developed by other authors, that you can download separately. These scenarios offer you the experience of other ages in History on the Giant Earth Map. You can easily found more about these scenarios from the corresponding threads within the GEM forum.

Graphics and performance Add-on:
From version 6.2 onwards, the leaderhead add-on is highly recommended since there are simply not enough leaderheads in the default game. Without the Add-on, some scenarios will have duplicated leaderheads.

FAQ related to GEM

Q: The game is very slow, it takes XXX minutes between each turn!
A: This is a fact we need to live with when playing Giant-sized map. Nothing I can do about.

Q: Can I modify GEM and incorporated into XXX mod?
A: Everything is possible. However, depending on the mod you want to merge into, the time and effort required can be significant. You will need to spend your own time to find out how to merge them. The good news is that, everything from this civfanatic is open sourced. The bad news is that I will not be able to give you any assistant in that aspect.

Q: Is GEM Multiplayer compatible?
A: Yes. It should. But it is always problematic when playing MP with mod.

Q: What is civ "Yue"?? Is this Cantonese??
A: Yue people:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_(peoples)
In ancient time, Yue is used to refer to the people in southern China. Southern China contains hundreds of different tribes in ancient time. I have used "Bai Yue" as the long name, which means "A hundred Yue" boardly referring to all the southern tribes.
Cantonese could be considered as one of the Yues but assimilated into Han Chinese culture.

Q: The mountains in Germany confuse me. Besides the Alpes seperating Germany from Italy in the south Germany has hardly any real mountains.
A: Actually, I did not define Mountains by their absolute height, but by their relative height in this map.
The reason is that, I want to enable city placement in the highlands. For example, if you look at those regions like Tibet, Andes and Rocky mountain, you will see a lot of hill or plain tiles surrounded by mountain tiles. That's because in relative terms, the tiles that are surrounded by mountain tiles are not as tall. Most of these tiles, however, I used tundra to represent that they are actually highlands.
For Germany, since it is mostly plain land in reality, smaller hills might featured as mountains in this map.

Q: Argentina, Brazil and all of south america has no cows! The thing is that the region is the second biggest exporter of meat.
A: There are two versions of Plain GEM. The ancient resource version will simulate the resource distribution on Earth before the 16th century. At that time, all of south america really doesn't have any cows. However, according to wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpaca
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llama

There were two animals called "llama" and "Alpaca", which were domesticated by native americans, like Sheeps and Cows correspondingly from the Old World. So what I thought was, to give some sheeps in the Americas to represent these animals.

For Oceania, since there was no domestication, I've used deer to represent Kangaroos and Emus, that Australia has plenty.

Q: Why doesn't XX resource included in XX area? It was necessary because ...
A: Firstly, there are only limited number of tiles and we can't represent everything on the map. Secondly, it is difficult to obtain an objective and world-wide statistic for any time earlier than a century ago. For example, the stat I used from FAOSTAT gives info back to 1960s (mostly for food resources). The BGS stat I've used for mineral resources gives info only back to 2000AD. But in either case, I've already used the highest production year for any region to mitigate effects of abnormal production rate at a certain year.

Q: I can't view the top players in the list to the right, you can only view roughly the bottom ~25 players.
A: This is a problem for people playing at normal resolution. I am ok because I am playing at 1680 * 1050 resolution so I can see all 36 civs on the right. There is a mod to include a scrolling scoreboard that you can install yourself. See the suggested add-ons for more info.

Q: Why does Ottoman started in the central Asia? Is it not Istanbul?
A: I have changed Ottoman to mean Turk in GEM. Some other civilizations are also changed, Byzantine -> Hungary; Holy Roman -> Poland; Portugal -> Brazil; Celt -> Australia.

Suggested add-ons

Disclaimer: I recommend you to consider the following add-on. But most of them requires some computer knowledge and CIV modding knowledge. I suggest if you are not comfortable with doing any of the add-on, either just forget about it or make these changes in a very cautious manner. I can only provide limited support with these issues as well as I cannot guarantee the add-ons will work on your computer.

GEM Add-on leaderhead:
This is the only add-on that is managed by me. Provides lots of new leaderhead graphics that are compatible with GEM v5.3 or later. Follow the instruction listed on the site:

BUG:
Note: from version 6.2 onward, RevDCM is included in GEM as a default, and hence it is no longer required to install BUG separately by yourself.
BUG is mod that improves the interface of CIV and it doesn't affect gameplay. Note that BUG will cause a conflict with GEM if you just install it in the custom asset folder. It is because GEM uses Better AI and the two have some conflicts in python. But the two can be merged relatively simple.

First, install BUG from here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=274636.
Then followed exactly the method mentioned in here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=296534
and use the method "If you installed BUG 3.5 to CustomAssets and want to install Better AI as a standalone Mod:"

Then you will get BUG to work with GEM!


Scrolling diplomatic Screen:
Note: from version 6.2 onward, RevDCM is included in GEM as a default, and hence it is no longer required to install this separately by yourself.

Include this if you don't like BUG
Thanks for JEELEN for reporting:
"It seems to me it might fix the civs scrolling off screen"

http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=10972

I don't want to include it in GEM by default because I don't have a problem with it and don't want to waste my visible gameplay screen space for the scroll.

It only has one file so it should be a easy merge. But remember, use WinMerge with the existing file in GEM if you want to keep everything.

Information about the future update
As I am thinking of phasing out from CIV, I am not anticipating to release any more new scenarios. But if time allowed, some more scenarios could be done for a GEM version 7 and tops in my list are 2010AD, 600AD and 1200AD. Currently, no expected date of release.

 

[Genghis_Kai]

My latest activities:

1) Playing 1860AD and 1940AD scenarios

Looks great!

One point on the resources though - as far as I'm aware, it's possible to program in a script which spreads resources to and from the new world at around the age of discovery (I know Rhye has done this, so you might want to see him about it).

 

[SadoMacho]

Are you gonig to add the cotton tabacco and pottato resources?
