The maps are too small!

[HoosierLarry]

These maps are too darn small. You should have given us more control over the map sizes.

[Neonivek]

There is a mod for that.

I do wish you could just straight up choose the map size, but the trick to getting the largest map is to set it up for 8 players with Far starting distance.

If an ai starts their magic victory across the map, you'll be happy about it!

I always try and build outposts with teleporters across the map, and stick summons in them (So I don't have to march an army to them to guard them)

Interestingly there are more threads which implies the opposite than this.

Yes, we can!

Not if you disable the magic victory.

But I don't see the issue really. I've started with far distance to make the map bigger nad switched to normal for now. Seems ok. Also depends on map features. If 50% of map is taken over by mountains that funnel you in a zigzag, it will seem pretty big or pretty small, dpeending if you're counting your livign space or the speed at which you can get from point A to B.

Ugh, the pure thought of playing a large map with the incredible slow movement speed of units already fills me we terror. :-|

There are map settings. Maybe use them.

[Slapstick]

I tried a normal sized map with 7 players. Gosh darning if that wasn't a slog. Exhausting. I'll keep playing my close quarter 5-6 player maps thank you very much. Can't imagine how you guys can stomach bigger maps... just - how?? The game is mostly over by turn 100, what do you need another 50% map for?

There are manners. Maybe use them. Your snarky tone just earned you a block.

It's sad that a mod is needed for a basic user control. Which mod is it? Have you used it?

Oh no, a random dude on the internet blocked me. Whatever will I do?

Stop acting like people have not already told you how to change the map size. At this point you are just spamming.

Yeah, I get that. That's part of my complaint. When you design a game, you're designing something to entertain people. We all have different likes and dislikes and different experiences that we want from a game. You have the opportunity to grant the user control over the experience when you design a computer game. You should be building upon at the very least, what you did before. In AoW3, you could set the map size independent of other variables.

Want a big map with only a phew players ? Well it can't be done, yet.
