Any large map, larger world???

Really enjoy playing this civ game, but the world seem pretty small and wondering if there any really huge world to play on?

When you start the game, you can choose between several world size options. Try the "Huge" option and see what you think!

^ what Fourgott says. But if you want even bigger, using the editor, you can edit these default sizes. I think the largest is 360x360. There's a few preset maps in Civ-Content that are pretty big, as well as downloadable ones on civfanatics.

That size isnt big enough to satify me, that is why i am looking for a bigger world map.

The problem with super big maps is, there is a 512 city limit. On even the Civ-Content map Europe you can reach this limit. Some mods try and encourage big city spacing to compensate for bigger maps. There is a hacked exe that tries to bypass this city limit, but not sure if it can go that much higher.

Ah i didnt know that, well maybe i will stick with the defaults.

I like enormous maps also. But I can save you some experimentation here.

I went straight to the largest possible map, 360x360. I quickly found that, like the "speed of light" in universe, you just can't get across the map in a game. With standard settings, it can take 100 turns to get to the other side of the world, even in a ship. I fiddled with the editor, e.g. gave Lighthouse and Magellan's both the +1 and +2 movement speed, and gave Lighthouse trade-by-sea, increased road speed to 4, but half the map is unreachable.

Now, if you want to make a full custom ruleset, I would double the speed of everything. Instead of doing this, I dropped back from 360x360 to 320x320 and then 240x240, but kept the wonder ship speed and road speed improvements, and this was a good size for me.

A world too big to cover the entire thing seems exactly like what I want! Now I need to get up the courage to use the editor.

I am really enjoying this 360X360 map, it is the first game I think I have played when there is value to the explorer. Usually by the time I can make them, I have explored everything already.

Do you have the link for that map? Or already in the game??

I had to go in tot he editor and make it. Fun though, I choose continents, and all the cultures are on one, but everyone else is way up north and I am down south. Plus I seem to be the first to get ships capable of crossing the oceans, so I am colonizing willy nilly. So much fun!
Silly me, I enjoy a rather casual game.
