Will there be a way to make bigger islands?

[Lord of Asswood III]

Honestly some of these "big" islands are wayyy to small to have a capital city. I understand the point of this is to have trading between islands and add a supply management aspect to the game, but seriously is there any way we can get bigger islands?

Also, a map editor would be awesome. I really hope they add a map editor. It sucks having to load up multiple seeds when starting a new game and realizing the islands are terrible. Anyone know if they will add a map editor or feature bigger islands?

one single island can fit 20K investors easily with out all support factory. trust me, you dont want them all on the same island, farms factories and all

You have to outsource your industries to your colony islands, try make use of the artistian class pier building to ferry your people around...

Thank you for your responses. The problem I am having is I keep making new games once I get tired of the same map lol. Got to stick to one. I've only once got to the engineers so far.

There is a DLC planned for later this year which will include one big European island. A map editor is not planned or supported.

I am nevertheless very disappointed with what is announced :

The Sunken Treasure DLC: Expand your island with a new European session and large continental island, as you join an excentric inventor and his diving bell on a treasure hunt

So reading this, it says indeed island, not islands. Personally I would have preferred multiple islands (not just one), a map editor and a larger map as well. maybe even a start setting where you can choose how many big island there will be on a map. Right now it's always 4 larger islands, regardless of how many players are in the game.

If there is only one island and they make it full of rocks and rivers then it's no use for people who want to build a big city.

As for the editor, that is probably not the end of the world. For previous Anno versions like 1701 or 1404 editors were created by he community so maybe we get an editor anyway. There was a video on how the existing islands were designed by the programmers, maybe at some stage they provide the tool to create your own islands and import them.
