Default Re: check out a BIG game

Nice map isnt it? Yes the Dom3 generator did it but not from the menu.

I forget what that one took though I think I have it posted someplace here. Lately Ive been playing with the maximums (30000x30000 pixels and 1500 provinces). I can generate them with my linux server in text mode. Maybe it would work on a windows machine in text mode but Im sure it would crash on my WinXP if I tried it in windows.

If I remember it took about two hours running in "nice" mode (meaning it used spare CPU cycles so it wouldnt affect other things that were running). Eventually I want to add some nightly runs like I did for the old Dom2 stuff.

but also have the Dom3 generator making maps, and add new sizes for the new larger limits.

I find it easier to check them every day and grab ones I like. Especially if I want to build off of them for some special scenario.
