The largest map I have tried is 9000x9000 pixels (about 300 Mb) and that works just fine. Province wise there is a limit of 1500 provinces, but I don't see why anyone should want to play on a map larger than that.
The obvious reason would be to say that Dom3 has a major fault (such as not being able to support *large* maps)

I thought this was an anti-Dom3 thread...
I guess it was, but it sure isn't now. Honestly, I have enough fun playing dominons 2 that more units and spells would satisfy me. Then again, on a 1500 province map playing against one AI, I could wish for one of each unit and fully equip them before battle started. Maybe this will be more fun than I expected.

I think the biggest fun in Dominions is to play via TCP/IP on small maps with 4 players. You can finish a game there if all of the players got enough time. PBEM games are too slow, some games take months to complete. I also still enjoy the SP part of Doms2, regardless of the AI problems. I think singleplayer fans like my bro will be happy with Doms 3. We know that some parts of the AI gonna be fixed, also theres the chance to make a decent mod, where the AI will do great. So all in all I just cant wait to get my copy of Doms3. What is the planned release date btw? I heard that it is june, and I hope that it wont be pushed back.

We won't have the game until July at the earliest, since the projected gold date is in June.

As a person who primarily plays against the AI, I hope to see significant advances in the quality of the AI as well.
