Default Re: Tackle the Tower

For people with lesser machines (or even average ones) I will give a hint that I recently realized. When I was creating maximum 1500 province maps I was also setting the map size really huge. It turns out that you dont need to do that. They dont affect each other at all.

I probably should have realized it sooner. It sounds dumb to put it in print now but I hadnt thought about it. Setting the map size (heighth, width) larger only increases the amount of detail. On a smaller map the trees and mountain features are fuzzier and dont zoom in well. Actually Ive decided that I like that effect since it makes the gaming features (fort, units, arrows) stand out more.

It also helps the game process faster. So now instead of 10000x10000 maps of 1500 provinces Im messing with 1000x1000 and 1500 provinces. Im still trying to decide where to leave it.
