Default Re: A little artisanal map... with 1225 provinces

Ah, I missed the message that there was a playable version of this - I thought it was going to be months still.

So I gave it a try, and well, am still playing... got hooked again.

This is a wonderful map for those of us who can get hooked by a huge world. I know you mean to do a lot more work but the version as of now (part way through the thread) is very nice, with a good amount of custom stuff on it already (I like the Tundra terrain sites where appropriate, for instance). I think it's a good idea to play it with the random sites turned down a few notches (or even to 0% base chance) since there are hand-placed sites and the map is so enormous. The teleporters and underground areas make it more than just a huge map. I like the "this was an old huge RPG campaign" flavor too, even though I'm not a D&D fan (TFT & GURPS, yes...). Anyway, I'm having a great time with it, and will let you know if I have any specific feedback.

On the issue of the lag with the map, I have some but not too much. I am sure it is because the map image is so large, and with all the detail, I wouldn't want it smaller. The issue will I think tend to be not so much the system RAM, but the amount of video VRAM on the video card.
