Map: A little artisanal map... with 1225 provinces

Hmm, I seem to be getting competition for the big maps.
This monster only outweighs the biggest Faerun map by a factor three...

Should be REALLY good when you add the specials. I like the graphics just fine, even if a bit more earth-tones plains would perhaps look better.

Hi I love the big maps! Have you posted yours anywhere? Thanks!

Not yet. It's still in the works, but will be coming out in the near future.

How do you use the cave passages? I get the neighbor line, but can't click on the destination?

My map is a little too big and it seems in some cases problems occur with very long movement arrows. Sometimes the arrows never appear, or appears only if your screen is on the first province (but you don't see them on the destination). One or two times I even had a game crashing when drawing the longest arrows (I recommend to do a "save game and quit" and reload before doing the very long range movements, to be sure not to lose the other orders ; zooming out to see the two provinces also reduce arrow drawing problems).

...but I never had an impossible movement, so I don't know for your problem (which provinces are concerned ?).

Twan, I am enjoying playing your Greyhawk map, the problem is the length of time it takes to draw the movement arrow. You have to be patient and wait for your computer to catch up, particularly if you have a old, slow machine like I have.

This problem occurs on other big maps as well and is not isolated to Twans map.

Yes an option for instant arrows instead of the drawing animation would be cool.

I've got a dual core 3800, 7800 GTX vid, 2 gb ram and a moderate hard drive. Usually have no problems (other than longish turn times depending on how epic the game is).

I've let it sit for 10 min and nothin... does the "move" orders on your commander come before or after the arrow is drawn? I never get the "move" command either... so it might just be getting hung up on the drawing somehow and never getting the move command to go through? I haven't played it in a few days but i should have some time today.

This is really a beautiful effort. I was wondering, though, why you decided to stop at 1225? Not that 1225 isn't an awesome effort, but we've got a group of people on the Perpetuality thread discussing creating a 1500 (or more, if that's possible) province map for use with a massive multiplayer game of 70+ nations. I'd *really* like to use your map, because it's a mod, and such a nice map, as an advertizement for mods in general.

I was wondering if you had any interest in extending your map by 275 provinces? I wouldn't expect or want you to change it in anyway, just possibly extend the area it covers by a degree.

1500 is the max now for maps

[HoneyBadger]

When are they going to bump it up to 6000?
