28 civ Worldmap!

hehe, you're fast!

is it your huge map or the ctp2 world map?

[Palpatine2]

It is my own map. It is 150:300. The standart map 70:140. So there is quite more place to settle. Global conquest isnt possible on this map i guess... hehe.

Took about 12 hours to design it. I have to say that the new map editor isnt better than the old one. Or I dont know how to use it... .

@Mark & Dan
Feel free to put the map on your page if the others report that it works properly.

i just made a news item about it, when you feel it's really done(e.g. other people say it works) let me know and i'll post it in our downloads page

[Palpatine2]

Well I am sorry to say. It looks not good for the map. I am at turn 150 and I receive a serious slow down in the ai turn. With ech new city it is getting worse . Seems that all the work was for nothing.

Maybe it works better on other systems... .

Is it possible to play the default world map in CTP2
for multiplayer lan and if so how do you do it ?

[Depp]

About this world map, was just gonna try it. But do you have to use the cheat meny ? Then you won´t get any score ? The map looks great and all, but I guess 28 players wont be possible to play for almost everybody. CTP 1 was kinda tough with 16 players.
But an A for effort, and you were the first

[Apollon]

off this topic :
Depp, do you have the game yet?? I live in Sweden aswell, but I don't have it

[Palpatine2]

@Depp

Yes you have to use the cheat menu for any scenario where you not want to play with the nr1 civ . Hope they fix this in a patch. The other way is to give no start postions. Then you dont have to go through the Cheat menu. But who wants to play as egypt in kanada on a worldmap?!?

I made a similar map for ctp1 and there was even 1 civ more on the map. With that map I didnt had the "ai neeeds endless" prob until i reached the modern time. So I thought it would run in ctp2 too.

It is easy to kill some civs. Maybe I try it tomorrow again with reducing 3-4 civs.

But if it doesnt run on my PIII 866, 128mb ram, I dont have to much hope that this can improve the speed significant.

Well now it is ready. I hope it is not only running on my machine g .

You can download the map here:
http://www.ctp-base.de/worldmapv0.8.zip

Please report if the map runs as it is supposed to do. Dont forget to reade the "readme.txt" file.

Actually there are 27 (+ barbarian (28)) civs. With 28 playable civs the game crashed for me... . Hope that did not had to something with my system requirements.

Testet the maps 100 turns without a crash now g. To increase the speed of the ai turns you may turn off "show enemy move".

PS: It is still a beta. So dont be "pissed off" if the map doest work g.

Thanks man. Gonna check this out tonight when I finish my first game.

[Depp]

Yep apollon, got it straight from the US

Pal, try to get it down to 20 or so. I played a game with 16 civs last night and that was fast, I had no complaints.

[Maccabee2]

Thanks, Palpatine. That always aggravated me that CTP1 never came with a world map. I haven't bought CTP2 yet, but *if* I do, I want a good, functional map on which to play my favorite cultures. You da' man!

[Rollo Tomasi]

Wow... this is a great map. Much better than the one that came with CTPII. Wish you could play without cheating, though.
