Earth?
Does anyone know if Civ4 will also include the 'real world' globe? I always preferred the world maps to the generated ones...

I don't know if one will come out of the box, but since Civ4 is supposed to have powerful modding tools, you will probably have fanmade ones in a few days after release

One of the beta testers will probably post an Earth map the day before the game is released.

I am always surprised to see how someone is able to make such good earth maps. It is beyond me in any case :-)Comment

Let´s hope that the large world maps will also be playable, that really wasn´t the case with CivIII if you hadn´t got a super-ultra-mega-computer... I wanna play with _lots_ of civs on a huge world map!

Given that Civ4 has less civs and smaller maps than Civ3, this will likely not be the case.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

It was said that standard games and maps are smaller, but I thought that the 'supersize me' option would be, with or without support, there for those who wanted.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Yes, but it not being "official" implies that the game is unable to run well with large maps (otherwise, why would they leave it out as a standard choice?) and that the game mechanics where not designed with large maps in mind.Originally posted by Dauphin

I see it as a disclaimer - It may work fine, its just a way of avoiding extra work if it doesn't run to spec.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Yes, which is basically what I'm saying... you shouldn't expect to it to play any better than Civ3 in this regard. And, if anything, should expect it to be worse since they've toned down the scale to avoid the "extra work" of geting large maps to run to spec.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

Yes, and both civ 2 and civ 3 had user generated earth maps that were more realistic than the built in ones.

Marla's not played civ in a long time, last I heard.
I'm hoping CivIV will allow ultra-tiny maps, so that I can make a CivIV version of Hexette.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
