What size maps are you playing on

[Runmymouth]

It hit me that their might be a problem based on the size map people play on. So what size map is everyone playing on?

[GeoModder]

Standard.

[Peterk1]

Huge. Some of us old timers like games that take forever!

[myros]

I started on standard but thought the map was tiny so moved to huge. Then found out that the area you can scroll too is only limited early on so that maps are actualy much bigger than they initial appear ...very cool

Sticking with my huge game for now, made a custom game with 10 civs and custom contenints = 5. Lots of fun.

i always play huge myself

[MattPilot]

Are the guys playing on "huge" trying to compensate for something else... something "smaller"?

I personally play on smaller maps



J'k fella's.

i like longer games... small maps = short games i am a fan of the epic timeline.

[Tventano]

First one standard, second one (now playing) also standard. I think it is large enough. For some quick games I may use a smaller one. Probably never go larger than standard.
Normal is still quite fast, so I may try epic in the future.

I play on GIGANT from my mod: http://magnus.infidyne.com/civ4/

It is 2.25 times as large as "Huge", this combined with slow tech make really fun games. Had a great medieval war yesterday that lasted for probably 100 turns. Requires lots of RAM though - I have 1.7GB.

Huge, with only 3 opponents. The Barbarians make up for not having more AI civs. Once i get the hang of things I will up that like I have in the past.

[myros]

Yeah I tried your gigantic option and with only 1gig of ram it just about chokes my comp ;p
Maybe after the next computer upgrade cyclle

id play huge, but it crashes horribly so...

standard

Anything larger than standard creates problems on my system after mid game unless I turn all of the graphics down to low.

[enoeraew]

I had the map issues then updated my grphics drivers and they went away...the game still hangs a bit on creation....

what was that about the maps being small when you start but growing afterwards ?

Bugs!

Huge maps with lots of units and Civs with crash 99% all systems its a bug in the game!
