Editing world sizes

[Destroyer]

QUickie

On the CIV4WorldInfo.xml file it has references to the world sizes. I wanted to expand the Huge world size a bit, but the default values are:

32
20

Surely not correct?

I did this recently. Those are the default settings. I ended up trying 48 by 30 at first. Bit sluggish, but settled for 40 by 25 which hums right along.

What do the values mean???


Cant be tiles, surely?

[TheArsenal]

No, they're not tiles. There's a thread (somewhere, couldn't locate it) in the Mod forum that discusses the relationship between those numbers and tiles. I'm sure someone will pop in here and supply the info though.

[Destroyer]

I did try to look.

[TheArsenal]

Checked around. Each number is 4 tiles apparently, so a Huge Map (32x20) is 10240 tiles.

[Destroyer]

Right... 4 tiles. Makes perfect sense.

Civ 4 is the most moddable of the Civ series. If you speak the ancient lost language of Alphiraxia.

What they didnt say was.. "after you purchase the add-on - Civscrewyouforanother£30, available next summer".

Civ 4 Huge is 105 tiles long and 64 top to bottom.
Civ 2 huge map was 120 by 75.
Civ 3 huge was 160 by 160
