I like games to last awhile and feel “epic”. Huge maps are great, but the games can become tedious in the Modern Era if you’re basically waiting out the clock for your win and are still involved in wars requiring moving scores of units around the map. Large maps feel just about right to me these days – just enough space, and just enough civs not to lose track of diplomacy. I’m not a fan of Standard maps at all as they feel fairly claustrophobic.

Standard, almost every time.

Large or standard. I like arch maps with signficant land size to provide "terrain" for the naval strategies.Haven't been here for ages....Comment

I love Huge maps...
and I look forward to the day when I have a wall mounted 128 inch monitor and still have to scoll the map...
The whole concept of so much detail, so many civs, so many people, so many units...
Bring on Massive Global Civ... 181 Civs.... ouch...
I suppose I will need to upgrade my PC again..
I have only played a few games that were not huge actually, I fell in love right from the start...
Is there a public opinion regarding the difficulty level of different map sizes? If one is harder than the other? Because of my limited time of play outside huge I really have no clueYou saw what you wanted
You took what you saw
We know how you did it
Your method equals wipe outComment

Uncertain what the Apolyton common wisdom on the matter is, but personally, Large/Huge maps provide me with more difficult games than Standard."Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription is ... more cow bell!"Comment

Quote from a few years back: "You know it's time to upgrade, when you play Civ in real time."
Anyway, I think I"ll make a Tiny to get some practice, then take a crack at a Standard map.Visit First Cultural Industries

It is easier to get boxed in on a smaller map.
Longer games with slower research benefit a better strategist, i.e. the human player.Comment

after a quick glance in the editor, it looks as good as any map you could get.
nice work, i will play shortly to really check it out.While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.Comment

i like standard maps. huge is not really compatible with my jurassic system and tiny is... well, extremely small.
I watched you fall. I think I pushed.Comment

BTW, have many noticed that the poll results are skewered?
(51 votes but the total tallied seems to think only 36 at this moment)Comment

I used to like Large primarily, but now I am finding Standard size to be sufficient. But Large can be a lot of fun still.Comment

Bigger the better. Love those massive epics.

Large is my favourite type. But I agree with Paddy the Scot. Bring on the extreme huge maps.Comment

probably because the poll allowed you to pick more than one size.Originally posted by Jaybe

so even if 36 voted, some picked more than one size.While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.Comment
