i was just thinking about how a earth map 6x as large as the old earth map and realised that england alone will be able to hold 24+ cities (used to be about 4, x6 = 24)!! wow can you imagine how hard it will be to colonise america or *gasp* asia , that gona be a pretty cool map ! i can just imagine taking over china or india that will be a VERY big challenge

any thoughts!

[DrFell]

I just hope I have the patience to play on such a big map...

[mark13]

Patience is what it's all about in the end - anything over about 30-35 cities and I get bored to tears, I'm afraid....still, it'll be interesting to see what it'll be like. I just think it's a shame you can't have more than 7 civs on a map, to be honest....

You do realize that on such a large map, it could take forever to even meet the other civs? You could very well play 3/4 of the game all alone!

Number of civs

When will these nasty developpers have the idea to raise the number of civs present at the same time on the map ?

I know that goes against the meaning of "civilization", because a civilization is always composed by more that one state. But we don't care that concept ! After all, since civilization I, there are a german, a spanish and a french civ, whereas in the reality, they belong to the same civilization, altough they are independant states !

So why don't developpers take the 200 countries that exist, or the thousands of "nationalities" that compose these 200 countries, and put them all in Civilization ? At the begining of each game, an option would allow the player to choose between playing again one to 200 civilizations. The "200 mode", on a large map, would be almost impossible to win by war, but what an exciting experience to meet more than two or three civs in Europes, whereas kings and republics through History had to deal with at least fifteen opponents at the same time ? nowadays, since sovietic union has disappeared, more than thirty countries share the European continent. They are peaceful, but they used to be warmongers. It would be much more amazing than spending centuries to find an opponent.

[splangy]

i have some worries about the world map, there are several problems that i can forsee:

1- Aztecs will get ALL of central-south america
2- americans and iroquois are gona be slowin eachother down alot
3-russia will get poland-norway-far eastern asia-central asia!
5- france can cut the rest of europe off from iberia
6- egypt-persia are gona starve in there sandy homes
7- japan will get all of the pacific and austrailia if india dosent
8- and can you see the power of france coming to bear! imagine production+comercial, it can just rape europe

but i should probably wait for the game before complaining

Re: Number of civs

[SIZE=1] more than thirty countries share the European continent. They are peaceful, but they used to be warmongers.

Muahaha. about 30?
There are 56 countries on the European continent!!!

[Inverse Icarus]

Spalngy, look @ the setup screen. 1 human civ + 7 civs + barbs. not 16 on a mp.

16 total in the game.

Right, I apology. I haven't taken into acount Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Kazakhstan (a small part stands before Oural) etc. But I still can't count more than 44 countries in Europe, 45 with Russia.

Es tut mir leid, StSz, aber du sollst mir antworten, wo deine 12 andere länder stehen.
