Civ3.com: 16 Civs in a huge world!?

[Jer8m8]

Once the game comes out, how long until someone makes a 256*256 world map? A week? 2?

[fluxcapacitor]

yeah, that's something I REALLY want to try: a 16 Civ game on a 256x256 ACCURATE earth map

[Earthling7]

What is all this moaning about RAM and mHz? Who cares what kind of a computer you need to play 16 Civs? If my puter isn't up to it, I'll get a new one or upgrade!

16 Civs on a huge accurate world map sounds simply awesome!!!

[Mads Raven]

Well, I just asked - thank you for YOUR help...

And what about PBEM with 15 other people?

HELL YES !!!!!!


LUNG, Do you hear that my friend . Could you imagine a pbem with 15 us . Will there be enough land for all of our collective egos .

World war are great in Call to power. But with 15 people!? That will be pure nuts...

I generally have been adamantly anti-huge map in the past, due to some of the movement rates described in the "Battleship: Around the world in 45 years" thread. But if it is the only way to play 16 civs I will certainly give it another chance.

[dainbramaged13]

no, i definetly think thaty youi will be able to play with however many civs you want on whatever size map... those numbers are just defaults or something, and if theyre not editable in the interface, theybve got to be in the editor or rules.txt...

16 civs that's great news , but for those having a not so fast system - around the minimal requirements, consider seriously upgrading if you want to play regularly the game ( at a reasonable speed on a huge map ). When I changed my machine last year ( from a PII 233/ 80 meg RAM, for a PIII 1000/ 512 meg RAM ), I saw a surprising difference when playing new SMACx games ( latter turns speed up by x5 ) , formers and units moving way more faster next to a former machine which supposedly had the power ( at least more than the minimal requs ). The speed-up upgrade is worth the cost for civ-like games also, not only 3D.

The next question I have is how many players in a MPG game? I hope we could have a better MPG than CIVII's

Just wanted to add that upgrading isn't that expensive either. I bought a P3 1GHz machine about two months ago for $600. I'd say the manufacturer but not sure if it is allowed.

Oh and for all those who might comment about "why buy when you can build", well my job is to support and fix PC's all day, when i get home I'd rather play and not have to tweak and tinker with my set. That's what the three year on-site, next day fix warrantee is for..

[yin26]

The important question still is: Can you have 16 civs on a smaller map?

[monkspider]

Exactly yin, although I surely don't speak for everyone, but I personally would find 16 civs on a normal or maybe large sized map to be ideal. (Movement rates would be too slow for me on Huge maps)

[Sarxis]

Is this a joke?!! This HAS to be some kind of prank!!

Is it true?? CAN IT REALLY BE TRUE??!?!
