should i scale resources with player size (VP)?

this is edited version of the original Giant Map. You have to copy and paste over.

bruh i've done every instructions and yet when i try to play. It is still same YnaeMP map not the cookie version.

@JP what do you mean "new game"? Are you using the custom map option? If you use 43 civ DLL the max city states you will ever get is 63-43 = 20.

Also yes the CS that get loaded are random but they should be at their True Start Locations. There are more # of CS than 41.

Has anyone managed to fix the issue of City States in game being random (the number and which CS)

Regardless of who I select as the player list (max 20), if I start the new game again and again it's always a random number of CS that gets loaded (Note: Max I set it to is 41).

This is TSL settings.

oh of course, I failed to read the description, now it works

did you turn off the resource placement options in the custom map?

tough, I can even configure the map and all that but when I press start game, it loads for a moment, the background music flickers out and then it immediately crashes to desktop

have spent the last hour turning off any mod in the collection that could be bad (extra civs, resources, city states etc) and still it doesn't work

Sapiens mod should work with this and YNAEMP just like with VP. I would not use the DLL mods from YNAEMP because Gaia/Sapiens has their own DLL.

what steps do I have to make to have this work with the new Sapiens series of mods?

Thanks so much for this - your instructions were detailed and easy to follow - and the results make for a better game experience.

leave them off if you play this with Voxpopuli mod

Can i enable the Resource Distribution Options in the Setup or must i leave them off?

Thx

custom game selection, not the new game

i have done everything the instructions have said and i still cannot select the map when i go to create a new game please help

Thanks sir!

yes you have to manually change the (1) CP - Worldchanges.sql & (2) balance changes - Worldsizes.sql mindistancecity values to '2'

Hi! is there a way to found a city in 2 tiles with Vox Populi mod (vp not allows within 4 tiles). Maybe to change something in xml files ?

max CS so 41? I believe. You can ignore the resource options if you want to. When play with the Vox Populi mod you MUST not check any box related to resources or game crash.

How many City States are recommended for this? Also, can i ignore the Resource Options in the Setup Menu? Thx

this mod/map does not work with "more than 22 civs" mod/setting. You need to find on Civfanatics a revised version of Gedemon YNAEMP to play with more than 22 civs + Community Patch.

Not sure if its a bug, but i cant play this with the community patch beyond 22 civs. If i turn that mod off, I can add more civs, but I lose all the city-states

I think the original earth map pack has always had issues with aluminum distribution.

I don't add custom civs/cs to the map. Maybe you can ask someone on civfanatics forum for help. It is possible.

well, they can be randomly chosen by AI player though. it means these civs did exist in game but can't be select manually.

@CookieMagic Hey cookie, I've been facing a problem with getting my civs mods work with this map. I use this map with VP and add few of civs mods for VP. However they can't be chosen in the advanced option of custom game. How to fix it?

This map doesn't change anything related to the mod, just copy paste over the map in Gedemon mod is good. Turn OFF this mod though on the mod menu because this is not a true mod. Also imo v22 is what I based my map on as it is the last version released by Gedemon. If you look at the comments for v25, it has other issues that maybe JFD can help fix for you.

Hey Cookie, I always enjoyed this map the most and wanted to play it again.
But it does not seem to work with v25 of Gedemon's YnAEMP?
Once I follow the install instructions with v25, I receive a broken custom game menu.
Is there a way to make it work?

Got another question. I prefer your map but I keep getting the maps from YnAEMP's mod when I create a custom game. I don't see where your map is listed either.

You have to run this map via the Custom Game option, not from Set Up game.

So, I downloaded this map along with the other mods noted as being required to run it. There are NO resources on this map. I've looked over the instructions given, and have gone looking for the Mods folder... I am finding none. Not a clue what to do from this point forward. :(

The civ cap is 22 and cs cap is 41. These settings work fine for me in the custom game menu. If you have the 43 civ dll on the cs cap is 20. There can only be a maximum of 63 "civs" in a game. Civ5 game limitation.

I am sorry I got it. Another question though, how can I increase the number of city states. The cap it is giving me is 20 in custom game menu.

you can use this map with Vox Populi + more resources submod of that mod. However, you have to turn off the 'TSL strategic resource placement' and other TSL resource pre-placement options or map will crash at start. Also turn off 43 civ dll and dll leader fix if use VP.

Will this map add the additional resources from Vox Populi or is everything pre-allocated?

you mean no aluminum at all or less than usual? Gedemon wrote the original resource code but I did not change any resource placement related to Aluminum.

In the late game there was no available aluminum on the map. Please help. My settings were the historic resource location and the rich deposits of strategic resources without a scale for them.

yes it does

Does this support modded civs the same way YnAEMP does?

quick update adding restrictions to Greenland and Antarctica regions. Add back in 3 city states Bogota, Vilnius, and Wellington TSL. also add in the extra cs tsl from the unique cs modmod for vox populi.

And congratulations on finishing your PhD

Awesome, I was surprised when I saw an update.

Finally have some time after finishing my PhD, so I'm happy to share the updated files for Gedemon Giant Map mod. This update mostly is about making resources for the major civs and on different continents more unique and realistic to True Earth.

thank you!!!! I hope to revise this map again some time in the future using Europa Universalis 4 is a model

By far the best map of the world I've seen. Puts the vanilla ones to shame. Great job

no you can't play as a CS, except with Venice you essentially have a fun game as a CS-esque game with many fun ways to expand in Europe and Africa.

Is it possible to start with a city state?

Works fine

I got it. I had to disable some of the mods that I was told supported this mod when I subscribed to it. I think one of the them conflicted with another mod or something. IDK. All good now, thanks.

productions? you mean bonus/luxury resources?
