This works brilliantly on Mac Monterey. Also, combined with your other mod of having the whole map visible, it actually becomes brilliant to study it all on marathon pace, you can effectively see it all grow
Take some screenshots of the bottom right map over the course of your whole game to get a timelapse.

The fact that these maps are so incredibly large means the resolution of the minimap actually starts to look pretty good.

@ Folio_Nov9m: I'm just writing to let you know it's probably going to be a while before I can get to this. Lately I've had a lot of computer problems. In fact I've barely been on Steam since May. Hopefully in the next few weeks or months I can get my computers most working again and reinstall Civ 5, but I'd have to look at the issue to see what you're talking about. In the meantime . . . you may need to play around with the settings. Or go to the Civ Fanatics forums, maybe here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/forums/civ5-technical-support.409/

Thanks for the mod!
Could you help me please?
If I choose map type = continent, it works fine. But continent plus has default size =(

"so you'll just need to play on a Huge map to use it."
hmmm...

"I can't find mods wich give me more Founder"
if you use vp, maybe there is something like that on civfanatics vp forum.

@Gubernator: Here's what Breadbeard wrote on December 14:

@Iconian, I really love that I finally can use more religions. My only problem is, that I can't find mods wich give me more Founder (10 in Game) and improvement (9 in game) beliefs. Without at least 16 founder beliefs it is impossible to create all 16 religions. I'm stuck on 10.

@Arieviloj: And you did click to activate it, right?

If so, note that this mod isn't an actual map, nor does it add additional map sizes. It just changes the settings of Huge maps, so you'll just need to play on a Huge map to use it.

Or can you specifically say in which file you changed the number of religions, I just searched and couldn't find it. The size of the map affects the number of religions, but there seems to be only 7 maximum for a huge map. Yes, and this is your description of the settings, I don't quite understand why you are not sure that everything works on them

@Iconian Yes. But not on map setup or advaced setup.

@Gubernator
This mod just changes the default values for the Huge map size, so all I did was just change the number of religions that could be supported. However, according to one or two others that posted on this thread, because the mod doesn't increase the number of founder beliefs as well, 16 religions might not actually be able to be founded. Sometime I may try to figure out how to change the number of founder beliefs, but I've been pretty busy lately. But according to that other person, I believe the Race for Religion mod may provide 16 founder beliefs.

@Arieviloj
Does Iconian's Really Huge Map Size Mod appear in your mod list when you go to the mods screen?

How did you increase the maximum number of religions? By the way, 22 major civilizations are vanilla, not a mod indicator, but 16 religions are a really interesting achievement of fashion

@Iconian this one> https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2955576463

Do you have any other mods you're using?

The map just won't load. I subscribed and re-subscribed several times, it downloads but doesn't show up in game setup.

It doesn't modify the dll, only some stuff in the CIV5Worlds.xml file. I don't know what Artificial Unintelligence would have to do with it. There might be some kind of setting the AI looks at and expects to be within a certain range? That would be my best guess.

Quick Question: It's not mentioned in the description, but is mod is a dll mod?

I noticed that this mod didn't actually change the map size when I used it with my normal mods. I looked at it and found it didn't work when I used it with Artificial Unintelligence mod which is also an dll mod and i don't think there would be conflict between the 2 since your mod is a map mod and Art Unint is an AI mod.

I'm pretty busy right now with preparing to move and other stuff, but I'll try to get to this at some point. It sounds like it might take me quite a bit of work to figure out how to do it.

I have to use all of them to increase the beliefs.

Hi Breadbeard, you gave a list of 6 different mods you used for your testing. Did you end up needing all those mods, or are there just one or two that helped? Originally you wrote, "I can't find mods wich give me more Founder (10 in Game) and improvement (9 in game) beliefs." Which mod or mods actually let you increase the number of beliefs?

Did the test, worked all fine and smooth but 2 civ had no chance to enhance their Religion. Bad thing: the enhancer beliefs run out-->good thing: doesn't break game 'cause next great prophets doesn't have upgrade option.
Only 2 enhancer beliefs needed to do this.

However: Reform Beliefs are doable.

In Sum: works great, Bonus looks like it uses leftovers from Pantheon&Follower (thats why I read 3 times Follower in some civs), just 2 things needed, will enjoy the game with your great mod now. Good day :)

Sooooo, got bit busy while study but today I finally testet a game with following mods:

Race for Religion (BNW)
FussyBadgers Religious Beliefs Mod
gateboy6's Beliefs
Gizzards' Tourism Belief Pack
Religious Society of Friends
Israel New Beliefs

In the end (sadly I used a map with only 4 religions, will do it right with 16 later), I got more than enough pantheons (so that you can give each civ a bonus too but one is a Placeholder), 28 founder beliefs, 47 follower beliefs (but I think you need 48 for 16 civs with 3 follower beliefs each, one looks like placeholder), 15 enhancer beliefs and 17 reform beliefs.
I will test what happens when you have a full game with 16 religions when you need 2 pantheon beliefes (start and bonus), 1 founder , 3 follower (I'm curious why 3 civs in my old game got 3), 1 enhancer and 1 reform.
For now it looks like only 1 follower and 1 enhancer is needed, but I couldnt find it atm.
Hope that helps, I'll be back, good night and a grat day.

Oh, so Race for Religion actually helped you? That's cool, and kind of surprising actually, but glad it helped.

Go and ahead and post them here if you get it working right. And if you do, I'll go one further and try to figure out if I can incorporate whatever gets it working into my mod too :)

Thank you, it helped alot. I finally got enough Beliefes to create all religions but I'm currently on a Test run to look if it is working. If all will run smoothly, am I allowed to release a list of them here in the Comments or an a Discussion thred on your Mod Site?

I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the belief system, and at this point in fact I've pretty much given up on modding Civ 5. You might want to check out the mod Race for Religion--I don't think it's quite what you're looking for, but perhaps it help you get closer. But there only seem to be a small number of still people interested in the game, and that combined with the difficulties and annoyances of modding . . . well, I've moved on to greener pastures.

Sorry about that.

@Iconian, I really love that I finally can use more religions. My only problem is, that I can't find mods wich give me more Founder (10 in Game) and improvement (9 in game) beliefs. Without at least 16 founder beliefs it is impossible to create all 16 religions. I'm stuck on 10.


(I tried it with many other mods which should not influence this one, but I will try it without other ones later)

If you read this before I write again I would be very grateful for a feedback

@Iconian
I tried it with worldbuilder, but it doesn't seem to work. Let me know if there might be a special trick to it, as I remember there's an east asia map which is 150x130

I don't know for sure, as I've never used Worldbuilder. I imagine it would, but if you find differently feel free to post about it here :)

Does this mod work with worldbuilder?

Use this mod in concert with my my mod "Iconian's Reveal Map." Start up a game and look at the minimap and you should immediately know if it's working.

Hard to tell if it is working. I do not know how to check map size once started
Activated mod chose Huge Continents 18 civs 18 city states and within 10 turns have made contact with 3 other civs and 2 city states -
Maybe just bad luck ?

@Birbmen: I've used it with lots of other mods and it's worked. What mod are you using it with?

doesnt work with other mods

You're welcome!

Thank you for this !!

I created a tall version of this mod. Doing it yourself is pretty easy. Probably the easiest way would be to directly edit your XML files.

@slohaza: You would have to create your own mod . . . or I could do it actually :) It should only take a minute.

I love this mode. I have no problems so far. Is it possible to have a choice of making my own choice of World size, like Civ2 used to have, ie. a very tall World or a very long one?

I have 8 gb RAM and 64 bit laptop and I'm on turn 138 right now in a Marathon speed game. It's perhaps slightly slow. Actually it would be nice to hear others' experiences with it.

I'm curious. You have been able to play until which turn? Bcuz inna 32 bit/4g Ram maximum used memory game, this map sounds like a lagged CTD mod.
