I think that's right. Even though the X=Y in vanilla, since each dX is (in one way of thinking) _in practice_ longer than dY, it's closer to cylindrical projection.
I also agree that the maps seem to be sectors rather than a whole globe, but that's having thought a bit too long and deeply about what is a fancy Chessboard. (XP).
Your idea re: square is a solid one, though I think this mod is in a pretty good place. I likely won't make changes anytime soon, unless its to squash a bug. I have other mods which need making.

but if we speak of a cylindrical sphere projection, it makes the vanilla more accurate?
if we mod to equalize the length of x and y, wed be having something like a sector of gladius, instead of the whole planet.
the maps are kinda small and dont make sense as the whole planet.
so maybe this mod is one bit better. it just might need some visual aid, to appear more square.
what do you think about that?

Hey, Ix, thanks for clearing that up for me.

My closest interaction with Proxy Studios:
I once wrote a joke on Proxy Studios' public Discord, and "Rok" (a dev) reacted to it with a laugh. I cherish that emoji.

I think this is a solid "quality-of-life/play" mod. If I could, I'd rotate the hex-grid with my ratios 90-degrees. That way, we'd get equitable ratios with a map which looked like a standard Earth projection (wider > tall)!

I prefer these ratios. Without them, the maps feel crowded along the left & right sides, empty along the top & bottom. So I hear you! For now, convince your players to sub to my mod (=P). If I reach a 100 subs or something I might feel brave enough to bug the professionals about this little weekend project (XD).


I really appreciate the comment, though, it made me happy!

hell...
once again...
have you suggested to the devs to change the game, according to what you have described in here? it is a flaw of the game and it needs to be fixed for everyone.

im talking just for the map size part of your mod

excellent mod, thanks!
