Starting locations
| # | Difficulty | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Easy | |
| 2 | Hard | Easy access to ample resources makes this a quick start, though extremely limited space may choke your expansion efforts. |
| 3 | Easy | |
| 4 | Easy | Default starting location, recommended for the first playthrough on this map. |
| 5 | Easy | |
| 6 | Medium | This central location offers more buildable area, but an elevated plateau cutting through the region will require factory tetris until you tame it with substantial earthworking. |
| 7 | Medium | |
| 8 | Medium | Alternative starting location for more challenging early-game. |
| 9 | Medium | |
| 10 | Hard | |
| 11 | Hard | |
| 12 | Insane | Captain, getting on top through this ravine looks easier digging from the other side but we have nowhere to build our base! |
Description
This is a 7424x7424 Map 55M Tiles total Size.
This is 6 maps in 1. You could make bridges from the starting island to another island and continue to expand. It is simply an example of what you could do with a very large map size. It does run a bit slow even with my flagship PC, but is still a cool idea overall. Feel free to optimize this and re-publish. I had to remove some starting locations because they would not allow me to use them no matter where I placed them in that area.
General Update -- I have been playing this map for about a week now. It does run smooth for as long the camera angle is not tilted toward the ocean. Overall, the main focus of this is to give an example of the plans and ideas of having a very large map. The only down fall I have noticed is the load times are a bit long. Maybe a few minutes. Personally, I do not mind it too much. As the devs improve the loading times and cache and the RAM usage, maybe by using more of each, the load times may improve over the course of updates. If you want to see anything in particular, maybe an even larger map, I could do so. I would like to fit all maps in '1' map, but it would take a while for a PC pre-render, so it would take me awhile to do that am I am not sure if it would be worth my time. Either way, I hope you all enjoy example #1 and maybe I will make a custom map some day... Just not any time soon...
Feel free to suggest anything you would like to see!
