10/10, great giant map for all ages

Its an amazing map. I'm tempted to use this in games outside of Dominions.

beautiful map

There is - a couple of provinces have magical connections so you can teleport there.

I've gotta know, what's up with province 332 "JBrere's Levity", and is there any way to get there?

I really like this map. Well done! Great creation, and thanks for sharing it with the community.

Hmm that's going to be tricky. I mean the map should technically fit into the memory of a 32-bit process, but it very much depends on the application. At one point I can make a scaled down version but this is a nontrivial amount of work so I can't say when (or if) that'll happen.

@SleepingPills : through Steam, the 64-bit version is launched and no crashes occur, but I need a 32-bit version

@sowd: Oh dear. Does it happen also when starting through steam? We found that for large maps, starting through Steam does some Gaben magic.

crashes on a 32 bit version of the game =(

@SleepingPills thanks for the tip, my partner was hosting the game locally and loading it outside steam. Works for him too now :)

@new2earth: you have to start the game through steam to load these big maps. I don't why - maybe it needs Gaben's magic touch. It's the same whether you have 4gb or 128gb Ram (I tried both).

Started a game with this map, but game keeps crashing when loading it again. It's complaining about memory etc. Very unfortunate since it's really awesome! The map is much bigger than other maps I've used before. Any idea what is happening?

Honking is a state of mind.

10/10 would honk in the honking sea again.

You need wraparound for most MP games because hard borders tend to have an overall detrimental impact on game balance and fun. If you spawn in a corner you can very quickly be boxed in with no possible expansion only because there's physically no space for you on two sides. It can also lead to the opposite outcome where the hard border completely removes all threats from two directions. The wraparound was not chosen lightly, but after countless unfun MP games.

For what it's worth, you can just open up the map in the editor, rewire some connections and turn off wraparound. It's like a 5 minute job.

Map looks cool. Wraparound maps bother me though. If you end up putting up a non wrap around version, I would certainly check it out. Good job though either way.

We haven't established any recommended counts... the water areas are sized to accomodate 3-4 UW nations at most. Honestly 3 is probably going to be enough. The whirlpools connect each sea to the others and allow for sneak attacks or expansion. 10-12 land nations and 3 UW nations should be feasible I believe with the province count.

Btw, I'm seeing dom status just fine? Maybe it's less visible in winter...

Thanks for the comments. I fixed the wonky connections. Only port provinces (signified by a lighthouse) are supposed to be connected, not caves. #53 was an anomaly.

And yes the names are of famous discord users :)

Very Nice!

Couple of quick comments:
Seems to NOT show the dominion status on the map.

Province #53 looks like it is supposed to be part of the cave network, but instead its neighbor 62 is connected to the other caves.

Thanks!

are those toponyms made after names of dominions discord users

Looks beautiful - thanks!

What is the recommended number of thrones & land/water nations?
