UN Earth Maps Pack with TSL

UN Earth Maps Pack with TSL Earth Maps

The starting location bug in the Fall '17 patch prompted me to decide to create my own TSL Earth map in the spirit of the out-of-order map.

I'm happy to share this huge globe ("mapzilla") on a 198x199 United Nations flag map. It is the azimuthal equidistant Earth projection of the North Pole.

It has an appointment. 70% water, the Sahara, the deserts of Arabia and Australia, the Amazon and the African rainforests of Africa and the habitable frozen Antarctica. 198x199.

You need top-notch hardware and a graphics card (with lots of VRAM) (basically a supercomputer). Or turn the graphics settings to minimum.

If you can't play the entire map ("mapzilla") as a consolation, maps of both hemispheres "Top" and "Bottom", "New World", "Ancient World" and "Oceania" are included in the map pack.

For an entry-level gaming machine map generation is:

Hemisphere map ("top" and "bottom"): about 5 minutes.

Ancient World: <4 minutes.

New World: About 2 minutes.

Oceania: about 1 minute.

Save game load: ~1 minute.

TSL (beta)

=========

• Check "Real starting position" from "Advanced Settings".
• For the "top" map, remove all but 5 AI players (base game); remove all but 8 AI (R&F).
• (Recommended) Save the configuration. If you cannot place a civilization, start a new game from a saved configuration. replace that civilization. (See Lua.log or FireTuner console for errors).

(Optional) TSL support for CIVITAS North American City States and TCS South American City States packages ->

Please post any bugs in the discussion or on Steam. Check the Steam link for known issues/bugs.

Developer Note: If you are unable to load the map, please try it in WorldBuilder.

Prompted by the start locations bug in the Fall '17 patch I decided to create my own TSL Earth map in the spirit of the scrambled maps.

I'm very exited to share this ginormous Earth ("mapzilla") at 198x199 of the map on the United Nations flag. It is the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection of Earth from the north pole.

It has approx. 70% water, a Saharan, Arabian & Australian desert, an Amazonian & Subsaharan African rainforest and an inhabitably frozen Antarctica. 198x199.

You'll need top of the line hardware and a graphics card (with lots of VRAM) for it (a supercomputer basically). Or turn your graphics settings to min.
