keep on trying. is he ever on

Still couldn't get a response from Twan sadly.

Best map ever. Perfect if you could transfer to dom 6

Hey, could you accept my friend request? I'd like to talk about porting the map to Dom6

this map have been for me very inspired, i made a beautifull map hand made

I was suspecting there was some kind of bug then,since around home castles in range of 2 our search magic spells showed no blood, no death sites (even in deserts, swamp and few mountains). But, we are waiting for our rainbows to wake up and see what we can find then.

thnx.

Provinces wil 3 or more sites set in the map file, the big cities and most special provinces, usually have #killfeatures, which means extra random sites don't appear on them.
But provinces in this cases are fairly rare (something like 2 dozen provinces / about 1400 iirc). Most provinces (even those with one or two preset sites) can also have random ones, you just need to search them.

My son and I have been playing it a while, as Phaecis on my side (with stupid choice of enlargement, så my sacreds cant board ships anymore) and on his side once Abasya and new game as Ulm.

Problem is, besides sites we immediately see when we are near them (like Navigators, sages, arenas etc) there doesnt look to be many (or any?) extra hidden sites available.

Is that intended? Am I missing something? We raised actually the numbe rof sites to 70% with hopes we´ll see some, but to no luck.

Help?

would be great if someone wrote it there. Thanks for updating it. Is awesome. Playing with my son atm.

Old map was just a copy of the Dominions 3 version (ie : not winterized, no provinces shapes set, mountains and border mountains inversed due to terrain numbers having changed, etc...). The only reason to use it over this one I may see is if you have to use Dominions 5 32 bit client (as the winterized map take too much memory and will make the game crash if you don't use the 64 bit client).

whats with old map thats also available here? Is it working? I presume this one is newer and updated version. Looks awesome. Ill play with my son.

Thanks for converting this map, I enjoy it very much.

Province 982 has a typo in the name. "Old [Powers Caverns"

Province 837 appears to be farmland + woods, but only has the farmland terrain type.

really save me from burning out on my fav game, thanks. id love some special versions if u every get around to messing with maps again

YES! downloading asap and trying an all faction ma sceleria on this. have you ever thought or doing the Glory of the Gods map from dominions iv? thanx for your work!!

mhm has anyone figured out a way to cluster players on a map in a disciple game like have the teams be at least 10 providence away.

turns are less then a minute. the only map i use. fantastic and thank you.

It's strange there should be 10 or so allowed start locations in caves normally, there was none before but I added them for this version (and at least some should be working as I remember I did start in cave testing the map with Lanka).

Every time i try to play a cave nation i start above ground after a somewhat longer than normal loading screen.

Does anyone known if this map works well with llamaserver? I know Latus works, but this is way larger than latus, so I'm scared llama might not run it in the late game

This map's size is epic, and is very fun to play. At first I thought the overall color of the map was a bit too blue/green, but after playing for a rather long time, that feeling has gone away. I have experienced a single rather long turn, something around thirty minutes long battle resolution, but the next turn was the standard 5 minutes. I assume it was just due to some mythically large battle on some far corner of the map I don't have vision of. But other than that, thank you, this map made my gaming experience much more enjoyable.

wow this is so large... I spend about 4 hours/turn on a 250 provinces map late game.....

wow ... thank you

Reported the problem in bug thread in case devs can do something about it. They'll certainly like to know what are your specs and game settings, both for those encountering problems to continue games on this map and for those who could play long games on it without encountering such problems.

Possibly as the 64 bit client is still experimental they'll find some optimization but there's certainly no workaround, map is just too huge.

Annoying. Map was playing fine in Dom3/4 but seems province areas for winterization really use a lot of memory. How much memory do your pcs have ?

Ending a turn will take 20 minutes in singleplayer

Needs more provinces. Jokes aside usually cant load the map after saving due to its massive size eating up too much memory. Sometimes bigger can be too big.

Works fine on loading and played for a solid 4+ hours. Crashes after loading from save. Any work around???

That is beatiful map. Too bad I can only play it from home.
@algathetod, I had random maps with 1500 provinces, if it not crashing on generation then it's playable on the same PC.

I really like the new color palette! good job on that

Awesomesauce. Been playing your map since I found it when playing D3. Honestly, it's the only map I play on now.

Normally yes. Haven't tested a long game on it since dom3 era, but I remember I could play until owning 200+ provinces and getting bored by too huge empire. Out of that mostly depends of the number of active nations, and who they are (avoid freespawn nations naturally, Dominions has an overpopulation system killing the lowest value units to avoid the game to reach game maximum number of units so normally games shouldn't end in crashes because of that, but I wouldn't trust it too much).

1250+ provinces? oooh. Is Does it still playable after 10 turns ?

This map is epic. Best I've played so far.
