I do not see exploits. Anyway, Turkey is neutral, so the region is secured.

Did you change the Crimea peninsula?

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Yeah, I don't understand these exploits either, please explain.

Vlad: Alright from what I read, you are going to shrink the USA mainland (Thank God). I have only question: One provinces per state?

 

[Crush3r]

I don't think 1 prov/state is enough. The provinces would be too big. An average of 2/state would be ok.

 

[unmerged(105771)]

For states such as Texas, yeah 2 or 3 provinces should work very well.

 

[The Great Duck]

I suggest we leave the merging of the provinces for now and see how much ids are really going to be used first.

 

[unmerged(12303)]

maybe this was already asked but 200 pages is a lot too look at soo..

anybody knows how much games will slow down due to the map getting so big?

 

[Amallric]

The map is not getting bigger what are you speaking about?

 

[unmerged(12303)]

hmm its not? maybe not in terms of format - but there are many more provinces that should slow the game down no? the map file itself will be bigger. Doesnt that have any effect?

 

[Crush3r]

No, the map will have the same size (=no. of pixels). It will only be more detailed, but that doesn't change the size of the map file.

How will the map get any bigger if there is limited number of ID's??? Think about it.

The file will get bigger with more detail, because the map is compressed, and a smooth 32x32 pixel block only takes around 6 bytes

yea thats my thought - the more detail - the more provinces the bigger the files, not only the map, but ALL the files that pertain to the map - province.csv to the nation setup files...
but it seems none thought about that yet so i guess nobody tested?
how many extra "free" ids were there before one has to merge territories to get new ids?

 

[The Great Duck]

40.

 

[unmerged(12303)]

ugh thats bad....

seeing this map:

a lot must have been scrapped in africa, americas..?

 

[Crush3r]

Polar regions and impassable desert regions will be merged.

The ridiculous nr. of provinces in the US will be dropped down.

This is the Eastern Europe Enhancement Mod. The map is intended to provide better battles in Europe, especially the balkans, Germany, Benelux is not bad either. Russia is quite bad represented, France too, the Caucasus too...but ut's not the aim of the mod.

I do not think that other regions are bad, they are similar to vanilla, even better with increased number of provinces.

And map cannot be tested while not existing.

 

[Amallric]

Vanilla does not represent very well some places either...I do not intend to critisize your mod but only to explain what is its aim.
