And then the space part adds quite a lot too. Earth itself is already really huge on this map, it'll take ages just to take over Earth lol. But with some new features in Caveman 2 Cosmos related to memory and the game, it should work a lot better on a wider range of PCs. But the map is massive, and civ 4 sometimes has problems with maps that big (especially on weaker PCs). Space part took me around 12-15 hours of constant work to finish. Mostly what I did was add a huge amount of space to explore, so once one finishes conquering Earth, they can move on to space. Doing the terrain (the initial part of it when designing continents etc) is by far the hardest part, and UEM did that already. I'd say 97% of earth was made by the original creator of UEM, and the other 3% was me adding resources, changing terrain, adding cities and landmarks. Earth is also sort of in an Ice Age, though North America and South America are more warm than other places.Įarth was mostly pre-built with the UEM (ultimate earth map), with some changes to terrain, resources and cities. But other than that, I didn't aim for realism at all. Earth I researched what landmarks go where, and roughly where city placements should go. Added a "space ship" (using terrain and stuff that was available), that houses the 2nd civ.
And Mars being more Earth-like, but none of the planets are really accurate. With two "alien" civs (just used Portugal and the Neanderthals). I didn't make it historic, and space is definitely very fantasy-like. You'll want to install the file to: Documents\My Games\beyond the sword\Saves\WorldBuilder and then select to play a scenario (custom scenario works, if you want to turn on/off features) !sIRV0bAa!VdipD4XGLGX1fk-YB4-_ArDM5SVHeRscyJ5rrLGzHyI The MODDB version won't work with the map however, because it uses new water tiles they introduced so it will cause a crash when loading. I'm 287 turns in, and its still stable for me though. Its huge though (400 tile width, 112 tile height) so not every PC may be able to play on it. If you use SVN revision 9115 (or newer should work too (didn't test it though), but the newest SVN isn't stable right now, and they are releasing updates that will break saves), then this map is really epic. Its really stable (on revision 9115 or the moddb release version), and even more epic than before. While this is an old topic.the mod has updated A LOT since.
