What is the best Civ V map type?
Anything with less ocean.
>>333888754
The game is designed around continents. Unless you're polynesia.
>>333888754
Tilted Axis.
I really like Ynaemp though
>>333888754
Why is Africa so fucking small?
I like large islands or small continents.
>>333889243
...it isn't?
>>333888754
I like small continents the most because I'm a coastfag and don't like having neighbors that can take my potential territory. I play tall, too, so having land-grabbing neighbors seriously fucks me.
>>333889105
>clusterfuck of oasis
fuck off
Reminder that map maximum size has gotten smaller and smaller since Civ 3
Reminder that Civ 4 BtS was the last good Civ game
Reminder that Civ BERT was, to put it lightly, a horrible disappointment.
Reminder that Sid Meiers sucks fat dick.

Because africa is boring.
Ynaemp is based on Ghenghis Kais giant earth map from Civ4 and he created that map based on areas of interest, not a map projection.
>>333889528
What are you talking about?
Continents. Land travel is shit past early game.
>>333889557
Civ V BNW is the best Civilization game to ever exist. Hell, I'd go so far as to say it's the best 4x.
BERT is just Civ V with less content, disgusting color palettes, and shitty win conditions.
If I hosted a lobby in this, both expansions, would people join?
>>333889243
>Afrocentrists still believe that bullshit myth about fitting all those countries in Africa
It really isn't that big.

Civ 5 with the Community Patch Project (hugely improved AI, huge balance changes including reworked Happiness system so you can actually go wide, new city-state system where you can no longer buy influence but have to create diplomat units + new CS quests, civ IV diplomacy features, more luxuries, enhanced UI) is probably the best civ experience
>>333889557
Huge:
>civ3: 12800
>civ4: 10240
>civ5: 10240
With specific maps and mods you can exceed that though, ynaemp is at 16920 for example
>>333890128
>so you can actually go wide
You already can go wide.
>>333888754
I ALWAYS START IN FUCKING SOUTH AMERICA!!!
>>333890302
Going wide in non-modded Civ V is absolutely retarded. Your science is cut almost in half, it takes forever to get a new social policy, and if you don't get the Notre Dame, you can kiss any golden age good bye until the Atomic Era.
There shouldn't be a happiness penalty for founding new cities. That's absolutely retarded. Ditto for conquering cities. It makes no sense to have riots in your capitol because you took the city of someone who tried invading you.
>>333890302
Not without unhappiness + a lack of science + a lack of culture bringing you down
Not only does CPP adjust the warmonger penalties but the main two policy trees are rebalanced (as it's a rebalance of the whole game) into a choice between tall or wide (Liberty renamed to Progress)
Is Venice fun to play?
>>333892630
Can be. I would suggest a smaller map.
>>333892630
>sit in a corner and trade with everyone
>hope no one DoW's you
>Diplomatic victory
if this sounds fun then yes
>>333891327
>it takes forever to get a new social policy
>a lack of culture bringing you down
Yet somehow when I play wide I still top #policies unless Poland is in the game.
Probably because I cheese it and build monuments.
Can anyone tell me if this is real or just a bizarre dream I had? I have a vague memory of spawning Francis Ford Coppola as a great person and then generating Apocalypse Now as a great work. I can't find him (or indeed any other filmmakers) on the wiki, so was it real?
>>333892630
Against settler bots yes.
Everywhere else? No.
>>333889105
>>333888754
Mind liking to the download for both of these?
>>333891327
>>333890128
I haven't dabbled in large overrhauls because then I end up getting confused by mechanical changes when I don't use them, iis there a more conservative mod with the same idea that just addresses the few core things as minimally as possible
>>333895107
Yes, I don't have the big overhaul mods either, because they're essentially creating a new game. I just got a mod that cut penalties for expansion in half. Just look up happiness in the mod section.
I also got a mod that makes war monger hatred go down every turn, so even if you completely wipe an asshole out, you'll only be hated for 25-30 turns after.
>>333895337
link to both?
>>333889243
Miller Projection. They wanted to capture the feel of that map projection instead of the actuality of landmass.
They should make Civ 6 a hex globe, IMO. I've been waiting for someone to go with a globe in a 4X for a while.
>>333890128
Still not as good as Civ 4 + mods like FFH2 or RoM
>>333895571
I just hope they don't fuck up Civ 6.
I have around 500 hours of Civ V singleplayer, but I currently only get enjoyment out of playing Civ from player 6 player FFA with NQ mod and pangaea map. Going back to singleplayer sounds awful.
>>333888754
Pangea is the most fun. Having everyone aware of each other at the very start of the game makes for great diplomatic drama.
>>333896107
ha
it's going to be shit
>>333896678
Even worse than Beyond earth.
>>333888754
Pangaea or Continents Plus
>>333896676
I've found that in big landmass maps, the first guy who manages to get the jump on someone else and assimilates their capital and one or two cities gets a huge advantage
>>333888754
Hellblazer's NQ Pangaea Map

>Not liking Civ V
Granted, base Civ V was kinda lack luster, but everything was fixed in the expansions. Hexes > squares
>>333890103
Africa is fucking massive mate, don't downsize an entire continent just because you don't like people from there
>>333895571
>They should make Civ 6 a hex globe, IMO. I've been waiting for someone to go with a globe in a 4X for a while.
A few tiles will have to be pentagons and you'll need some irregular adjustments for cities near those points.
Not sure what you can do about combat.
Could just leave it in as a somewhat interesting mechanical thing.
A city with just 5 adjacent tiles should be easier to defend.
Maybe it 1 extra tile beyond those 5 will have to count as adjacent. Just like the city gets extra workable tiles.

What's that one mod, Rocks to rockets or whatever it's called?
>>333898915
Caveman 2 Cosmos is the main mod, Rocks to Rockets is a mod for that mod.
I tried playing Civ 4, but the UI is horseshit.
