We have already a Europe map (https://wl.widelands.org/maps/europe/) - which should of course not stop you from making another one.

I'm having a little different approach to the style. Also my version will contain no bridges so that it's possible to colonize ex Iceland. The other Europe map seem to have resources distributed evenly across the map while mine will be more geographically accurate. Which might be little unbalanced but I'm fine with that, I think it will be interesting as weapons and tools might need to travel larges distances to support the front lines. Thanks for clarifying about my concerns. The length of play does not concern me. Although the RAM issues does a little. People saying it can take up to 6 GB to run after 24 hours. Although I will continue creating the map and release it when finished if people are interested Top Quote |

Of course, more maps with different focuses are always desirable. Other players have other interests, and so your map will surely be played often. The bridges in the other map were made because expeditions have not yet been possible at that time.

wl-zocker, I would be interested if you played this old europe map with an actual version. I also played it long time ago and I agree, it took too long until one could meet someone. The problem was, that at the point of first encounter I was already very much too strong for the AI. But I heard that some changes were made on the AI. Would the AI develop now stronger on a large map? I still hadn't the possibility to test a newer version than build 18. Top Quote |

@dershrimp: I have only played it once, and that was some time ago. I think I got bored in the meantime and therefore I did not even finish that game. I had to wait for my soldiers to arrive, which took hours (literally), and I could not speed the game up much. These are the reasons why I will probably never again play on such a large map. @Holloweye: Your maps looks very nice so far.

Hey, the map looks very good (those parts that are done), but I just noticed - where is Great Britain? Top Quote |
