Larger Map?

[vartan]

If I recall correctly, the team has announced the size of the map will increase with approximately 30%. The amount of provinces would (again IIRC) stay the same. So yes, the map itself is probably bigger.

The map itself would still take up the same (maximum) size, wouldn't it? It would simply mean a smaller scale size.

The map is around 1/3 bigger in absolute size than in EB, but covers the same area of the world (roughly). Sorry if that is what you meant I'm a little confused by you post.

So resolution-wise the picture is larger. But the coverage of the globe is roughly the same, yes?

I'm pretty sure, yes.

Does this mean it will take longer to travel from one city to another?

Don't see why it should. Rate of movement is easily modifiable.

Indeed. The globe coverage is roughly the same but the scaling is different (as there are more pixels on the higher-res map). Just means that one needs to apply a multiplying factor to the original movement points from EB (if that's what a modder must do).

I know I should post this in the Mod forum but I can hardly hijack my own thread.

How exactly do I increase the movement of dudes on the main map? Its getting frustrating moving my Sweboz generals into the steppes by foot.

[Moros]

yes.

Correct.
