dont stress people here plz or spamm the forum, u can support by help modding ok?

**Cymera** · January 22, 2007, 03:18 PM

I'll answer the way every modder does, it will be ready when it is ready, if u want this to be a labor of creativity and quality, then just have some patience im sure Ramm has a life too and cannot devote all his time to modding. Just try and be patient k?

Im currently maping as best and fast as I can but for 2.0 it seems that you'll have your so wished bigmap. For now Im working on accuracy about regions, names and a few more settlements but that wont be a mess, dont worry. I'll make it just more epic and funny (well I hope so ^^) without using bigmap

Be patient ppl !

All that is missing is map... and map just has more reasons so...

just use regionsmod + RTJlite and it works Great!

**Rammstein** · January 23, 2007, 02:43 PM

I will release it as soon as its available dont worry, it will be called 2.01 Big Map not full anymore

**aion2006** · January 23, 2007, 03:21 PM

Well, I thought big map was good till I those AI had some trouble.

Hope you test it out first and see how it'll work out. I had 50 turns with no factor being at war on very hard setting being silicy. Nor was there any Crusade btw unless I call it.

**Rammstein** · January 23, 2007, 03:24 PM

new ultimate Ai 1.2 will also be included

**Cymera** · January 23, 2007, 03:54 PM

Well, bigmap seems to have a bad rep cause of the AI's difficulty with it. You may want to use a different map mod Ramm, there have been suggestions made about different mods somewhere here.

**aion2006** · January 23, 2007, 04:18 PM

please give a feedback from the bigmap with rtj ram or cymera. I didnt have a good exprience but no way I'm gonna use any other mod beside RTJ

**Cymera** · January 23, 2007, 04:23 PM

O i have not used it, i just read what others saw, i am mostly looking at EDB file.

I used BigMap 0.8 with Ultimate AI 1.0 and can confirm that the AI did have some trouble with it. However, the initial "peace" was a welcome change from Vanilla and things only started heating up once the factions had clearly aligned through alliances. When there were no more Rebel territories to take, war broke out, which was very realistic. Much, much better than Vanilla where war breaks out with a backstab from an ally on turn 5.

I'll be testing RTJ 2.1 BigMap and post my observations when it comes out.

I've also thoroughly tested the Royal Arms map used in RTJ 1.1 and, while it is a decent map, it gets way too crowded and the chokepoints are all but impassable. If there were only a happy medium between BigMap and Vanilla - say 50% instead of 100% increase in size - then we might see something interesting.

I'd say it's worth testing BigMap even though there might be the risk of the AI being a bit weird and taking a long time to complete turns later on in the game. Vanilla and the Royal Arms map in 1.1 are just not an option for me.
