Ludicrously large Earth map mod comes to Civ VI

Gedemon's Ludicrously large Earth map has come to Civilization VI, bringing a 230x115 hex map to the game with geographically accurate start locations for most civilizations. This mod will also bring several popular Earth maps to the game, like Genghis Kai's GEM, NiRv4n4's Europe map as well as Gedemon's Giant Earth map.

This mod will also allow up to 50 Civilizations to play against each other at once, but only on Gidemon's Giant and Ludicrous Earth Maps, with the modder already successfully running a 32 Civ game for over 14 hours using his Ludicrous Earth map without crashing. Below is a feature list for Gedemon's Yet not Another Maps Pack for Civilization 6.

Features:

Giant map size (180x94) for all map script

Ludicrous Map Size (230x115) for all map script

Allows to set more than 50 Civilizations at those two sizes

A conversion of Genghis Kai's GEM (Hormigas version)

A conversion of NiRv4n4's Europe(Hormigas version)

A conversion of Greatest Earth Map by djvandyke

Culturally Linked Start Locations for all maps

True Starting Locations for some maps and Civilization (to be completed)

Add Ethnicity entries for City States and the forgotten Aztec.

This mod/map pack is in Alpha and as such has bugs and that the pack "needs to be tested" by the Civilization community. The mod comes with the following warning.

WARNING : The giant map is already way above the size of the huge map, it may or may not load on your PC (and will take some time to do so), the Ludicrous map is the max map size before the game refuse to load, and will take more than 4-5 minutes to load (or crash). I'd suggest to lower the textures size in the video option, the game use almost all the 6GB of VRAM of my GPU.



I'm not releasing this mod blindly, the Ludicrous size has been tested on a 500 turns game in autoplay with 32 civs without crash on my computer (CPU : i7 4770K, RAM: 16GB, GPU : GTX 980 ti), but I have no idea of the minimal configuration for this.



Some data from this test (continent, standard time):

- total time to reach turn 240 : 03h30, 1 turn takes ~2mn at this point

- total time to reach turn 475 : 14h30, 1 turn takes ~4mn at this point





known bug: Culturally Linked Location fail when too many Civilization are placed (still work at ~30)

Installation instructions for Gedemon's Civilization VI map pack is available on the Civ Fanatics Forum here.

Please note that this map pack requires a very high-end system in order to run properly, though even then the game will take a long time to calculate AI turns. On Gedemon's system with an i7 4770K and a GTX 980Ti the time between turns could be over two minutes in the mid-game, which means that this mod is going to put an extremely heavy load on your system.
