Request: add a bigger map size option once new dlc arrives (bigger than luducruis)!

What hardware do you have that you can think you can reliably run much larger maps with AIs on them?

@Skadidesu, my hardware. It’s expensive – it doesn’t struggle with Ludicrous.

Giant is 240, Ludi is 480. We need sizes of say 320 and 400 in between. Call them “Colossus” and “Titan”.

@DukeOfLorraine, if I could rewrite the relevant code, I’d have the user able to drag the map size to a size that they like, like one can to an application window, and vaguely similar to what

@Skadidesu

In AoE3 you can just chose the hight and width of a map independently and you can take any number you want up to 1024x1024.

describes.

@DukeOfLorraine

2x larger in one dimension so 4x more area, 4x heavier on the hardware.

I would also change AoE to warn the user if they have designated the map to be too large for their hardware to reliably cope with (this would be fairly trivial to determine).

Add a box displaying the size of the map (length × width), if it exceeds 60k (a bit more than the size of giant) put a small warning. Let players judge themselves, accounting for hardware would be excessively complicated.
