That's what I thought.

Why only 34 players? That's so last year.

You recruit us 50, we'll do 50.

Spam this around...

All the civ sites!

And maybe reddit

Also, if instead of that supposed map of japan/geographical area idea, we just use a normal map, a 50 player game would have the following sorts of numbers for map size.

Assume 150 land tiles per player.
Assume 50/50 water land split (so a bit more water than PB18, closer to hte amount in PB13).

That's 300 tiles per player, for 15,000 tiles total.

The Torusworld map script (for generating the right size map) only goes up to 124 tiles per dimension, which basically means that need 120 tiles on the opposite dimension. That is to say, that the Torusworld mapscript probably needs editing to give us the dimensions we need for the map, and even then we're looking at a map that is at least three times larger than any used before.

It's probably wiser to use an all land map if we go over 35 players ie a highland type map that was used in PB15 (but with a bit more space, closer to 175 tiles per player than 150 but with a much much lower water percentage).

Fuck reddit. Not reddit. We can probably hit 40 just off the current community. If we haven't burnt out everyone already just on 18.

Pretty sure Brick's mix-and-pick method with his cut and paste tools he used for PB13 can handle this easily.

Oh, that's not the issue, especially not if the map design itself is farmed out, or spread out over a couple of weeks or months.

The issue is the graphics capability of the actual engine. Doesn't it run out of memory in absolutely huge games?
