when the huge map come out?

as we know the game is basic on "war", not battle not fight,  and asked the 16GB memory.

when we play with AIs, the large size map is usually be fulled by the units, that is why we ask the double size map than large map.

 

is should be coming soon? or can use the map editor to creat the huge size map?

I don't se no reason for larger maps unless player cap is increased. It would be cool to see something like 12 player maps but I have a feeling that is not happening very soon :D

It already takes like 10 minutes to move from one edge to  the other in larger maps X(

Yeah i mean an increase in player cap would be awesome.

Larger maps and more players. More options always a +

My prediction: Huge maps will come post launch (they have a lot on their plate already!) and when or soon after they drop we'll be allowed up to 8 players. Time frame: Within 2-3 months post launch. Edit: Actually I'm gonna go for 4-8 weeks post-release for huge maps. I think they already have the tech for it and they will want to strike while the iron is still hot(i.e. shortly after release).

Huge maps at launch would be a nice surprise though.

The game can still be unstable with 6 players. Putting more in the mix will make things worse.

We all want larger maps, but they shouldn't be rushed if the experience is not going to be very good.

I think bigger maps will be a smart addition if/when they increase player count and add in units such as air transports, naval, and naval transports.  Currently with only land units and 3 air units it is already hard to respond to situations.  Once we get more transport options and other things such as water to fill in some space I'm sure larger maps will follow.

I really would like to see more realistic maps.  The maps still seam plain.  Like a featureless blanket.

should the double size map, 6v6 can realeased this month?

I doubt it.

 

It takes a lot of system resources to make even tiny maps, with moderate detail settings I can easily saturate 16GB of RAM. Large maps require systems with 64GB+ RAM to generate in a modest quality and a hell of a lot of time and effort.

The map editor has some insane requirements for RAM, but, I don't see where it is using it all.

I am betting a external editor could be done using 4GB max.
