How big will it be?

I was hoping this will be much bigger and more complex than last several games compare to this one. What bother me the most is how big the map will be, i would like very much to be globe type, like civilization IV. Cant stand small maps like most RTS games.

Elemental is not an RTS game and the devs want to support 64-bit OSs so that the largest maps will dwarf anything yet seen in a TBS game.

See 64 bit OS & map size for some early discussion on the subject, and this dev Christmas time Status Report for more recent word on the 64 bit question.

You know... it's always tempting for me to start a game on the BIGGEST MAP... even when there's no possibility of me ever finishing it. Huh. I guess that's my shtick.

Asking is a good thing. The Elemental boards are already way deep in posts, new people are around all the time, and search engine tech is still a very long way from being able to help out with a plain-language question like yours.

You and me both man, you and me both. I also like to add custom made opponents that have cranked up stats and bonuses so I have a challenge.
