Excited for this game. What's the largest size map we will be able to create ?

Cheers

The map values editor can handle up to 99 rows or columns of hexes. In SS’s scale that means maps slightly larger than 60km2. I’ve tinkered with large maps, but then you need someone to create large scenarios for them, so there are pros and cons as in most things in life.

Just to be clear, there is no map editor. There is a map values editor as stated in the hype thread. You can create your own maps using another program and then the map value editor to set the map values. Same as in Red Storm.

Limit is 99 rows (49km height), but you can exceed 100 columns (43km width). But that's really beyond the sweet spot of the game. The graphics, AI, and map scrolling will slower for really large size maps.

The largest map I have created and published was 45km wide x 35km high.
