EpsTweak for Map Sizes
EpsTweak is a series of small mods that tweak the balance of Civ 6. Rather than put all of them into one hefty package, I’ve split them into small fragments to allow you to make your own custom rulesets.
Map generation has been a sore point of Civ 6 for as long as the game’s been out. Because it was designed with wide play in mind, the maps it generates tend to be oversized and overcomplicated for the given player count. This pushes some players to resort to using the Tiny map size to force closer proximity. Only to run into the problem of its low religion count.
While I cannot offer improved map scripts (yet), I do have the ability to tweak the paremeters of the various map size settings to hopefully improve the maps they generate somewhat:
Tiny: Number of religions increased to 4. (For people that want to play 6-player games on this setting.)
Small: Size decreased from 74×46 to 66×42. PlateValue is reduced to 3, and number of Continents to 2.
This should make it less likely that a single player gets a continent all to themselves. The same reasoning also applies to the remaining sizes:
Standard: Size decreased from 84×54 to 76×48. Number of Continents is reduced to 3.
Large: Size decreased from 96×60 to 88×56. PlateValue is reduced to 4, and number of Continents to 4.
Huge: Size decreased from 106×66 to 98×62. Number of Continents is reduced to 5.
