(Too lazy to quote people, just reading off of another internet tab.)
@Wolfchild: Yes, you can form a civ for your religion.
The way religions will work, is that they hold a percentage of followers for any city they are in, so yours would simply be 100% KJ aligned.
@BFEL: You don't all have to die, and if you can form a civ, that's even better, because that's what I'm going for.
@Coolrune: You're dead.
@GreatWrymGold: I will explain the hex number in a second.
And KJ was god of the sun and planet and Lamias and quite a lot, really.
OK, so just how big is this map?
I'll tell you, it's big.
Before I say the exact number, let me tell you how I came to this number.
I mentioned before that each day is composed of three phases, and that one of those phases is night, where armies need to rest.
So a marching army moves two tiles every day.
Gia is about the same size as Earth, so I used that as a base.
A hot air balloon can circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days, in this system, a hot air ballon moves at the same speed as a marching army, but can move at night, as well.
This means that it moves three tiles every day.
80 days of 3 tiles each means that Gia has an equatorial circumference of 240 tiles to make it fully loop.
And that is just one line of it.
Obviously, I can't make an actual sphere, so I'll do what the Civ games do and just make a cylinder, where the top and bottom are abstracted pole regions.
To see the exact line of this abstraction, go back to the world map, and look at where the grey region starts (not the ice at the caps, the more tundra like area) and that is about where the cut off will be.
The continent the civs are on takes up about 1/3 of the circumference of the world, so it has a distance of about 80 tiles from the eastern tip to the west. About 40 days for a marching army, or somewhere around 27 days or so for a balloon or boat.
That's not counting the movement penalties for moving through forests for non-elves, which takes up the vast majority of the continent.
So, that big enough for you?
