Anyone know what the default map sizes are? What is the dimensions of the huge map size? I'm currently playing Gaians at a custom size of 84*128 and they seem to have a huge advantage on a large map. I've managed to explore almost the entire map using captured mind worms which require no support, racking up all kinds of techs/artifacts/energy from pods and killing other mind worms. I forced Morgan to surrender by moving a few Demon Boil Mind worms near his capital, now I'm attacking Miriam and knocking off her cities one by one. All this is going on practically transparent to the rest of my empire...I've been doing nothing but building and expanding on my main continent.

I don't know what the default on a huge map is but right now i am using a 300 by 300 map and it is working out fine. Huge is not very big when you take into consideration how big a 300 by 300 is.

I think someone said that a huge map is 9000 squares...
