If I remember correctly the default map is 4000x4000, just like the big maps in FS.

I though the default map much like FS was 2km x 2km

German map (4 km² / ~ 990 ac)

4km² = 2km x 2km


while in FS a mod x16 map was 8km x 8km, being 16 times the size of the standard 2km x 2km map

You're right, in this post it say 2048x2048 so just under 420ha.

But I would assume that it will be possible to make bigger maps.

I would assume bigger maps in C&C are possible, but not having played with the C4 editor I don't know what restrictions there are on worldspace.

maybe they have gone for this size as its a base?
I think you could go bigger but that also means loads more resources that you would need. (if the game when released requires atleast 4gb of RAM. this could mean you would need 8GB or 16GB to run a big map. Not everyone has 16GB of RAM in their pc. Most 8 GB or even 6 GB.)


From a game dev point of view. it's best to have a map that is relativily big but also playable by everyone. Bigger maps could only be played by certain people with good computers

I'm not saying that bigger maps can't be realized though, I am in favor of bigger maps like 1000 Ha of workable field space alone, multiple farms that are spaced out a good bit. making it interesting for multiplayer.
Missions near farmers, you gotta mow the field of this farmer. only accessible from his farm yard. etc. Would be fun to have though. I hope the engine can handle bigger maps.
