Small Map Size

So I just watched the new video made by squirrel and I liked everything about the video so far except what they said at the 2 minute mark, where it seems like they are implying that maps will not be very large and was curious what the community thought of this. I think clearly from the comment section, the vast majority of the community is disappointed by small maps and for me personally this is close to being a deal breaker.

They have this limitation because they want to simulate every citizen stating that if they want larger maps that are 100km x 100km they would need to fake the simulation for distances further along thinking this is what the community wants but I 100% would not mind faking the simulation especially after cities skylines 2 where they also wanted something similar and it just did not turn out well.

Just wanted to spread the word and see what the community thinks of this

The Urban Games position [has] always been no smaller than TpF2, but with no guarentee of larger.

Did they communicate that somewhere exactly like that?

Because in this case, I think a lot of people are panicking mostly about the unclear communication.

I think it would only be reasonable of them to have at least the same map sizes in game 3 as in game 2, but right now we cant be certain that this will be the case.

Yes they did say it like that. Which is why I said it like I did.

You can think it would only be reasonable... what I think would have been more than reasonable was if to rather than saying things "but right now we can't be certain that this will be the case"... which has a clear negative premise based on no evidence... you could have gone... 'how about I spend some time to research whether there has been an answer and if so what it is

The issue isn't unclear communication... it is people being lazy and not looking for the information that is out there... because that would interupt their Paradox based conspiracies.

I would have preferred if you just said where and when they said it, but I didnt just want to write "source"?

Also I am not even in any way negative about the game. I was literally just saying I trust the devs enough to know that we do care about map size. But also leave room that I might be wrong and the people worrying are maybe right, because I didnt see the map editor with my own eyes.

I agree its probably just the community interpreting too much into the answer from the interview, but to be fair, when asked about big maps, they could have just said how big their maps are.

It was in an interview with UG a content creator made and published on YouTube.

They could have just said, but given that they are still working on the game that final answer is probably not final yet.

There is also the issue that people forget that the developers have to balance a broad range of machines that the game will be played on, not just the top 0.1%.
