Hi, I've encountered a strange problem, the client redownloads maps that I've played in the past (at almost every map change there's 10-20min downloading of the map). For example after playing emp_rainbowroad and 4 maps in between when emp_rainbowroad is selected again I have to download it again Is there a setting that would allow me to enlarge map cache or whatever it is that forces a redownload? Thanks.
Check in your userfolder to see if the map is actually there. That would be in steam/steamapps/makdaam/empires/empires/maps. If it is, then chances are you're just downloading a .ain graph file (which is a few bytes in size) each time. If not then post back and I'll think about what else could cause this.
It's not "chances" but he really is looking at .ain check (I'm not even sure if it redownloads it). We can't modify that part of engine to make it less confusing so people just have to ignore it.
