Hi all,

This is the map version of my Britannia Scenario.
There are no player-infos, so this map will be started by default settings (3 or 4 Civilizations and the 1. player has always the netherlands as start-position ).
I don't know what to do that this map can be played with 18 (all) civilizations and random start-positions. :confused:

but this map can also be used to create some Scenarios like "Operation Seelöwe" (which I would like to see ;) ) or William the Conqueror

Mini-Map (of an older version, the "strangford loch" and "Scilly Islands" were added)

11-22-05 : added a new Version with the 'world size=WORLDSIZE_HUGE' setting.
Now the map starts with 11 Civs and you have lower upkeep.

Neat, I'll try it out.

Very nice, I'll try it out later. It looks pretty accurate too. There's a line the map file that can be changed to set the default number of players. If you look for "world size" and set it equal to WORLDSIZE_HUGE then the map will default to 11 players (this changes some other settings like maintenance to be as with a huge map, but this map is fairly large anyway). In order to get 18 players I think you have to put in civilization info for each of the 18 teams. You can leave start locations out for the teams though and just specify in each plot with "StartingPlot" to get randomly assigned starting locations. The BMPtoWBS converter has the ability to write the coordinates in the .py file before converting. I've also made a modified version (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=135740) of the BMPtoWBS converter that can take in random StartingPlots from a BMP image if that's any help.

Also, how did you take your screenshot of the whole map like that? Is it just the minimap, or is there a way to zoom out that far?

Ok, I changed the world size setting to HUGE.
The screenshot is from the replay, which will appear immediately when you start a new map without having placed units and cities, because aof losing the game.

As you know im improving the map face vadus,this is a great map too work with guys,hopefully this will turn into a great mod,vilus tech mod may help here too vadus http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=140264 i can see england with a long medieval tech build too the next era with the benifit being that era units get used more.

Well I like the map but I keep getting loads of barbarians attacking my city constantly. I'm not sure if that's to do with any map settings but it's hard to expand when I have to build more and more archers/warriors to defend my city. I hope they stop.

i am so glad someone included the channel islands in a map (although only as a one square for Guernesy and Jersey) people who are reading this could someone please make a really big Uk map and include the channel islands (i might try but my laptop cant run big maps and i cant make them anyway:( ) that includes Guernsey,Jersey,sark(me!),herm and maby alderney but oh well if u cant lol. cheers

use this map and make an irish revolution scenario.

This is a beautiful map, very well done. However, it is a little large for my computer to run. I don't know if this takes long or not, but is it easy to trim it to about 80 X 80 or something, ideally cutting off some of the bottom and the right? I was thinking that 2 empires could be in Ireland, two in England, one in Wales, one in Scotland, and just two on the mainland. Is this possible? I thought I have seen other people requesting authors to resize their maps, so I just wondered. I'm pretty novice at modding and was not able to accomplish this myself.

Thanks,

Vince

yeah that would be sweet if u can get it down to 80X80 im on a lap top too over here.

other than map size, this map is awesome.

i played this map and it is waaaaay too big

Thank you for the map. Is there a way to make it so it doesn't always start off in the Netherlands?
