I built this map using the WBS-Bmp utility for later use as a Dark Age Europe Scenario. My computer can't handle Civ IV yet, so I've not play tested nor viewed the map. If there are any problems with river flows, bad start locations, etc. let me know.

Any other problems with loading, being too big to play, etc., I'd appreciate input on.

I haven't placed any resources on map. Please initiate the cheat_code in the ini. file, and ~ in game to generate the resources and a playable map. Details to do this are at the following post:

Eventually, I hope to make this into a full blown scenario with Vikings (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Trondelag), Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (Mercia, Wessex and Northumbria), Ireland, Dalriada-Scotts, Welsh, Dumnonia-Bretons, and Franks (Normandy, Frankish Empire). Non-playable Civs will be Romano-Celts, Anglo-Saxon minor Kingdoms, and barbarians. Two other playable Civs will be added...I'm wavering between Saxons, Strathclyde, Picts and/or dividing the Franks into West and East Franks. I also would add cities for these, and adjust the tech tree for a dark age/medieval scenario. Because of the great amount of forest in Scandanavia, I'm inclined to make forests unsettleable in a later scenario, or perhaps only with Feudalism, and may change much of the underlying Scandanavian terrain to tundra to prevent too much settlement there.

Obviously, as I don't have the game running, there is no screen shot. It anyone could be so kind as to upload one, I'd appreciate it.

Hope the map works out ok.

I used another utility to view the map, and have realized that some of the rivers were corrupted using one of the utilities... I'm attaching a corrected version in this post.

Here's a screen shot using Mapview, and cut and paste.

Note: Jungles are representing swamp. The map is 40 degrees off of true north-south alignment to encompass the areas I wanted.

I posted this a while back:

Can someone make this or is someone doing something similar, i'd give an arm and a leg to play it.

heres what the scenario should be: Europe: Battle for the north.
scandinavian kingdoms arise - Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and so do tensions not only do they battle eachother but vikings (replace barbarians) are a menace. Not to mention the imposing threat from the south as Germanic hordes fight to spread in the cold north.

but you've brought it to the next level.
i'd like to see your map stretch a little south and way east to include the scandinavian penninsula. although i wouldn't even be able to play as it is as the best performance for my pc comes out of a standard map size.
