Because I would like to do that.

Also I would like to edit the title because it unfortunately ended up with a spelling mistake but perhaps with improvement in technology one day man will be able to do that we can only hope.

just rename it from *.Civ4WorldBuilderSave to *.CivWarlordsWBSave.
but remember: it will only work with maps! not with scenarios if they use a vanilla mod.

OK how do you change the file name to that then.:confused: Can't just change a file name ???

just click a 2nd time on it (no double-click, just a *click--wait a moment--2nd click*) or right-click it and select rename (i hope it is called rename in english windows) in the drop-down. :)

i forgot: first copy the map into the warlords\publicmaps-folder and rename it there.

All that does is change the name of the file not the File folder name, ie: CIV.WorldBuilderSave File, needs to be CIV.CIVWARLORDSWBSAVE File, and if i do what you say, all it does is change the CIV part, not the Worldbuilder part to CIVWARLORDSWBSAVE File.:confused:

Coldfever has adapted all the Vanilla maps here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=179572), so they can beused in Warlords.

You need to uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types' under Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options. This should then allow to change 'WorldBuilderSaveFile' to 'CIVWARLORDSWBSAVE'

Works great thanks.:goodjob:

I'm afraid I don't have enough experience with Civ4 to understand how to follow your instructions.

I've attached the save-game (which is pretty neat, by the by) from Civ4 that I wish to use as a map, or ideally with the same players, in Civ4:Warlords.

I've tried saving the map in the WorldBuilder, and importing it as you adviced, but I'm just getting an error-message along the line of "...could not open file...".

Perhaps I need to start a new game in Civ4:Warlords with the exact same settings as for the saved game in Civ4 in order for me to be able to import the map?

EDIT: Ah, forgive my stupidity. It works fine, I just chose the wrong file to rename. Ah, I do believe I shall try for an army of 400 XP.

I posted about this last night. See this post:

I've been trying to transfer the Europe map that came with patch 1.61, but I can't find the file anywhere to transfer it to Warlords. Am I doing something wrong?
