Here is a modified version of the default Terra map script.

I have modified the script so that civs spawn in the 'new world' too.

Unzip the file terrapit.py and place it in your publicmaps folder, start a new game and select terrapit.

This one for Warlords

Instead of going through all that trouble couldnt you just play continets. :)

You realize that the terra map generator is unique right? The continents map generator is no where near as complex as the maps you get from terra.

That's something I've been waiting for! Thx:)

Where have all the Flood Plains gone, long time passing? I am seeing them not in terrapit games.

Sorry can't help you, it has nothing to do with the map script, I get flood plains in my games so there is something else wrong with your game not related to the terrapit map script.
I did nothing with the script other then make it so CIVs spawn everywhere.

Good enough. My 'evidence' was not from a complete map, but contained more river-adjoining desert than I had ever seen before.

cool gonna try it now.

This does not work without the Warlords expansion, apparently. I was looking for something exactly like this, but when I loaded it up, I checked World Builder mode to make sure it turned out okay and was greeted by a uniform map of grasslands with scattered resources, rivers, and lakes all the way from one ice cap to the next. :(

The only difference between Vanilla and Warlords that I'm aware of when it comes to map generation is in the introduction of the balanced resources option. A problem relating to this difference would [most probably] occur when the map script is assiging resources - before placing tribal huts and initial units but after everything else.

The all-grassland map you describe occurs when there is a problem while the script is assigning land, hill, and peak plots, or at an earlier stage in the map generation. While I haven't looked at the code for this script, the above would leave to me believe that the problem you are having is not down to a difference between Vanilla and Warlords.

Edit: Nope, I was wrong. The script is incompatable with Vanilla.

Unfortunate, well its official that this only works with the Warlords expansion.

Thanks for testing it Thedrin.

I was looking at the Vanilla's Terra, Warlord's Terra, and your modification of it. If you make the same change to Vanilla Terra then you should get a version that's compatable with Vanilla.

Alright I finally got around to making one for Vanilla Civ4, check OP for DL link.

its a pretty good script I been using it since long before BtS came out.

Thanks, but the credit goes to Firaxis, I just made it so Civs spawn everywhere. It is a really good script, earth like but not earth, so the map is different everytime you play, I use nothing else.

Is this compatible with BtS? If not, are there any plans to make it so?

Just curious. Thanks!

Sorry, I do not have BtS. Someone else would have to do it.
