Not sure if I can actually ask this here, I'm new in these forum.

I'm looking for a map that would look a bit like the Fastest map of Starcraft.

http://home.earthlink.net/~bluemicrobyte/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fastestmap.jpg

8 Civilizations, equal resource for all, and enough rooms to make about 10-15 cities in each section. I don't mind the size, the bigger the better.
I'm still learning the map editor and I'm not really good enough to make a good map yet.
Decent number of goodies huts, barbarians cities in the middle.
The map should be playable on BTS.

If anyone can make one, I'll be forever in your debt.

If BTS understands vanilla maps then I can do it, but if it doesn't, or vanilla maps don't have enough things then I can't help.

BtS can use vanilla, Warlords, and (obviously) its own maps. :)

Forget to ask if it should be
a) like that picture plains and grass only
b) "gameboard"-like identical terrains with forests and hills and mountains or
c) realistic-looking but equal terrain,
also should the start locations have
1. All resouces around them
2. Resources identically in the vinicity or
3. Resources equally but spread over the start area
?

I made the first version of c3 type map.
The size is 100x100 which is quite big for a 8 player map, and is considered huge.
Civ 4 messed the map up so there are no barbarian cities or goody huts yet and you'll have to restrict the number of players to 8 manually from custom scenario options.
Start points should be relatively balanced
For later versions i would like to know which civs the map should have.

Thank you very much, it's perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I haven't played on it yet, I'll probably have time to test it tonight or tomorrow.
As for civilizations, I don't know which one the map should have, I leave that to your expert hands.
Once I have tested it, I'll be able to either tell you some feedback or change it a bit myself.
thank you again
