i would need a utility to extract a png (or other non-invasive format, not jpg) of the map from a save-file. this utility should put the whole world in one graphics-file from the view of the player, meaning that no "fog of war" or unexplored area is shown. Also, no units should be shown.

Why would i want this?

I would need this utility for the civ3-demogame (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=62) to generate maps of phoenatica on a standardized basis. Its important not to reveal any secrets we cannot see as player, since otherwise it would be cheating.

It also would be nice to have a kind of "political" map, like shown in the minimap (civilization-colours), just as a big full-size version.

Any1 out there who has this/wants to challenge his/her programming skills with this?

The phoenatican nation will propably be proud to give you one of our non-citizen honours (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=345034#post345034), or, if you join the game, even an citizen-honour for your work. At least, i will nominate you.
