How do I set a specific map size?

BadgerVIII · Feb 10, 2007

I am a complete noob, trying to get into modding/ scenario creation. So here is my first very baisic question: How do I get a map of 160 x 90 tiles into the world builder. (It is supposed to become a whole planet map so it needs to loop around at the end.)

thanks to anyone who can help me out,

Well, I'm not too experienced in mapmaking, but here is my plan:

Edit Huge map values in Civ4WorldInfo.xml

Code:

		<WorldInfo>
			<Type>WORLDSIZE_HUGE</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_WORLD_HUGE</Description>
			<Help>TXT_KEY_WORLD_HUGE_HELP</Help>
			<iDefaultPlayers>11</iDefaultPlayers>
			<iUnitNameModifier>0</iUnitNameModifier>
			<iTargetNumCities>6</iTargetNumCities>
			<iNumFreeBuildingBonuses>7</iNumFreeBuildingBonuses>
			<iBuildingClassPrereqModifier>100</iBuildingClassPrereqModifier>
			<iMaxConscriptModifier>75</iMaxConscriptModifier>
			<iWarWearinessModifier>-50</iWarWearinessModifier>
			[B]<iGridWidth>32</iGridWidth>
			<iGridHeight>20</iGridHeight>[/B]
			<iTerrainGrainChange>1</iTerrainGrainChange>
			<iFeatureGrainChange>1</iFeatureGrainChange>
			<iResearchPercent>150</iResearchPercent>
			<iTradeProfitPercent>30</iTradeProfitPercent>
			<iDistanceMaintenancePercent>100</iDistanceMaintenancePercent>
			<iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>20</iNumCitiesMaintenancePercent>
			<iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>6</iNumCitiesAnarchyPercent>
		</WorldInfo>

Change iGridWidth to 40, and iGridHeight to 23. That gives you 160x92 map. Save changes, start a new game, choose Huge world size and you will get what you need in WB.

I presume that's not the best way, but still better than nothing.
