Rhye's 180x180 Earth map with RaR resources

This is a map featuring rhye´s great standard Earth map 180x180 (.biq, .bic, .bix available) but it contains RaR-resources and changed starting positions for replaced civ´s (tibet, sioux, polynesia, mali, ethiopia).
the resources have been placed in accordance to earlier DyP-maps of Kal-El that contain similar resources. i hope this helps keeping the original ideas of the DyP/RaR-modders!
hints:
-wheat and corn do not exist in the mod, thats why i took "cereals 1" to replace those bonus resources
-i did not use "natives" so far, maybe i will use them to replace some barbarian camps in a later version...
-i also did not use different cattles or cereals (1,2,3), i only used no 1 of them because they are the worst ones (cattle 1 :+2 food, +1 shield) (cereals 1 :+3 food)

I´m looking forward to hear your suggestions about this map

v0.4 uploaded! changes : - just imported the rulechanges and bugfixes of RaR 1.02 extended to keep the map up-to-date; EDIT : obviously the name of the attached zip is too long but dont worry it contains the full map
RE-EDIT: Obviously the icons of dyes and silks were changed so that the china region was filled with dyes... i corrected this mistake and uploaded a new file!

v0.3 uploaded! changes : - irrigated some hills in tibet to make tibet build settlers! this was really needed to make them expand... (note : hills can NOT be irrigated by workers) ; - gave polynesia 1 additional unit : a micranesian raft for exploring the islands arround (note : the main island only allows 2 cities ; thats why an explorer does not really help the polynesians...) ; - changed terrain in the suez-region to make it possible to build a city forming the suez-channel (note : this seemed fair to me because it was also possible to do the same in central america colonizing the panama-region) ; - added cereals and cattle 2+3 on the map
natives have not been added yet.

v0.2 uploaded! changes : - more hills and wool for tibet, - gave 1 cereal to ploynesia, celts to make them grow faster, - removed some wrong set resources like incense in canada etc...
i hope these changes improve the gameplay.

p.s. : this is my first map, so dont shout at me for mistakes

if you have troubles seeing resources in the editor do the following :
1.) open the RaR basic 1.00 version with the editor, you can find it in your /conquests/scenarios folder
2.)Choose file -> import -> yes -> map -> yes
3.)import the file above
that should help you

You should look for RaR users and creators feedback more than mine...

All I can say is one suggestion:
add more hills in Tibet, because in RaR that region puts up a civ.

true, tibet needs more food!
i have already posted a link in the mod-thread...

-I think you should use cereals 2 and 3 and also cattle 2 and 3. These resources were placed to simulate agricultural advances in the modern age (as the game engine doesn´t allow for multiple levels of farming). If you don´t put these results, the ability to improve food production is essentially stagnated from Middle Ages onwards....

this weekend
i hope i will have enough time...

Having a few problems...Started the map twice so far, on the first time Spain and Rome's starting points were reversed, and on the second attempt Spain & Koreas' starts were reversed? Also there appears to be a problem with the timeline? Instead of 4000BC it says "Nov." and says this every turn?

Only other thing I noticed is the English UU, it has the same stats as the crossbowman it replaces - is this deliberate? (I guess I should ask elsewhere about that though?)

Not all bad though sorry to pick holes! Glad somebody put this into a world map as I enjoy playing them so much!

haschischman you must check custom players settings to avoid Spain swapping starting position

seems like you are playing an earlier patch version??
all those bugs you tell here look like that
do you use 1.22?
-
I didnt edit any UU´s, so the crossbowman problem maybe derives from original RaR?!
-
the problem with starting loc´s didnt appear in my test-loads (ca. 31 times; 31 civ´s playable), all civs started at the correct loc but i´m gonna try to find out where it comes from!

Thanx for your bug-reports and suggestions

p.s.: the next version will be posted in the next few hours ( ca 18:00 gmt ; berlin, zürich)

Doh! I was using V1.00 (!) Just installed 1.22 but not had a chance to try it yet, I'm sure it will work fine now though. (Feels sheepish!)

The civlopedia is wrong, the Man-o-War is the English UU. Longbowman is just a flavor. Check the editor.

Yo man, how do I use this map to play RAR!

Great work!
Hope to keep updating.

I'm really interested in a smaller Earth map than Rhye's 180X180. I'm running on a 3.5ghz 2gigs of RAM and I find the late game to be way too long between turns. I just thought I'd through this out there. This is a fantastic mod, in fact it's the sole reason why I still play Civ3. Great job, keep up the good work.

140X140 with RaR resources (of course) would be ideal. If I knew anything about mod making I'd just do it myself. I really lack the time to pick it up unfortunately.

rhye has a smaller version of his excellent earth map. it is 134 x 130. link below.

of course, it doesnt have RaR resources, but it's excellent to play on. as a small map lover, i prefer it to the full 170 or 180 sized earth maps.

i will start the work on a smaller map by now because i caught a cold and now have time to do this work in bed
as you wait for the small version try out the new version (v.0.4) of the big one! you can find it at the beginning of this thread!

I'm not used to the editor and am having trouble getting RaR to use this map. What do I need to do to play RaR with this map?
