Map request

veezed · Dec 16, 2003, 02:05 PM

I'm trying to make a scenario about well, 200 AD really, so I need a map. I've tried using Euroasia por mencey but I find that it is sometimes afwully inaccurate (which is fixable) and also has too much space dedicated to places that don't matter (which cannot be fixed). I was thinking to crop the map and put it on an angle. I don't need accuracy as to terrain types and rivers and otehr things like that since I can do it myself but an entire map is somewhat hard for me to do. If anybody could make one just like in the image below? I'd be very thankful. It has to be a large map, very likely larger than the default "Huge". I need to put about 97 cities in the Roman portion of the world alone...

Thanks in advance for anyone who will try.

I could make it for you.

Of course, you must realize, 512 is the city limit, and with 97 Roman cities

...Good luck.

Well, I think it may work. Rome, China, Parthia and Kushans controlled most of the settled world back then, and all of them will comfortably fit into 300 cities. The rest of civilisation adds up to say, 30 more, and the barbarians will have just the starting cities. I mean this is a battle scenario rather than an expansion scenario. BTW I did fit 97 roman cities into mencey's map but they were jam-packed in some areas (i.e the Rhine/Danube and Syria).

If you will make it you will have eternal gratitude. I really need a map like the one I posted.

Wasn't the city limit doubled by C3C? Or was that the unit count?

DesertWolf · Dec 18, 2003, 05:19 AM

the city limit is 512 in c3c
but i dunno if it is for ptw or vanilla - but there is a tool to bypass that limit and i heard from someone that he want to make a c3c version (read last news entry here)

I'll make it...Hold yer horses, tho, because I hafta balance that with another map I said I'd make for Tjedge1.

would this do? (only outlines are done)

O NO FAIR!!!:rant: The Yoda beat me to it, dang it!:rant:

Well, Yoda, I'll concede. It's wonderful for a start.

P.S. Exactly how do you get yours into BMP to BIC so fast, Yoda? I have to take the image into Photoimpression 4, Get it "sketched", color over it, etc...How do you do it?

Yoda, thanks for the offer, but I posted that picture precisely because I wanted to avoid something like what you posted. I don't want Arctic regions, Subsaharan africa or other useless, unimportant uncivilised places taking up my precious map space. The image I posted sorta attempted to include everything I needed and as prominently as possible. I need Japan and Java, but Kamchatka and Angola are a waste of space.

I don't want to come across as rude though, I just couldn't do a big map as i want it myself right now....I could easily modify mencey's map to make it look like what you did though.
