Wow, I didn't realise you could build on ice or desert. I'll have to try that out.

There has already been one made, here. :)

Thanks, that's helpful. I'll make the changes later tonight.

In the first game I played the Spanish founded Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism. They didn't expand very much though and I wiped them out pretty quickly. By the end of the game the whole world was either Christian or Taoist.

Only noble so far, but I haven't played many games yet so I don't feel too bad :)

Ok, I'll give it a go. I still don't know how big to make it though. Do you want it on to be standard, large, small, huge etc in size?

I'm prepared to give it a go. What kind of map of France do you want? By that I mean do you want France just on its own or with parts of the surrounding countries as well? Like AlCosta15 said though it'd be too difficult to include other territories without including the rest of the world and...

Do you have the starting locations specified with the civiliation at the top of your map file? By this I mean something along the lines of this inside a player section: BeginPlayer StartingX=20, StartingY=25 *Rest of Player stuff* EndPlayer For random starts you need to place them...

Do you mean random in the sense that you want the starting locations to be in different parts of the map each time, or for them to be in the same place but with a different player starting at each one each time you play?

I just noticed that screenshot I posted is of a slightly earlier version of the map as there are patches of what look like desert where there are meant to be marshes. My orginal plan was to do the marshes with flood plains as the flood plain texture looks most like a marsh. However, flood...

This is my first map for Civ 4, based on Tolkien's Middle Earth. It's 104 by 96 in size playable with 11 civs. It's more or less done but I'll probably go back and make some more changes at some point. I think the map itself is fine but the starting locations and resources might need some...

In a lot of the map threads I've seen (such as Rhye's 18 civ Earth map) there are fairly large screenshots of the whole map without any clouds or fog of war. Does anyone know how these were taken? Is there a way to zoom out further in the worldbuilder to show the whole map? I thought they might...

Very nice, I'll try it out later. It looks pretty accurate too. There's a line the map file that can be changed to set the default number of players. If you look for "world size" and set it equal to WORLDSIZE_HUGE then the map will default to 11 players (this changes some other settings like...

Are you sure you used the file-->load BMP converter options or file-->set BMP converter options before you tried to convert? If you didn't you'd receive an error somewhat like this.

If you change the map size parameter in the wbs it changes the default number of players, but it also changes other settings. I'm not to sure how to change the number of players without changing this though.
