Hi,
I've downloaded several (Earth) custom maps and placed them in C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\PublicMaps.
Whenever I open one (either via load or just double click it from Windows) the game loads up and I choose my civ. It then loads to display starting year but I die straightaway before I have my first go and all of the map is black as if I have no units.
I checked in the worldbuilder files (using Wordpad) and I can see there are some BeginUnit sections so it's not that there are no units placed on the map.
Examples of the maps I'm trying to use:
KREarth_217x119
United Kingdom (final)
darkciv Huge 18 civs A
I tried saving one of my own games to a WorldBuilder file and that works. I even tried copying the map section out of KREarth into my worldbuilder save (leaving all the player info from my game) which worked (but obviously my players started in different locations).
This is for BTS.
