C2C: Maps & Scenarios

@Acularius

What is the most up to date C2C Earth map?

As far as I know (and play) it's the link to the attachment I actualized in first post of this thread (where I will display all other links to maps I found, too).
 
I am playing Huge World map avaible with v20. I noticed that aliminium resourse is seen on the map just from the begging, isn't it supposed to be revealed by Industialism?

Aliminium is not supposed to be on the map at all. It was replaced by bauxite in RoM!

Edit the XMl is fine Aluminium should not be being placed on the map at all. That works for only random maps.
 
Have anyone tried to convert Rhye's and Fall world map with enlarged Europe to this mod? I think it is a great map. I would really like to see it converted to this mod and play it :love:

The trouble with made-up maps are in C2C there are soooo many different terrain types, PLUS the resources and improvements that is really hard to use ANY map, besides a mapscript one.

DH used to have a Terrain-Add-on that worked great, but its alot of work to get it running correctly, wish he or someone else would do it though, that way you could play any map you want. as long as it not an Earth map with definite locations of resources etc.

But your welcome to try.:mischief:
 
I think that the GEM map is the most popular one so far. I LOVE IT!
I propose that either DRJ or one of the best map modders take charge and start a specific...

C2C- GEM -C2C Giant Earth Map version updates thread (I wish I had time to organize it myself)

...for a community effort to work on keeping it updated for all the new resources and features.
Just google earth resource maps for placement, there are lots of resource and terrain maps available in different places.
I recommend anyone and everyone who plays C2C start chiming in on better resource placement, both for realism and gameplay, it will give those who aren't modders something to do to help.
It could be start with a version number, linking it to the actual GEM versions.
It should start with a picture and a link of the most update version for C2C.

The basic version should just be stripped of starting locations for the pure update of resources.

Time based versions with starting locations for different eras, civs, and scenarios could be organized afterwards, creating new threads and listing the links in the main c2c -gem thread.
example
Prehistoric
Classic start
Rome
Medieval
World War II
Modern
etc.

This would organize it and start giving people something to work on.
It would start to inspire talk on scenarios even though changes are coming so rapidly.
It would also give those who want to start on scenarios something to do as new resources come available.

Please, please, please, start and organize an ongoing GEM thread effort!!
I hope this kickstarts some more discussion and inspires people.

Well if you check past posts in this thread I posted some great info about locations of kelp and coral. I also listed all the original ranges of crop resources. But one of the most disappointing is how there are no llamas in the Andes (or anywhere for that matter).
 
we could, of course, use this thread for now, as it seems there are no other maps that are worked on. the newest version of GEM will be updated in first post of this thread as fast as I get it (just pm me - or post it here as last post, I'll edit it in #1 then, too.

before starting the project, maybe some working steps could be specified and then deligated to volunteers (like, for an instance person 1 researches placement of res XY and borders of CivXY in year XY and passes on to the person 2 who adds other res and civ and so on. This organizing might really need an own thread as I see now... well if we get 4-5 people helping us we have the historical earth scenarios polished and ready in no-time :rolleyes:


And, most important, as a longtime goal:

I WANNA PLAY FINAL GEM ON ETERNITY GAME SPEED WITH 30 PEOPLE OVER THE INTERNET - I DONT CARE HOW LONG A TURN WILL TAKE (may even be pbem) - IT'LL BE A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE :P

COME ON LET'S DO THIS AFTER ALL IT'S 2012 :D

There are on the GEM I'm playing on (which is the latest from this thread - about a month old I think)
 
...since now GEM is up to date again! I revisited and placed some new stuff like mango, papaya, melon, tweaked inca and australian starting location slightly, changed the Andes and Mexicos highlands "tundra" terrain into "rocky" terrain (looks much better now), added the great swamps of Brest Litowsk, gave Japan tea and bronze, bronze as well to Korea, added some platinum, titanium, diamonds in Namib and Australia, 2 more Mammoth sources (1 on remote island near Kamchatka [where the youngest fossils of Mammoth were found), +1 more in northern Canada), put some more walrus in, added figs, almonds, coconuts, some cactus and last but not least I gifted some hemp to Jamaica :D

What I haven't done yet is to change sea terrains to arctic, normal and tropical...

Enjoy! (unzip into .../caveman2cosmos/private maps)
 
Have you taken out the normal "Gems" resource from the map too? I believe that DH wants only the map to have Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Amber or Jade instead of "Gems" resource on the map.

Hmmm I forgot to mention I added some new res "diamonds" in Namib and Australia (saphire, jade, amber and rubies were already on it), existing gems on the map I did not remove I guess...
 
I've been slowly working on mod'ing a Huge Europe map I've had for awhile for C2C. I say slowly because I'm having to learn how to mod from scratch (and the Civ4 learning curve is rather steep) and, as was earlier pointed out, there are quite a few more terrains/terrain bonuses/resources in C2C then in the vast majority of other Civ4 incarnations. However, its been my staple of play for awhile, as Europe has been a source of strife and warfare since mankind has been socializing, and it translates well to C2C. I'm including it here for anyone else that wants to use it or assist in mod'ing/adding to it. I am not the original designer of the map, I just started to alter it for the purposes of C2C, I believe this started life as UnCopain's Huge European map.
