Changing Civ4 WBS file to BTS WBS file

[NiRv4n4]

Ok, here is the deal. I have downloaded a map from this site (the northwest Europe one centered on the North Sea), and want to customize it for myself. I want to convert the file (it is for Civilization 4) to a WBS file for BTS, so I can add in civs like Celts and Dutch. What I need help with is converting this stuff. I tried to simply copy the many many lines of terrain features (for all coordinates on the map), and then changing the final x, y, and total map size that is before all of that. This did not work. If anyone knows an easy way to do this, I would be happy if you could share. Thankyou in advance.

You can just take the map, place it in the right BtS folder, change the file extension, and then change the civilizations and leaders in it.
For adding: There are entries of the beginning of the file for every civ. Just change one of the empty entries in the same manner.
But: A normal civ map can't have more than 18 players. If you want to have more, you must play a mod.

There's no need to even change the file extension. BtS will load vanilla WBS files just fine.

Well, I figured it out through a lot of tinkering about an hour after I made the post. Thanks for the replies anyway, though. This place is one of the more helpful places I have been on the internet.
