I'm sorry if this has already been discussed on this thread, but I didn't read all of it, just parts: why are there some resources in places that make them unusable? Like wheat and rice on hills?

They aren't unusable:p
 
They do provide those hills with +1 food, but that's it.

There really should be a way to terrace hills... Lots of rice is cultivated that way...

This mod is wonderful!
But can someone release a patch removing the American civ? No offence to the USA, none at all- but I would prefer to colonise the New World myself!

Open the map file in notepad.

Edit the last pair of tags that look like this:
Code: 
BeginTeam                         
	Tech=TECH_FISHING                         
	Tech=TECH_AGRICULTURE                         
EndTeam
to:
Code: 
BeginTeam   
EndTeam

Then find this:
Code: 
BeginPlayer
	LeaderType=LEADER_FRANKLIN_ROOSEVELT
	CivType=CIVILIZATION_AMERICA                         
	Team=17                         
	PlayableCiv=1                         
	StartingX=28, StartingY=45                         
	Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE                         
EndPlayer

And edit to:

Code: 
BeginPlayer
	LeaderType=NONE
	CivType=NONE
	Team=17
EndPlayer

But this will leave the Aztecs running around on their own.

Is there anyway to change German leaders from Frederick to Bismarck?
Click to expand...

Open the map file in notepad and find this section ... edit the leader name accordingly.
Code: 
BeginPlayer
	LeaderType=LEADER_FREDERICK
	CivType=CIVILIZATION_GERMANY                         
	Team=7                         
	PlayableCiv=1                         
	StartingX=62, StartingY=52                         
	Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE                         
EndPlayer

But notice the section of code (8th pair down) that looks like this:
Code: 
BeginTeam                         
	Tech=TECH_FISHING                         
	Tech=TECH_THE_WHEEL                         
EndTeam

Edit to whatever your new leader should have.


Note to both of you: I have not tested this, but I believe it to be sound.
 
From what I understand, in addition to what Kolyana said, you should go further into the file to where it says what is found on each and every tile. Go to the tile specified in the Beginplayer/Endplayer bit (e.g., for the Americans, it is x=28, y=45). Remove the line that says "Startingplot."

I was told to do this so I always have. I don't know if it works if you leave out this step.

I have always left in the "BeginTeam" and "EndTeam" parts and this doesn't cause any problem.

Make sure you capitalize the leader names or it won't work. I found this out the hard way...

I wonder what would happen if you didn't remove that plot? I mean, there's no city or settler there, right?
 
How do I play this map with hotseat? Is it possible? if not, WTH not? Not being able to play custom maps in hotseat is bs!!!
 
I have edited the Map a little just uploading if anyone would like these changes...

I can be downloadet from this adress http://www.3sen.dk/gram/minearth.Civ4WorldBuilderSave

Change log:

Changed gameoptions to: No Barb.
Changed victory condisions: No time win
Replaced Mounten in middle America with a hill to make acces between north and sound
Replaced two mountens with hills to open for Inca to get out two the rest of Sounthen america
Gave Every Civ two citys, and two settles to speed op start of game
Removed Oil resourses from different places in the world. Now it only appears in Sahara, Middle East, Mogolian Desest, Northen Atlantic Sea And Australia (Plus near New Zealands Coast)
Removed Uranium From Europe and Scandinavia. And moved Uranium deeper into the Rocky Mountens In northen america making them harder to get to
Removed Horses from Both Southen and Northen America as they dont life there originaly but were brought by the European
Addet more resourses to differnet places in the world were they belong:
More Dye in southen Asia
More Rice In Asia
More Gold, Diamont and Silver in Southen Amerika, And South Africa
More Corn And Wheat to Heartlands of America
More Wheat near Nilen in Egypt
More Fish Craps And Whales Near the Coast of Norway Sweden Denmark And England
More Whales near Iceland Faroe Icelands and Greenland
Thinks thats all, there maybe a few more resources added or removed
 
Looked abit around the XML files but coundt find out were to change team settings. Anyone figured that out? Would like to make teams for Earth Map.

Could be nice to make American civ a team. The Europeans A team, The Asians a team etc.
 
Don't forget you can play any mod/map under multiplayer LANS as a single player game. This way you can pick any option just as a multiplayer game without change the XML file. The down side you can't enter worldbuilder in this mode. Yet (Gram123) it seems you can't team up civ without changing XML files.
Notice each civ in XML file has "TEAM=##". # start off with 0 to 17. To team up two civ change this "Team number" to the another civ number.
For example :
EndPlayer
BeginPlayer
LeaderType=LEADER_MONTEZUMA
CivType=CIVILIZATION_AZTEC
Team=16
PlayableCiv=1
StartingX=19, StartingY=37
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer
BeginPlayer
LeaderType=LEADER_FRANKLIN_ROOSEVELT
CivType=CIVILIZATION_AMERICA
Team=17
PlayableCiv=1
StartingX=28, StartingY=45
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
Click to expand...
If you want America to team up with Aztecs then change America team number to 16 or Aztec to 17.

I've edited this map a little bit, I hope you don't mind! I'll upload it ehre for those that want it.

The things I've changed are as follows...

1) All civilizations start with a warrior, instead of some with scouts, and some with warriors.
2) All cities begin with 2 culture, instead of big discrepancies such as some with 0, some with 2, some with 4, and some with 8.
3) Edited some mountain ranges. For instance, now can access Tibet through China and India. Inca can now eventually get around their mountain range, as well as Aztec and Inca can now travel between South and Central America.
4) Able to travel by sea through a narrow passage above North America.
5) Changed America's leader from Roosevelt to Washington.
6) The eastern coast of Greenland now has a very small coastal area for settlement.
7) Done a few minor terrain changes, such as adding trees in specific places, and seperating Nova Scotia in Canada from Quebec, and Newfoundland from Labrador. It's now easier to access western Canada through the Rockies. You can now get through the Caucasus mountains from Russia.

And that's it.

I've attached the file below. Download instructions are...

1) Right-click and select save as...
2) Save it in your My Documents/My Games/Civilization 4/PublicMaps folder
3) Start the game, and choose Single Player, then Play Scenario, and choose the new "Edited by GP" map
