Is there a way to print Civ2 maps?

[dmjones217]

Does anyone know how to print out a Civ 2 *.mp map file?

I notice one apparently can not run both the map editor and Civ 2 at the same time...

Any comments?

Thanks

The map editor program that comes with the game does not seem to have a way to print. You could take screenshots into a photo editor and work from there. There are a couple other map editing programs out there that I believe have the ability to print. Check the Utilities dowload section both here and over at Apolyton, and follow some links in the Scenario Creation forums at both sites to some personal sites like Mercator's and Catfish'es. They should have more links to find what you want.

You can run the map editor with CivII Classic (2.42), but apparently not with higher versions like MPG. I wonder if it is an overlap in the code being used. You may find that a third-party editor is better anyway. Check them out, and post your preference back here.

I don't know of any map utilities that can print Civ2 maps. Mine certainly doesn't. You should check out those links anyway though:
My utility site
Catfish's site

Taking screenshots is probably the best you can do, as ElephantU said. It kind of depends on what you want to do with that map.

And you're both right about the map editor too. The MGE map editor can't run at the same time as MGE or ToT.
