Map Editor Utility?

Use 'WorldBuilder' from the drop drown menu next to the Civilopedia. (For a head start on a new map, you might start by generating the basic landforms using one of the map generators.)
 
Thanks Caradoc, I am aware of the in game editor and have used it a lot. However, in starting from scratch it is a bit annoying.

I recall seeing an external editor some time back but can't seem to find it now. I'm also not sure if it was compatible with FFH2.
 
From your post count I could not tell how well you knew your way around.

You might try asking at one of the Maps subforums. I do recall there was a stand alone map editor for vanilla Civ4 soon after it came out.
 
Use Map Maker for creating for base things then update map with this codes;

I had a problem getting my maps to work in FfH2. It turned out that regular BTS maps have 18 teams and players (just blank entries from 0 to 17) but FfH2 needs 35. Copy this into the map file in the right place:

You might also want these:
Code: 
	Randomize Lairs=true
	Randomize Unique Improvements=true
	Randomize Goody Huts=true
EndMap
and from what I've seen these additional teams and options won't keep the map from being used in vanilla BTS.
