Maps for RoM

[zappara]

People have started requesting (Earth) maps for Rise of Mankind so I thought that we should make own thread for them. Please post here any maps you've made for this mod.

If I find enough time, I'll try to edit and add at least one earth map that will work with RoM v1.0 (just max 18 civs).

I'd guess you'd have to add those new resources to existing map mods, so you can't directly use them in RoM. So if you're having trouble with those.. don't complain here how low amount of sulphur you're getting in those un-edited maps

Unzip the file to 'Mods\Rise of Mankind\PublicMaps' -folder and when starting game choose Custom Scenario.

Giant_earthmap_for_RoM.zip
- map is set up for 18 civ, as the horses are just 2 or 3 in the map (untested BtS 3.13 and RoM 1.0)

RoM_Modern_Era.zip
- same map as above but starts from Modern Era. (untested BtS 3.13 and RoM 1.0)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Kalimakhus' maps: (untested BtS 3.13 and RoM 1.0)

Giant earth map
- Requires Kalimakhus extra stuff for RoM

To turn it into a scenario:
1 - Put the map in /Beyond the Sword/Public Maps/
2 - Start the game and load RoM.
3 - Select single game --> Custom Scenario
4 - Select the map in the list of scenarios.
5 - In the custom game screen select all the civs you like to place on the map.
6 - You can activate players up to 18 and more if you like.
7 - Launch the game.
8 - Now the real work, when the game starts civs are thrown all over the map and not in their proper places.
9 - Get into the WB and start looking for the initial units for each player.
10 - Remove the units placed by the game and then place them in their appropriate locations.
11 - Get out of WB then in again and save a WorldBuilderSave file.

HEy thanks ZAp ! Thanks for putting my map....Just took some time off from routine and I am back and the best thing is I have just quit my Job (rather inbetween Job !!lol) so i have some time ..And currently working a earth map with better resourse placement and scenario too......So look out...

 

[Lachlan]

I prefer Standard to Large Maps instead of too Big Maps

Because i have an old PC (2 Years and a few months)

 

[johnjohn]

use the Earth2 map script; works like a CHAMP and great on my average PC. Been using it with this mod and haven't had problems (until Ind Age crashes everyone else having).

 

[Lachlan]

But it seems that this Earth2 map script had only standard ressources...

 

[johnjohn]

The script seems to add in the resources ok. I've had all the new resources in all my games using Earth2 script.

 

[Sanotsuke]

Apart from the earth 2 script and giant map , any specific maps are in progress?

 

[Bastian-Bux]

Yes, one new map. Its basically Tarks ViSa map changed to work with BtS 3.13 and all 34 civs.

I tried to place them as historical as possible but had to move most civs around 1 or 2 plost. This was usualy to allow them to take best advantage of accessable space/ressources and/or allow the player to choose the capital spot strategicaly.

The following civs have seriously changed starting positions:

Portugal: Brazil
HRE: Eastern Europe
Russia: Eastern Russia
Sumer: South India
Netherlands: Borneo
Celts: Southeast Australia

In all cases this gives them significantly more "breathing room" plus access to several ressources.

Ressource placement wasn't changed from Tarks map at all, so some balancing might be necessary.

 

[Sanotsuke]

thanks for the map

Hi Zap how can we get more than 18 Civs?
Thanks for the map it cool!
I am a fan of all your work thank you for this Great experiance!

@xbeanerx

I'm no expert on map editing but would assume that you'd have to start game with 34 civs, then enter the worldbuilder when game has loaded with random map and then edit map. Or you could just edit one of those existing maps that have been made for 34 Civs. I'm not sure if Kalimakhus extra stuff patch allows you to start game with more than 18 civs (since playing with more than 18 civs requires SDK changes to DLL) since I haven't had time to start new game yet with that extra stuff.

 

[wotan321]

Kalimakhus' blurb at the top of the thread says:

You can activate players up to 18 and more if you like.

... which is a bit vague... is it up to 18, or is it more than 18?

I would think you could cut and paste the giant map onto the 34 civ scenario and it would work. In other words, take all the text after BeginMap till the end of the file and paste it onto the scenario that has the 34 civs in it.

Now why I didn't think of that! Thanks

 

[wotan321]

The civs will probably be in the wrong spots, but that is curable.

 

[wotan321]

Okay, to get more than 18 civs to work, you need to install the 40 Civs mod, which is really easy to do. I did that, then opened up my Frankensteined map with 22 Civs on the Giant earth, and it loaded and came up. Hoooray!

Where can i get a 40 civ Mod?
