Maps for RoM

I think that you should have 14 or lower [preferably the older civs i.e.: Rome, Celts, Babylon, Egypt, India, China, Mongols, Greece....] Revolution Mod would fill in the rest.

EDIT
sorry about the double post lol

Here's the Europe map. By the way, this is the map I'm using as a base for my Punic Wars scenario, on which I'l still working, albeit slowly.

Thanks to a recent post by JEELEN, I found out how to give civ-specific city names within the WBS. That means I can make it so that the cities in GEM for ROM will have the correct names, and thus will be even closer to the real GEM experience. I'll get to work on it tonight, but it's late so I won't have it up 'til tomorrow.

I'm still working on this, but I have a question. I decided to look up some resource maps and change the distribution of ROM resources a bit. Basically, I removed all resources that would be out of place in the year 6000BC - so no coffee in Asia, no cotton in America, etc. Good idea or bad?

Anyway, here's a standard-size Eurasia map that I converted.

Isn't cotton native to american southeast?

It would seem so. But you get my point.

 

[JosEPh_II]

yeah

ALright, I had a problem adding the city lists in GEM for ROM, so I'm afraid they aren't in. I did, however, rearrange the resources - as described earlier - and a few start locations a little bit; let me know if that was a good idea.

I'm also including the other three maps I've converted in the past, so they'll be easier to find. I've made small tweaks to some of them, but nothing major.

Just wanted to take a minute and thank you, Jabarto, for converting all these maps and maintaining them the way you have.

I have played many of the maps you have made available to us ROM users, and they have provided me many hours of fun!

Please keep it up!!!

Sure thing.

Anyway, I recently downloaded MapView 2.0 (excellent program by the way) and decided to try making an up-to-date cutout of the GEM map with it. This is identical to the GEM for ROM except that there's no New World and there are only 14 civs.

Keep it up!

 

[Jabarto]

I will.

Thanks to MapView, I'm able to work on a new project that I've been wnating to do for a long time; make the largest Europe map ever. It's 95x190 in size, and while it's the first map I've ever made from scratch, I'm confident that I can make it a competent, if unexceptional, effort. It's in its early stages, and won't be ready for a quite a while, but I might post a screenshot of it once I get it developed a little more. It'll be for BTS at first, but I won't waste time in making it work with ROM.

I'm also thinking of making a thread about it in the general maps forum, because I'm a stickler for geographical accuracy, yet know little about it, and could use some beta-testing and advice from other mapmakers.

I know I've fizzled out on other projects I've mentioned before, but I have a good feeling about this one.

Currently I've added 6 new maps to RoM 2.6 but I don't think I've added yet Jabarto's maps so I've downloaded them now and will add to the patch

Cool, thanks.

Here's a screenshot of my Giant Europe map. As I said, it's still earl in development, so mind all the blank space. Topographic suggestions would be welcome.

I converted -sr's latest map to ROM.

 

[Agent327]

Boy, you're fast!

 

[Jabarto]

I chalk it up to not having any real life to speak of.

I have a couple maps I converted to have RoM Resourses by stripping all the ones set and setting it to randomize them Also added the 50 players/teams with none set I'm 90% done with the Tamriel Map Originally posted by -sr. When I tried to play it as is from his post in the premade maps section it caused the game to crash to I edited it in Notepad and used MapView 2.0 to strip the resources and set the map to snail. I'll post the file later today when I'm done with it.

I'm also working on a RoM version of the Palladium Fantasy RPG map done by diurnan. Though I haven't figured out how to re-add the markers naming areas nor how to set up the first set of Civs that are named by the setting, i.e. The Western Empire, The Land of the South Winds, etc. I posted on his thread about it.
