Maps for RoM

[Jabarto]

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.

You can add the markers in WorldBuilder. Look for one of the options at the top left of the toolbar.

As for the civ names, you can edit that with Notepad. Open up the WBS and look for teh lines like CivName and CivDesc. You can change those to whatever you want.

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've actually already converted those Tamriel maps for v2.6 RoM For large version I placed all the RoM resources by hand but for huge version I got lazy and used random resource placement. Those maps are in the v2.6alpha2 version which I've just uploaded... There's now 23 maps included.

Cool! (But where's the upload at?)

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

So, I like world maps the way most people like air. Anyway, my current project is to convert this map http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=305110

It's taken me a long time, because I had to redraw the rivers and replace all the resources by hand (if you're wondering why, load up the original and you'll see. ) I recently ordered a new atlas; once that arrives next week, I'll use it to help complete the map.

Also, Genghis Kai just announced that he's updating some of the geographical aspects of GEM for the next version of it. When he does, I'll probably convert that to ROM, too.

Lastly, I have a small Europe map on my hard drive that I'll convert for people with lower-end systems.

Okay, here's a few quick ones; a UK map, an Italy map, and a France map. All civs and resources randomized.

Triple posting for fun and profit.

Here's the Europe-Asia map. I originally tried to be as strictly realistic as possible with the resources, but I got frustrated and gave a little leeway to make it more balanced. By the way, if anyone knows of any good books or websites that detail reource production, preferably in the form of maps, I'd really love to know about them. My new atlas doesn't go into much detail on economies.

Do you guys remember that giant Europe map I said I was going to make? I finished it, but it's only for BTS at the moment. Once I get some feedback on it, I'll convert it to RoM. Feel free to check it out in the Civ4 Maps forum.

With the GEM map, it peeves me a little that I can see multiple resource types that I haven't yet got the tech for, such as Cotton, Dyes etc, even at the start of the game. It will take me ages trawling through posts and helpfiles to find out how to edit the scenario to change this, so can anyone tell me now how to limit a Civ to seeing only the resources it has the techs to see?

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

I don't understand. You can only see the resources you have the techs to see. Cotton and dye are visible without any techs, however you need calendar to exploit them.
