It would be better to ask the question in the Creation and Customization forum, where the mapmakers hang out.

It would also help to tell us what isn't working; I downloaded the .biq and started a game with it, no problem.

When I downloaded the game, I had no choice of opposing civilizations, and all of the rulers were called President America.

oh good some replies. If you want to move the thread or whatever that's fine. The main problem is that it simply doesn't load,at least on my game; it stops at the "scenarios" part of the bar. Also, if you can get the names fixed that would be fantastic; I couldn't figure out how to do that; the countries were all supposed to have generic names like "president American" and "President Russian". so if you can figure out whats wrong with the map or if it's my game or what that'd be great
thanks again

Delete names in the Player Properties page. Edit them instead in the Rules page under the civilizations tab. That will solve the problem with the names.

 

[upthewall]

But I did exactly that; from the rules tab, not the player properties.

 

[Yoda Power]

Make sure they are left blank then in the Player Properties.

all leaders were called american and the game freezed at the loading scenario stage.

thanks yoda! that fixed the names bit. Now all that's left is the freezing up at "configuring scenario" if anyone could figure that out i'd be very grateful....

You might want to download Steph's Editor in the Creation and Customization forum and check the .biq file with that. He has a fair amount of diagnostics in it and that might help you sort out some problems. See this thread for the latest version.

The game froze for me, too, but it eventually worked itself out. I think the issue there is the sheer number of things in the scenario to process; it took a good 15-20 minutes for the game to start for me.

It DID eventually start, though.

thanks, I downloaded it but couldn't figure the bloody thing out. would someone else mind taking a lokk? i'm afraid i'm just not that tech savvy on this

 

[upthewall]

ok, i'm just letting the game run for a while and seeing if it just needs a really long loading time. and for some damn reason I managed to fix the names of the leaders with Yoda's advice, but now all the goddamn titles are set to "king" and i have no idea what the hell it's about.

 

[upthewall]

well now I just feel like an idiot. It really just did need like 10 minutes to load. Thanks guys for everything, and if that title thingy could be looked at that'd be great. Thanks again!

you can fix that in the editor at the 'civilizations' tab... or what it's called.
