Pacific-Centered Earth Map

[epicivfreak]

Does a Pacific-Centered Earth Map exist for Civ3 already? I've searched a bit and not found one.

Yes it does. Original vanilla game has scenario called WW2 in pacific and as i recall there is few modpacks centered around pacific (mostly chinese based history and japan based scenario from vanilla)

That's not what I was looking for - more like the pic in the link.

If you haven’t received help by now then you can be confident that there isn’t a pacific cantered world map available.

Quintillus’ editor has a feature that can convert images into a map for Civ 3. I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve heard that it saves a lot of time.

Quintillus' Editor is an excellent tool. It definitely does streamline making Civ 3 maps. Be aware ahead of time that part of the process is indexing the image - reducing the number of colors. This can take some patient practice to make it not frustrating. Once you get a biq it will still take some editing such as breaking up large areas of identical terrain.

Another alternative would be to find a biq map you like that is not centered on the Pacific. Then use a utility to adjust it - basically cut it in two & shift the halves around then recombine it. If that cannot be done in Quintillus' Editor there are other utilities somewhere here on CivFanatics that will.
