[WIP] Western Europe Map 90x130

[Shibbyman]

This is one my first maps and all has been going well up until now. All of a sudden, I can't load up the map without getting the "You have been defeated" message despite the fact that the map has cities placed (I checked the WBS in notepad) so I have no idea what I have done wrong. Could someone please tell me what's the problem and, if they can get it running, give me some criticism on the map (I plan on significantly thinning out the Eastern parts of the Alps and making placing some passes in several mountain ranges using hills).

The new version is now up with all civs working. Please comment on city placement (yes, I know that Barcalona isn't in Scotland I still need to fix a few things up).

I think the shape is actually very good, good job on that. However, I think you know as well that it's not finished yet, there should be some plains, resources (a lot of them please), hills, etc. I don't know what causes the problem concerning the defeat message. Maybe you should place units (I can't tell if that's the problem judging the picture). I'm sure somebody with more experience can help you with that.

Very nice so far. Wessel, I'm assuming you know WIP stands for Work In Progress. All maps need to start somewhere. He hasn't got around to doing the land features left. He posted to link for two reasons, for help and QCCC, and because it's required.
Also, I disagree with a lot of resources. I think with less resources, wars are more vital, and therefore... more fun. With iron here and horses there, theirs not really that strategic city placement, either.

I've got it working (I'm not sure what fixed it because I added some units and fixed some strange looking lines in the .WBS file). There is now just a problem with getting a few civs working (they didn't show up but I think that might be due to a lack of units for them as well). Thank you so much for that Wessel.

Zach: It's DEFINITELY a work in progress. This is my first stage of the map with just basic terrain. I plan on having a large amount of resources (the reason I made the map from scratch was because I wanted a map large enough for a lot of minor nations to be playable and viable (eg, Ireland can fit 4+ cities).

(Working map (still no real resources or terrain placement) will be up in a few minutes so you can look at city placement and mountains.)

Looks good so far. You can never have too many Europe maps.
