World Map _ Correct Starting Positions

[BlahBlahBlahBla]

Hi

Just purchased conquests expansion.

Want to play on a world map with correct starting positions for all races. Also wish to have all races available to play on this map.

Is this possible? Am I asking too much!!!

Any help appreciated.

There are lots of world maps with correct starting places for C3C - it al depends on the size you want. For reference, a huge size map is 160 x 160, so beware!

Rhye's - 180 x 180
el mencey's - 362 x 325
el mencey's - 256 x 256

Hi

Thanx for the help. Downloaded all the mod packs, great.

I just want to point out that it is literally impossible to have 100% accurate starting locations with every civ on the map as the Byzantine capital (Constantinople) and the Ottoman capital (Istanbul) are the same city. Usually, the Turks are moved to the Caspian Sea and their capital renamed "Ghuzz".

Um, shouldn't the Turks have their capital at Ankara?

 

[Tomoyo]

Their capital is Ankara now, but during the height of Ottoman power, their capital was Istanbul. Besides, the Hittite starting position is usually where Ankara is.

Indeed, Ankara was not at all significant in Turkish history until the Ottoman Empire lost WWI, certainly remote from the time of the pinnacle of Turkish strength (~1500-1700).

fun is expected but what do u mean by long I expected something as hard ,tricky or do u mean it makes much time loading ???

It takes forever to complete. I recently started such a game just to try. The first turn took ~30 seconds. Add in the fact that large maps usually take longer in terms of number of turns too. Make sure you have a good computer.
