I want to build a map where the dimensions give the map greater height to width. I can't script so i can only use worldbuilder, but i can only edit current maps which only either have the same dimensions, i.e. 100x100 or a shorter fatter world, say 120x84 (made up). Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks
jim
 
You don't need to script. Just look for the CivWorldInfo.xml file in Assets/XML/Gameinfo. Copy it to your Custom Assets folder, open it with Notepad, then change the numbers for the grid sizes.
 
Ah thanks again willem :-)
oop, ummm stuck :-/
I have the file and have pasted it, i'm just not sure what to change...
Do i delete all but one map and change that, or keep it all and just change the one map?
I'm assuming that i just take <iGridWidth>10</iGridWidth>
<iGridHeight>6</iGridHeight>
and change those numbers but i'm not 100%

Click to expand...

Just change the values of the map size that you're intending to play with, or all of them if you want to try different setups. Just don't delete anything though, once you've placed the file in your Custom Assets, the game will use it as your default map sizes. If you're after a custom map, this may not be the option you're looking for. Sorry but I can't help you there. And yes you're looking for GridHeight/GridWidth. And each number represents a block of 4x4 tiles
