I am currently making what should be a wonderful map of Europe based on the Harlan Europe Image.

It is coming along and I should have it done in the next few days.

Believe me, it will be worth the wait! It's dimensions are approximately:

15 degrees West Longitude: West of Ireland
42 degrees East Longitude: Caspian Sea
32 degrees North Latitude (south edge): At Thebes on Nile with Sinai
62 degrees North Latitude: (north edge) Includes all of Scandinavia and Iceland

Now I must finish grading student papers before I get to the more pressing task of working on the map.

I've completed a map of Europe, West Asia, Eastern North America and Mid-Africa on a large scale... the specs to be exact are

90W/90E/90N/15S

it's found with most other maps that have been created on my website...

Omni

and just on another note... why do you expect us to create a map for you... if you would like anything else you might wish to change tone with your questions... we are here to improve the game, not to meet your desire...

I second the thanks to everyone that makes mods, and maps or anything else to make the game better. i always feel quilty because by the time I come upon a problem, someone has already figured it out and rarely do I have anything new to contribute.

Keep up the good work

that's what i call politely asking if someone has done free work for you...

[Kreisky]

Hmm...
I didnt want it to look like i am not satisfied with ur work, because I am. Sorry guys if I asked my question the wrong way, because I didnt want it to look like I am not thankful for ur work. I tried doing the map myself and now I understand why it takes so long doing a map that is perfect (or nearly perfect).
The reason i need the map that quickly is because I will present the game on TV and I´d like to have a map where Vienna could flourish, and thats only possible in a huge map

try taking the world map(any of the availiable) and do a scenario without any civs which would be near vienna(e.g. no german, french, etc)....

Kriesky, if you want, I could send you a first final draft of the Grande Europe Map based on Harlan's image.

I've spent like 8 hours editing it and it's in good shape. Just need to let Harlan have a look and make changes he suggests before posting it somewhere.

BTW, where does one post these?

As a temporary post.. most maps and things have been passed on to me until Mark gets the apolyton one up... so if you'd like you can email it to me and I'll post it with credit to you.

To Mark:
Not a bad idea, but i`d like having Germany too, because conquering Germany is something I dreamed about a long time ;-)

[Savant]

Thanks Omni !

We'll pass these on to you when we get closure, probably in the next few hours or a day at most.

Two maps will be included:

Grande Map of Europe (200+ kb; gigantic scale)
L'Europe Petite (39kb; small scale)

To keep you posted, Harlan has sent a copy of the Grand Map of Europe to Markos so it should appear anytime.

I have sent a copy of the Petite Map of Europe to Omni so that he may post it on his site.

I also have a saved game for the Petite Map of Europe circa 1750 AD but have to figure a few things out like whether it can be saved as a scenario or if some other alternative exists to play it as a saved game. See, I slightly modified the original \gamedata files, like advances (the Fascism issue) and a few units. I suspect if someone played the game "as is" it would crash on a system with different \gamedata file info.
