Try Harlan Thompson's map site: http://haven.apolyton.net/
(I bet Harlan's hanging out for a Civ 3 scenario editor)

Ok, I have restarted this thread because it finally looks like my scenario is taking shape. New ideas are making it in all of the time. Only yesterday I was thinking about unit slots (which are now complete with sounds for the first event file) and came up with a new idea that I am very excited about.
Each time I've needed to ask questions of experienced designers I've created a new thread. All my questions will be confined to here from now on.
I need to ask now how fortress and fortify work together so that I can complete unit stats.
Just need to confirm that the defensive bonus of fortify command and a fortress are cumulative. So with a unit initial defense factor of 7 should work out as:-
(7+50%)x2 = 21
and in city with walls
(7+50%)x3 = 31.5
Two further questions:-
what happens with the decimal point?
Do city squares automatically have fortresses as they do irrigation, roads etc and so make defensive factor different as to what I have worked out above?
