Editing, making new terrain.

[SMIFFGIG]

Is there any utility, that allows u to view/edit the terrain in CtP2 and CtP1. And is there anyway of adding tottaly new tiles to the game, that will be generated on random maps. This is one thing i would personally love to have a go at.



Just out of interest can u add a ice cap around the top and bottom of a map as in Civ3

I see on Martin Gühmann site hes made the hill purple? But how did he do this and can u go any further?

Thanx for the help

Yeah. TileEdit. Its what we have to use to create new tile improvements too (ala the CityX mod), and I made a Martian terrain set with it. It is pretty tricky though, because the borders all interact quite complexly, and you need to alter loads of files for each terrain you alter.

I don't think, however, that any terrains you add beyond the existing ones will show up on random maps unless you SLIC it. Or you could replace existing terrains, and they'd show up.
