Re: Zen\'s Europe map
 

The map was adjusted to fit balance concerns as well as make some of the aquatic racial advantage less. So there are some historical innacuracies (also to fit the map geography).

I'll change the .map file for the plains that I missed.

I am going to make a semi-historical scenario for it, but I'm having problems coming up with exactly what type of economy since I've never played M:TW.

Re: Zen\'s Europe map
 

The maps folder contains only .map and .tga files and the current games have .2h, .trn and a ftherlnd files. My newbie question is this: where do I put the .rar file?

Zen,
Eastern Med zone (where Cyprus is located) is "Plains" instead of Sea, that's rather an oversight than a design issue I suppose ...

starfighter-

*.rar is an archive file. it can be extracted with the software found here:

Inside is the *.map and *.tga

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Put the .map and .tga files in the Dominions 2 "Maps" folder. They are used to generate a new game, which is stored in ftherlnd file. Then players submit orders .2h files (not to confuse with pretender designs which are also .2h files but in the newlords folder...), and processed turns are .trn files.
Once a game is started the .map file isn't used anymore, only ftherlnd is, but .tga is still needed (to display the map !)
