Then it's pretty much time go to town on the map.

I fill in rivers and water first. Notice that the Donau is wide but if you build the river using water hexes it will not read as a wide river map. I suppose the easiest way if you want a wide river (and inflatable rafts) is to deploy a stream in the middle of where the Donau will be use the Convert all streams to wide rivers and maybe set it to width 1 - and then add water hexes for the rest of the shape. I guess it would be possible to make shallow water so units can cross..., but is the river really shallow in reality?

I like to use two computers (or two screens), with the Venhola map on one and the game on the other.

Save early, save often.

search the game guide for gWideRiver and then see the table of map editing hot keys a little further down that section - ^ is the one you want
