	World Map Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Here's a partial world map, constructed from F4 data. It is currently incomplete, but gives an idea of Yang's world. I'll be placing our entire map and infiltration data in this scenario when I get around to it.

An updated world map including the placement of all Hive and Gaian bases, and much of the Hive's terrain.

Aw - hell. Rather than a .gif or anything it's an .sc - one of those files that you have to open WITH SMAC, I'll bet.

SMAC? What is it? A map file? Maybe that's why pic editors and Notepad were having trouble....

It is, in fact, a SMAX scenario. I'll compose a screenshot for it at some point. Making it a scenario allows me to incorporate elevation and unit information that I couldn't get from a composition of base screen shots.

How did you get elevation data? Did you simply look at grid? I can incorporate data on known landmark locations, probably later, and perhaps give a look or two. I think I already spotted a Hive base you haven't placed. Pretty good work

I thought I placed all 15 Hive bases. If I missed one, I can figure out where it goes pretty quickly.

I additionally placed all our bases, the known Angel bases, some rivers and fungus, and I carefully reconstructed the contour of the unexplored continent to our east and some of the terrain northeast of the Hive (Spartan territory).

I derived a lot of data by matching our unexplored terrain grid to unexplored terrain in the scenario editor, with trial and error.

Landmarks:

Looks like the Spartans have Garland Crater and the Angels have Nessus Canyon. The continent to the east probably has the Unity Wreckage, but I'm not sure.

I think I have all the elevation data (except Nessus Canyon, which is maddeningly difficult to replicate) and most of the data that can be gleaned from Hive infiltration maps. Now all of the continents are plain to see! However, I cannot distinguish between flat lowlands and ocean, so the continents may look a little different that I built, and I can't spot small islands and most narrow landbridges.

Here's a picture of the Hive's territory and the lay of the world, for those without SMAX.

We do, but that will change continuously, and can be easily accessed from the F4 screen (for those that can open the turn). Yang has a total population of 50 as of our last turn.

Great work CT It is truly a magnificient map. Consider yourself Chief Carthographer of Gaian Union . Hive teritory looks interesting (Yang expanded more to the north ), taking central part of his teritory would be a great boon, but we are not ready yet.

Added a new Hive city (Society Grid) and routed a major river through Hive territory. Improved terrain near our bases.

CT, could you please update the map above (the screenshot) with the newest map data?

Scenario containing our world map, including most rivers. Some of the rivers on Yang's east don't drain to the sea, and it's maddeningly difficult to get the scenario editor to reproduce that, as it lowers land of its own initiative to try to get rivers to sea. This can also produce some of the distorted contour effects at Yang's north, if the game lowers land past a 1000m threshold without updating the contour.

Thanks!
I'm not SMAX challenged but to have it in browser is more handy as SMAX changes my resolution (works bad on the same as Windows), so I can't view browser and smax just by alttabbing.

Maybe, but the scenario contains much more information than I can put in a screenshot. The entire landmass of the world (give or take a little) can be seen, and possible Spartan invasion routes can be calculated, for example.

It wouldn't be much different now. Some forest probably grew, but not much has changed. I check for new Hive cities every turn.
