Ok, still using version 6.21.. But wow!

You can read about it here.. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showt...?threadid=11996

This map combined with civ3's resource system actually was able to simulate the need for colonization by european nations during the renaissance! whee! I think that's quite incredible

Now, let's see.. if I had to buy iron from the Chinese at 20gold/turn... I wonder how much the oil will cost me from the Egyptians and Persians??? yow!

Thanks.. forgot to take a screenshot before leaving the game, but tonight I should be able to write the following 2 centuries. Tension is rising right more and more quickly, as 3 nations are now colonizing lands, and Rome has been involved in another war. And this time, there was a surprise.

But more on that tonight, on civfanatics

The communities inturpretation of the world map is damm superb. Casting my eye over England (where I live) I dont have any problems with its representation. I'll muse over the map and geography books some more before I put forward some *slight* tweaks for the map.

The masses oceans importance to gameplay have been fully accounted for, eg. the oceans around are much less than a what would be "realistic".
What would you have most? Land masses where most of the interaction is on or huge oceans that ships have to spent 100 years to cross??

Aluminium in Sweden??? Put an end to popups!

Why has somebody replaced then iron with aluminium in Sweden???
Sweden has got one aluminium factory, that factory is in Sundsvall (approximately at the barbarian camp by the east coast of Sweden). That factory only uses imported bauxite. There is no natural resource of aluminium in Sweden.

Someone must have replaced the iron placed in Sweden on my request with aluminium. This is a very strange idea, and I recommend you to take the iron back, because of Sweden's rich quantities of iron. During Word War II Sweden sold (was forced to sell) iron to Germany, and because of this, Germany never occupied Sweden. If they had done that, the allied would have bombed the Swedish iron mines, and Germany had been without iron (which would have been just great for me).
I see there is iron in the north of Scandinavia (actually in Norway). If you moved this about three or four tiles southwards, and removed the aluminium (or perhaps replaced it with iron) in central Sweden, I would be glad.

Thanks a lot for a great map.

How to get the map working with Civbreed
1. Put civbreed.exe and map.c3b in your Saves directory.
2. Start the scenario and save the game in your Saves directory as save.sav
3. Run civbreed from explorer. It will ask for 3 files, type in:

save.sav
map.c3b
test.sav

The window shouldn't just flash by, if everything went fine it will stop at the message:

"Done. Press any key."

4. Load test.sav

Make sure you have the latest version, 0.4.6.

Blast it all! I still cannot get the starting locations working. After I enter the 3 criteria, it asks about the fog of war, and whatever I type, the window just flashes by. There is some text at the bottom, but it goes to fast to read.


I have Windows XP, does that make a difference?

Maybe this the reason is (I've Win98):
civbreed.exe works in DOS window, means the sav file that you take must not have a space or a colon in the name! It must be a name in DOS format! So rename the sav that you had created (i.e.) to test.sav and the result you may call test1.sav then

Has anyone updated this map since 6.25? I've played several games on this map, and there are some changes I think should be made to North America (especially Canada).


  • Off the south-east coast of Newfoundland, there should be at least one fish. The fish in this area are what initally brought the English to North America.
  • Nova Scotia should be connected to the continent. I tried doing this myself, and I'll admit it's hard to do and still have the map look good.
  • There should be iron in the hills just north of the Great Lakes. Sudbury has one of the richest metal deposits in North America.
  • The northern-most horse should be replaced by oil. Alberta has almost as much oil as Texas.
  • Take the fish out of the lakes! None of the lakes in Canada has a big enough fish supply to feed a large city.
  • More of the tundra in Quebec should be forested.
  • Add more furs to the northern part of the continent! The fur trade was a vital part of Canada's and Britain's economies in the 19th century.
  • Add more luxuries to the entire continent. Wine would not be out of place in south-western Ontario (below the goodie hut). Most of the other luxuries would be hard to include in North America, but a case could be made to add gems somewhere.


Sorry for the long list, but it bugs me a bit to see my country misrepresented .

nope no-one has updated this map in a long time and put it out for the public.
I guess we considered 6.25 the final version in order of gameplay and realism issues. I will take a look on the things you mentioned though.

About world maps Get a bigger avatar today!

Hey,

When I see all the time we all take to make better maps, I think we should contact Firaxis so that they could put all maps in an extend version of the game.
I've played with your map and I see that even if there's more space for European civs in yours, the issue remains the same: The A.I settles everywhere, and at the end it slows down a lot the game. I wish I could send a mail to the firaxis team to ask them if it's possible to make impossible to settle in desert and tundra tiles (but still in flood plains).
The only way I've found to contact them on the civ3 website is the "ask the civteam" stuff. They didn't answer. Maybe you know how to contact them, well send me an email at marla_singer_13@yahoo.com so that we could talk about it .

yea Marla, I agree with you. It sucks having the AI settle everywhere, even if they dont have enough food and production to make a good city.
Firaxis should really deal with this, easiest way might be to make it impossible to settle on desert (not flood) and tundra, just like its impossible to settle on mountains. Maybe also hills.
