	Suffering from ads?

The just newly released CPT fixes the compatibility issue. It was becases 1.21f introduced compressed saves, which messed it all up.

Finally, I can play the map properly. I like it.

	City naming Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I seem to have hit a problem. Playing as the Germans, when I try to found a second city the autoname comes out as Berlin, the same as my capital. This only happens on Marla's map, though. I'm using a fresh install of everything, with 1.21f and the newer version of CPT. I looked at the .bic file, but according to it the Germans only have one Berlin. THis hasn't happened with any other civ either.

yes I know fix for this...

open that marla map with civ3editor and find place where are all civilizations... Then take german. Now you see city names. click the Berlin and you see that there is one extra space push (I dont know how explain it better) after Berlin, delete it. Every german city has this extra space push so you have to delete it for every city. If you dont understand this take france and look the end of first city then look back german end of first city. Now you see there no extra space push in france cities...

everybody get the point?

	No horses in american continent on Marla's map ?? Get a bigger avatar today!

Now, this is the first time i started to play Marla's earth map after version 1.07, and as i recall back then there were horses on american continent too, now there is not a single horse there ?

Do i remember wrong or has it been modified or is this some patch bug ?

If this is the way Marla intended it, then its pretty strange, because as far as i know native americans used to ride horses.

Yeah, thanks Nakkis.
I think it is indeed time for another map update. Include the new CPT, and the German city fix. Among others, if there are any.

However, I think that removing horses from NA, though historically correct, just doesn't quite work, for this simple reason: America didn't exist until after horses were brought. It was founded by British, just like the horses were brought over by British. I think that it would be wiser to put in at least a few horse resources.

hi ,


Marla's map , well , one could write a couple harddisk's about it , ......

size , well someone is currently redoing it a bit , using the 49 square's on the bottom (or top) and making europe a bit bigger , same for jap's and a couple other places , so that one can play even more .

of course if some people are so "concerned" abou others working their behind's off , they could alway's start themself , ...........

afterall civ3 is about a game , and fun , not about ordering people around , because afterall , these people , who create mod's and map's do it for free , so maybe a little bit of respect and credit should go to these people , .............

last but not least , most people on this site have some IQ of at least 3 , 1; they have a comp and an outline , 2; they hve "heard" about civ , any number and last but not least 3 ; they found their way to apolyton


as for the rest , i would tend to say that Vonotar is in charge of the map , because one way or an other Marla seems to be gone for now , and what ever reason that is , i believe that it is not evenours to ask even , why ? , that is ones good right

have a nice day

yes panag, i seriously demand that Marla or anyone else obey my brutal dictats. The main points of my post were not "Brilliant map Marla" with some tongue-in-cheeky text to fill up space as is the nature of my personality. The main point of my post was obviously my power-crazy attitude to life and the very serious expectation of me to think that complete strangers who have obviously spent a hell of alot of hard-work/time/and energy making a map should now- in all sincerety- hurry up and churn out a couple more maps in 24 hours at my behest-

Unless english is not your first language, in which case I can assume something was lost in the translation- thus excusing you from not percieving the obviously light-hearted nature of my previous post.

	OK... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I think I will put new units to this map. If I edit the original civ3mod.bic those new units will not come to marlas map, only to random map. This because marlas map has it own .bic... So I have to edit marlas .bic to add new units. I will take those units from this forums and I will check them with animation shop...

So if you want me to add something resourses somewhere it really belongs tell here and I will fix it. Also if you have noticed that some civilization needs balance (does it have too much resourses or does it need more)
tell here...

Well lets see what can I make

sheesh *kneads temple with fingers*

Anyway moving on- I've been playing this wonderful map, starting with second-level difficulty just to get a taste of it, and I'm now in the modern age. Here's my question- how do you feel the AI handles a map of this size? in my game so far it doesn't seem to be up to it, lots of holes and distributed nations, but then its only on Warlord difficulty. Also, has anyone changed the range of aircraft and ships etc for the map for gameplay purposes?

As an aside, it occurs to me that a good strategy game that gives a realistic model of history can be measured by how well it can be played on a map of the world as realistic as the MarlaM.

-p_c, now impatient to try the MarlaM on Regent.

	Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I'm wondering, is Marla, or anyone for that matter, thinking of modifying the earth map once the C3 expansion comes out, to account for the 8 new civs and MP support? 'cause I love this map, used with CPT, but I'd rather have the 8 new civs than the map (no offence meant). This likely wont be, though, as with 8 new civs the map would probably need to be quite a bit bigger to support them all, and not squish everyone into 3 colonies each.

BTW, I feel rude for having not said it already , but Great map, Marla. I love the detail and accuracy, and the CPT support as well. You must have put a lot of effort into this map. Thank you!

Hello everybody, I am very dim and/or a newbie to Civ3 and maybe even a member of the Objectivity party (grin) but the long and short of it is

1) Where should I download the Marla Map suitable for the latest patch of Civ3?

and

2) How on (Marla's) earth do I get the Civs in their right places? I tried using the CPT (Civ Placement Tool) but unfortunately I am thick and so it didn't work. How do you guys go about getting them placed?

These answers have probably been given elsewhere in this post, but Poly is really slow right now and the forum search throws up too many spurious results. If somebody out there knows, and doesn't want to pollute this thread with repetitions, then sling me a Private Message and I shall understand

PS "Newbie" means "cool" or "wicked" or "awesome" in Chinese slang, but literally it means something very rude.

Ah, I may aswell plug my own effort!

"Civ3 on Earth" Version 8:

Civ3 on Earth V8 Only at Civfanatics.com


With Marlas permission I went ahead and in my opinion improved the map, provided worthwhile rule changes and provided accurate resource/luxury locations. The details of most of the changes are in the thread I made and readme file.

Over 3000 downloads and certainly a group of fans...and indeed I will be putting alot of work to improve it when I get the time. I hope to have version 9 out by Sunday night and it should have some pretty significant improvements.

	Suffering from ads?

Akoaz--I made a personal edit of it which assigns the correct start locations, eliminating the need for Gramphos's MultiTool to do this each time you start a new game, plus one or two other little rule tweaks which I can't offhand remember. I haven't had time to play that much since 1.29f was released, but I plan on wiping my calendar for a little test run of it this week. (As full as my calendar was this week. ) I'll post results if I get a chance, along with personal rule changes. I have played enough not to encounter any strange crashes...at least before the end of the ancient era.

As far as its size, I know it's one of the big bruisers, and it may well be the largest map out there. Most likely in the top two. To my knowledge, the size hasn't changed since it came out, but I could well be wrong. It's not that much different, if the size was in fact changed.

EDIT: My rule changes were not really rule changes. I just diddled around with the names of the Great Leaders...I couldn't have a game without knowing Patton was out there somewhere, potentially ready to kill me off.
