Timeline : you're next in the list. You get to rename Atlanta or Philadelphia (since we took them at the same time)

I'd like to rename Philly to "Timeline City"

Unoriginal, I know, but at least this way my name can live down through the history of Apolytonia .

Excellent maps. Now I actually know what our world looks like. We need to get a lot of workers chopping by the look of it.

Updated my world map at last ! It took some sweat nd many reboots to make it without my computer dying.
I've made it with the zoomed view in Civ3, and that is much more work than to do it with the zoomed-away veiw, esp. for my old computer.
If anyone wants the full jpeg (more than 3 Mb), just PM me with your email adress, or a FTP adress if possible.

Spif: just add a layer and draw the borderlines on it.
If you update the geographical view, add it as a new layer to the existing map, set it to 25% transparancy and align it with the only geo-layer. then delete the old geo-layer->new map with the old borders ;-)

I saved my big picture as jpeg (my crappy computer could definitely not bear such a big psp file). Is it still possible to do this on a jpeg ?
If yes, could you be more precise (ie, tell in waht menu I go, how I do things etc.). I truly suck at PSP, except for copying pasting

	Put an end to popups!

I don't use PSP, but I know you could do all of this with Pixia (free at http://www.ab.wakwak.com/~knight/). Besides the shameless plug for a program I use and like, it's a very small program, and it might be easier on your computer for dealing with a big file like this... I'm afraid I can't help much with PSP, since I don't use it, but here's my educated guess: I'm sure you could draw the lines in PSP even if the picture was saved as a .jpg, but I don't know if it'd let you make layers while saved as .jpg like disorganizer recommended, which is def. the easy and foolproof way to do it (by making it easy to reverse any changes and toggle it on and off)... if you can coax your computer to temporarially save it as psp, then you could def. do it, and then merge the layers and resave as .jpg.

Sorry I can't help much in this case... if you need any other general help, though, just ask.

Spiffor: Actually, you're probably much better off with .pcx or .gif rather than .jpeg. IIRC, the filesize is the difference, but I've used .gif files for maps before and they came out rather well.

I would say go with gif, I'm not sure that pcx's will show up in most people's browsers.

Gifs are strange. I believe they have to conform to either the windows palette, browser palette, or they might be able to have their own. I find jpgs with a compression factor of 15 (see save options), and saved as progressive jpgs have a good quality/size ratio.
You might also look into png's. They are liable to replace jpegs as standards if those #!$% try to charge people for it.

	1250 BC maps Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Here are some, rather old (dating from 1250 BC), maps I took to show my friend. There's 11 of them, all in JPEG, high quality => little compression => big files. Sorry about that. (I'm not at home right now so I can't compress them now.) All except the first one are zoomed out and none of them show grids.


Apolytonia (zoomed)
South, southwest; Rome
South, southeast; Babylon and Russia (southwest from our point of view)
Southwest; Iroquois
West, central; France and some of Greece
Central; Apolytonia and some of America
East; Persia
West, northwest; Greece
Central, north; Germany and some of America
East, northeast; England
North, Aztec

it just as I was finishing this post, I started getting a 500 Internal Error well, I can't really complain, it's free webspace after all...
Hopefully it has started working again by the time you are reading this.
