Well, there is a way to make each civilization start with more than one territorry, but then each territory you give them becomes there capital, so they could have 10 territories at the start, but they would all be counted as capital territories.
I have run into a few problems trying to figure out the XML file that controls Conquer the World. There is a value for the width and height of the map which matches to the BHG map, but then there are 3 values after that, that I can't figure out exactly what they do, does anyone have any ideas???
Has anyone figured out anyway to make the countries start with more than one territory?? I would assume not, but if someone BHG? could let me know if it was possible, that would be great.

Just wondering what the status is of this CTW mod... it appears there has been no "creator" posts since 6/5/03.
This is all a great looking prospect btw.

Errr I'm a dumbass, didn't see all those replies when I first clicked this post.
1) Is it possible to add new territories by splitting up the existing territories and adding the new entries into the CTW_World_Map_01.xml file??
Yes, but it is just as easy to make your own. I started off modding the original files, and by the time I was done, I had completely rewritten the xml file.
2) What exactly is the CTW_World_Map_01_strings.xml file?? It has what appear to be random numbers to me, but I am pretty sure they mean something fairly important.
Its nothing really. You don't need to pay any attention to it, as RoN automatically creates it for you. It basically holds all the translated strings and values for you. Don't worry about it.
3) Instead of having a map of the world, can I change the map completely to become a map of only Europe so I can create a WWII Campaign that allows the player to attack wherever they prefer. I know I would have to follow the way the original .XML file is set up, but after looking through it, it seems very easy to follow.

Yep, you can do that. I basically did that, and had the same intention as you (WWII Campaign). You can't really do WWII though, as you can't set the starting age, or starting diplomacy or anything.[/b]
Finally...
4) Is there a limit to the number of territories that are allowed on the CTW map? Looking through the files, it looks as though it is very easy to follow the previous examples by using the RGB color codes
No limit as far as I know, and you would likely never encounter it.

I'm actually going to go against what most people here are saying. I think it would be better to consolidate alot of the territories (mainly the ones in mainland Asia), as having so many will undoubtedly make the game tedious... and historically it didn't really matter whether someone owned Afghanistan or Pakistan... so instead of just making the territories worthless, maybe just consolidate them and others? Also, maybe make Germany and the UK into just two territories each? When someone finallybreaks through one of the territories as the map is set up now, it won't matter much if they take two more or something... Map looks really good though; i'm also eagerly awaiting this mod!

I also urge you to modify the territory advantage. I think the difference between a level 2 and level 8 territory is simply too big when you play on hardest difficulty. For example, give the big territories 33% less bonuses
I would also like to see more overseas connections. for example, you could make small island in the middle of the great ocean could as little territories which allow you attack the other continents by different routes.
The whole ocean could be turned into small territories.
For example, both pearl harbour and Hawaii and midway could all be separate territories in the pacific ocean. During the second world war, the Americans conquested island by island until they finally reached Japan. (and nuked it). This could create those realy cool island hopping wars between nations. or
Also an idea is to increase the map size when the territory connections get longer. you could recreate some realy some cool maps like the great nothern ocean battles (on a huge map), where america and england are divided by a huge map

meabee we could help if only people would share their modification knowledge.
The reason I say this is that often people with a lot of knowledge, start a project which they never complete due to other intrest or other private matters.
Therefore if we share our knowlegde, other people can pick up where others left.
