These 3 maps are created with the randommapgenerator
-------------------------------------------------------------------
map Civ2_1 is a small flat map (40x50) small amount of land archipelago
map Civ2_2 is a medium flat map (50x80) normal amount of land varied
map Civ2_2 is a large round map (75x120) large amount of land continents

If you get the error message 'Failed loading map' create with the civ2 editor a map of the same size of the map you want to load ,then try to load the map again.For some reason this seams to work with me don't ask me what is wrong I honestly don't know.(Even if i compare 2 maps byte by byte (from my editor and of the civ2 editor) there is NO difference)

good luck and enjoy :-)
