MAP: Civ 2 Huge earth map to Civ 3

[AlmightyBob]

This is the latest update of the world map, ive inclded more rescource, placing them where I feel they should go, ive played the map quite a bit and everything works out ok, so the map is playable as is. if you don't what to have such an interesting time trying to trade for resources you may want to add more, but having less makes things much more interesting. also I've added goddy huts and a few barbarians.



original message: Well it took me a while and with the server so busy i had a hell of a time posting it but ive completed coverting the Civ2 huge earth Map. I made a few changes (not that many really just greenland) and i wasn't too sure about the placement of the recources, someone may want to go in and redo thier placement as i just kind of guessed where they should go.

Things are looking up! Do you have a screenshot of the new map compared to the one in Civ3? (I've heard Civ3 only has two zoom levels so an overall view might not even be possible).

[AlmightyBob]

I'm sure you'll be able to find screen shots in other threads of the earth maps that are included with civ 3. Trust me they are not very good, and if you want to see the map. simply open you Civ 2 map editor and open the World.mp. the only change is greenland and I had to put the resourses where I thought they would be found in real life. ie. oil in the mideast, alaska and siberia. Horses in central europe, China and central africa. Ect. Now that I think about it there should be recourses else were on the map. Perhapes we need to have a disscusion on where they should be placed to map it more accurate.

Could you post up a screenshot of your map anyway? Pleeaaaaaase! Cause I have neither civ 2 or 3 on my computer right now. Of course civ 1 is a different story. . .

Great work!! Look teriffic.. Now i just need to restart a few times until i start at my real location.. :-)

One thing, maybe add more resources? There might be to little of
them if you play 16 civs.

if you wanna know where resources should be put, a good place to look would prolly be the real maps provided at [url]http://haven.apolyton.net/[/urk]

there are special resource maps for some parts of the world and a lot of other interesting ones (if you can find them)

nuts, sorry about the echo, i accidentally clicked submit, then preview straight after. then I noticed that it was rong and changed it.

[AlmightyBob]

ok, after being begged I will post some images
here is the civ 3 world map
its europe, notice how england is misshapen and coverd in forest
notice how greece is all hills with no where to settle

[AlmightyBob]

here is the Civ 2 world map
again its europe, frankly its just a better map, or at least thats my opinion

[donarumo]

Great work on the map! This should make some people happy that didn't care for the original.

[cyril25376]

Thank you. Now there is Italy with Sicilian, with Greece
I'll certainly exchange the map when I've my copy.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Can you post some minimap shots (too see how big Europe now looks... it might be too big comparatively to the rest of the world).

[tleilaxu]

the civ 2 map that AB has done is 120 x 75...
anyone interested in doing a map that is 240 x 150 with each square basically ballooning into four? this would also allow for more detail, etc...

btw southern france needs more than 1 wine so that it can trade some....

Thanks a bunch =).

How did you do it? Was it by hard work, or did you find a way to conver these images?

I have been wanting the one that has the many Roman scens on it converted...

If it was done the hard way, How the heck did you do it with the map editor and no zoom option?
