It's Ok.. I've cracked the language barrier... should have the thing up and ready for the end of the weekend as I'm finally getting to grips with Delphi!
Talking about languages, how many of you out there have seen/purchased foreign language versions of Civ3... are there translated versions or was that just my imagination... let me know, see usual contact details below....

Hi!
The map is really accurate, but sometimes this causes worse gameplay.
In my opinion the British Isles are too small. Maybe add one or two land tiles in Scottland and make a land bridge to Ireland, because otherwise the English will fall back very, very soon (as you already noted), because they can only build two working cities. Ireland would make that three and an additional land tile would make them better. You can also make the Scottish highlands a little flatter (hills) for more settlement opportunities.
Norway: The Norwegians lived along the coast of Norway (and still do). The northern coast of Norway is full of mountains (which is geographically correct), but this makes it impossible to build cities there. You could place some grassland tiles north of the mountains and give them some fish & whales to be able to grow. This would make the geography of Norway less accurate, but would allow a historically more accurate settlement.
Corsica/Sardinia (the Islands west of Italy) definitely have no mountains that are higher than the ones in Italy. A more correct terrain would be hills in the north, plains in the south.
There are forests norht of the mountain range in northwestern Africa. Small ones, but you could add one or two.
The map you created is based on today's surface of the world. In the olden days Germany (for example) had way more forests than it does in you map. Caesar wrote about a vast area of forest expanding from the Rhine into Slovakia. In northern Mythology the "Myrkwid" (Mirkwood) was seen as the largest forest on Earth and was -guess where- in Germany.
North America and Russia had more forests, too.
Iceland: The tiles NW of the village has to be grassland. This area of Iceland is very fertile.
WOW! So much criticism. Sounds like I don't like your map. No! This is the best world map I have ever seen for any CIV game! Just great! I hope you accept my criticism as constructive and with good intentions. Great job!
1.15 Added Pirogue For England, Rome & Japan
........Also increased cost of producing a settler
........Was released as a Beta patch, no installer
1.16 Added New Installation Program
........Rome AI set to build more ships
........Pirogue given it's own directory and a copy of Galley files
........Was released as a Beta install program
........Also added several bugs! oops!
........Would crash on Windows 9X Systems oops again!
1.17 Installation Program Fixed
........Tested on Windows 98 and Windows XP
........Civilopedia entry for Pirogue improved
........Russian city names corrected (my thanks to Vasiliy Beliaev)
........Civilopedia files now amended, rather than replaced
Before running the install program.....
If you have previously installed 1.16 delete the "Modpacks" folder inside your Civilization III folder...
If you have previously installed 1.13 delete the "Marlamap" folder inside your Civilization III folder...
This will be the last time I change the modpack layout (I promise!).
Suggestions are still welcome on this Map.
If you wish to provide any translations for the pirogue's civilopedia entry (I understand that there are *some* translated Civ3's out there) then please contact me.
I'm looking to help pull together a Europe mod next, i.e. I will take Joe Bloggs map, John Smiths spanish mod, Jack Jones polish mod etc.. etc.. etc.. and pull them together in one easy to install (if rather large) package. Yes I AM looking at a full set of graphics for each Civ. So if you have ideas on what I should be looking at then please contact me!

If you want to play with less then 16 civs in the correct locations you will need CPT v1.02 to be sure that they are placed on the right place.
Just replace the CPT.EXE that followed the map with the one that can be downloaded in my thread. (or wait until the installer is upgraded to contain it)

Same comments apply as what I wrote for version 1.17

Great map! There is no other word for it. I had just a game as Egypt and enjoyed it very much!
Sorry, if that has already been reported, I lack the time to read the whole thread. But in the area south of the Sahara desert something was wrong with the rivers. Some tiles next to rivers did not allow irrigation, and some cities adjacent to a river needed to build an Aqueduct. How can this happen, or is it intended?
EDIT: I was using the 1.13 map. Maybe it has changed in 1.17.
Maybe I'm d/ling this wrong, but when Irename the attachment to a .zip, it tells me I have a fragment and it doesn't work. The one off Civfanatics says that it dropped files and is empty. Is this my fault, or the server's?

I have the same problem.
someone mentioned that there were problems for certain browsers but it worked for IE.
...However I am running IE (version: 5.00.3105.0106CO)
tis better to be thought stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
