The map should do... Is there another bug in CPT?

All you should hve to do is to select what civs you want from the dropdown menus.

No, it doesn't seem to work.
-I open the Scenario, Marla's World Map
-I select myself as Rome and on the right, I choose all the civs except America, leaving one box as NONE.
-I start the game and save it immediatley as fixed.sav
-I click on the Correct Start Positions shortcut then after about 3 seconds I get a little window that pops up that says Invalid Type in the title bar and an OK button. That's it. I click OK and nothing happens after that. I try to load the file but CIV III says "failed to load file".

Can it be fixed Dr.?

I start the game and save it immediatley as fixed.sav

There is your problem. Save the game as FIX.SAV, then select the Correct Start Positions.

CPT will save the corrected save game as FIXED.SAV. Then Load FIXED.SAV and away you go.

The script changes fix.sav to fixed.sav
If that weren't your problem, report back.

PROBLEM WITH MAP

Since map has custom size, it needs a rule chages.

But, the problem is that RULES are not UPGRADED to 1.17f

No upgrades to UU and similar things.


P.S.
Also, in patch Aluminum & Oil is impossibile to find on Plains.
Although I would make them stay as they are now. It's a Custom map anyway.


P.P.S.
This map is posted at www.civ3.com

Hmm, I see you fixed upgrade problems (v1.18 is newer then one posted at civ3.com (map only) )

But, there are many other chages in 1.17f BICs wich are undocumented.

-pop&building defense is 16 (instead of 8)
-rushbuilding unhappiness lasts 40 turns (was 20)

-Aluminium & Oil is no more at Plains.
-Aluminum can be found on Tundras.


For details look undocumented chages in 1.17f patch thread (general), and excel spreadsheat from Nero (files).


Suggestion:
Reset map to "default" 1.17f rules and then make your chges from scratch (map size, extra ship units, etc...)

That way you'll make map 1.17f compatibile.

OK, I got the 1.18 and started to play it... then switched back to my own customized (default rules with minor map changes) 1.13. Since the new patch is supposed to stop building new cities once optimum size is reached, requiring 3 pop for Settlers is probably unneccesary (and since I wanted to see if Siberia still becomes the great melting pot of cultural diversity, I wanted the AI to expand as fast as it normally does.)

But here's my other comments (the changes I made):

Thebes is too far north. You have it where modern-day Cairo is. It should be down around that Incense where the Nile splits.

Washington seems a bit too far north, too. It looks like it's where New York is.

Still no Horses in North America... But then add to that the fact that the only sources of Saltpeter in North America will be claimed by the Aztecs almost instantly (even though it'll be centuries before they know it). If you're going to stick with "historical accuracy" on the Horses, then shouldn't the Americans have the Saltpeter monopoly? I added horses myself. Since you need Navigation to trade across Ocean, it's far too long to wait for someone in Europe or Asia to agree to trade with you.

Another nifty thing I did on another map:

Set Gold to a Strategic Resource (requires Currency)
Set Marketplace to requires Gold
Set Gold as Default Money Resource (when you enter a goody-hut that gives you money, a Gold will appear in that square)

Yes it works fine.
No desepering resourses becues of altered rules.
But, some rules should be upgraded to 1.17f

UU looks done.
16 bomb defense, some techs costs etc...

Sory for misunderstanding but that's just a setting for random maps in World Size menu in editor (or when making new custom maps).
You can't make existing maps bigger.

You can't resize the map. It is coded in the map data, and the World Sizes info in the BICs are only used if you select to go to customize world.
