Is there a way to extract a map from a saved game?

[The Mad Monk]

One random world I played had a very interesting setup, and while I could probably duplicate it with a lot of time and effort, it would be so much easierto just yank the map out from a saved game.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

get a tarnier, I think they let you get maps from saves (hope you saved at the 1st turn though... or your going to delete all of the land impoveds...)

A tarnier? I don't believe I've heard of those -- where would I get one?

[Master Zen]

I think he meant "trainer". (?)

If so, you can find some at www.megagames.com

Ah...okay, thanks, I'll look into it!

If you can load the map into the editor you can also get the seed number off of it. The Civ III (vanilla) and PTW Editors will produce similar (not exact but close) maps based on the seed number, you can also change the land size, climate, temps, etc to see the various effects.

Also, if you go into the ini file, the world seed is shown there:

WorldSeed=12917438 as an example.
