how to set borders?

[winwithwallace]

I was wondering how you set the culture lines/borders in the Editor, for a scenario, or what have you.. any tips? specific techniques?

thanks.

right click on a city that you have placed on the map and you can change the values there.

but if you're looking to set specific borders, like having borders meet along a river or along a mountain range, it's nearly impossible unless the cities a placed rather specifically. i was using the civ 3 editor to make a map for my D&D campaign, and i found myself rearranging the geography to suit the borders rather than the other way around.

oh see, thats what i was trying to do. ie, set specific borders. hm, alot of disappointments today... oh well

how hard could it have been, though, to make it so you could lay down exactly where you want borders to be?

The problem with that is that the border would change immediately as soon as culture for any city changed. It's just not how civ3 creates borders.

Do you reckon they could fix this problem in a patch? Ok there could the normal culture borders, but it can't be hard to have a border just following national outline?

Russia, for example is completely lacking in population in vast areas of its territory, so this would be difficult to put cities in the right areas to create its borders accurately and still have realistic scenario..

I guess that would require substantial amount of code, I don't think they'll do non-cultural borders. I hope I'm wrong...

Not in civ3, they won't. That would be a HUGE change, much bigger than even the jump to PtW.
