Alexander scenario map

[DaddyCool]

I'm not big on scenarios, but I took a look at that Alexander map, and I love it.

How can I play a normal game on it? I can't seem to figure it out.

i think this will work
- load the scenario
- go the editor(cheat mode)
- save the map(from the "save map" button )
- exit the editor and the scenario
- go to new game
- launch the editor
- load the map(now you should have a clean state with no extra slic or whatever)
- put your settings for the starting places, etc
- save as scenario(my guess it that if you save it under the alexander scenario pack you will also have the same units, etc)
- you should be done

btw, moving to ct2-creation

Like Daddycool, I think the Alexander map is awesome, and wanted to use it in other scenarios.

Mark, I followed the instructions you gave, and loading the saved map creates a page fault and stack dump and crashes the game to the desktop.

I thought that it might be due to the Alexander map's unique size [in the Const. file in the scenario folder, "gigantic" map size is redefined for the scenario], but even after changing my basic Const. settings to match I crash every time.

Has anyone been able to successfully save and load the Alexander scenario map?

yes, i tried it too and the game crashes when i try to load the map i saved....

with the samurai scenario everything worked great btw...
