you can adjust the map sizes.theres tiny,small,medium,large,huge and gigantic...and i think the same in aok

In CTP and CV III you can go in and make a Map bigger..say default for Gigantic in CTP is 70 X 140 X 2...I play most of my scenarios on something like 200 X 320 X 2..

BUT in Ages of Empire ..you cannot change the map size to expand to ones desire..or at least that what I have been led to believe..if its so,
please advise HOW because after a few short years of modding AOE I have been unable to

Not what is available in game menu mind you, but actually going into file and "tweaking" map size

The fact that there is a "sea power" map means something many mariners playig civ3 want badly: diverse sea units. This mean fleets, people! woohoo!

BTW: Maps will have the edges connected?

[MarkG]

hmmm no

[HuangShang]

its not a civ or ctp, rts's show a game where u r a general or luteinent (sp) not an emperor

[XarXo]

Yes, but the borders of a map always are used as defensive points, and an infinite map is impossible, so... edges connected could be great (or a border area where is impossible to build anything and you need to do some diplomatic agreements sorrounding the main territory).

Could be great include an option to connect 2 or 4 edges (also 1 or 3 in unidirectonal/wrap movements for put triggers).

Okay, the Conquer the World scenario sounds cool... hopefully it will add some depth and replay value to the game.
