Europe map

OK this is the first map i made but I've tested it a couple of times by letting AI fight on it a little, and then improved by letting ppl play on it. Reactions were positive so I thought I'd share it.

The point of the map is to let 3 players ally up against 7 AI's scattered across the map... The map is huge but action is intense, the players start in Carthage, London and Moskou, AI's are in norway, the alpes, berlin, the ural, turkey, lybia and greece. I've tried to draw Europe as real as i could, so you'll be able to recognize most cities (such as liverpool, berlin, warschau, reykjavik, ankara, rome, madrid, ...)

Hope you'll like it... Don't kill me if it already exists, I downloaded the game a week ago ^^ It's great btw.

Cheers

Warsaw? Where? I don't see poland here. It looks berlin (player 6 starting position) is in place where poland should be.

well of course berlin is kinda big but i checked position on the map, it should be a little to the right of denmark... warschau is right next to it, gdansk is a bit more to the top ^^

maps are different in summer- or wintertimes

Berlin next to warsaw is nonsence, they're far away to each other. Berlin should be closer sea and it shoud be placed more on west, it's more on west of Gdańsk, not south! (it's on south-west-west i think)

well that's the price for hexes and berlin as a big keep :p it's kind of a detail, too...

but i'll try to replace berlin then, i noticed moskou should be a bit more to the northeast, too...

cheers

I don't like big maps, but the idea is good.

Still, there are a lot of important countries missing... As this is a map of Europe, Paris should be more likely to have a keep than Tunis.

Also, Toulouse should be a little more on the right.

looks good, I think the berlin/warsaw/dnazig placement is fine. People need to keep in mind how big the squares are...

Is there a WML tag to add label to the village? Because with such nice map, it would be even nicer if all the villages were labeled by the cities they represent. (At least while playing I could learn a bit of geography.)

You can use [label]:

Code: Select all

[label]
    x,y=10,12
    text= _ "Berlin"
[/label]

This can only be used directly inside [scenario] (or [multiplayer]), not inside events. It's a bit hard to find, since in the wiki one naturally looks for such things in InterfaceActionsWML, not ScenarioWML.

i discovered recently you can actually move the map to the right a bit :p so i'll try to change it a little

Thanks for the replies

pretty damn cool, if you ask me

Example scenario file with labels for Olso, Stockholm, Kalmar and Copenhagen.

This should get you (or whoever feels like it) started on adding names of the villages.

If you aimed for MalmÃƒÂ¶ as the the town I named Kalmer, place it one hex to the left (down left).

Amsterdam? Rotterdam?
Kind of important city's I'd think...

In fact, I don't see the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxemburg at all...
