Hello guys, here's my mod project, starting in 615 BC, when the Assyrian Empire is Dying, and the rise of the oriental Empires

the modeller is me, but now, with almost everything is set, our mapper is un-contactable and inactive, so we need a mapper... in fact, there is a rough loadable map, but it was have some problems with the coastline and port placements
Many thanks to Comrade_General the map is fine and progressing now

Very nice stack of units there!
Can you show me some of the unfinished map?
the rough area is here

but the map coastline is error too much, I'll think it would be better on new map
...that's pretty similar to the PI map, looking at it.
the difference is Arabian peninsulla should be represented at full (we have Saba there), and Etiophia as well
and the map goes to further east at india...
I have rough map_heights of it maybe I'll send it later, still busy with modelling
You can email me the map files I will probably look them over when I get a chance.
ok thanks, I'll send the files after I finished this, the last factions to receive units is Iranian factions (media and persia), and they are half-done now

latest test build has been released, the only flaw here is there is no campaign T.T

This mod is really good! Nice units, well researched, awesome soundtrack! Makes we really want to get this map working for it. :)
When I find the time that is...
haha thanks, don't worry, we'll be patient :D
Sent the map files to you then. The coastlines look all nice and neat now. :)
Many thanks comrade : ;D
now, I just need to put proper regions and all would be done! WOO HOOOO!!!!
here's the map progress.... duh.... ::)

BTW, Comrade, all that left is now just putting correct regions and stuffs, wanna help in this too? ;D
You seem to have it down. It's not difficult, just time-consuming (and I haven't the time). ;)
Looking good so far! :)
Wow, nice mod! Will download and play when you have a release with the campaign in. Been looking for an excuse to dive back into RTW again. :)
wow, thanks marcus
speaking about slow but steady progress o mapping

Looking good. Just remember there are a limited number of settlements you can add, so try to prioritize the provinces you need and spread them evenly over the map so's not to have overly condensed regional sectors. (now if only I followed my own advice)
btw, comrade, why the map goes on CTD if I put the city at the coast? I meant I tried to put tyre, but it always failed
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure you can't have coastal cities.
Yeah just keep it at least one pixel in. You can put the port right next to it then so it looks like one big complex.
sometimes, I wonder why if I add more than one region at a time, I got a message-less CTD?
oh, here's the latest map so far
(http://www.twcenter.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=222522&d=1337419889)
Sometimes you might choose a color that the game just doesn't like. I've even had it not like colors that were identical to other map_region files.
ugh..... colours that the game doesn't like? wow, that explains everything...
is you have a list on colours I should avoid for regions?
many thanks Comrade
No I don't think such a list exists. What I usually do is use another map, such as Mundus Magnus or even vanilla, and use the same colors for my regions.
many thanks for the useful tips ;)
first post updaited
major ahistoricalities are fixed now...

Looking good! Do you do your modelling or do you have someone else to?
I do the modelling myself ;D
Excellent work! :)
