Hi welcome to the forum.
To find the co-ordinate when you're in the game (which is best as you can make sure you are not putting army in forest etc). Open Rome Shell - normally this is by hitting `¬ key below Esc on your keyboard, though different language keyboards may be different, when its open you see a black strip across the screen with a space for you to type text.
Hover your mouse pointer over the city or other position you want co-ordinate for and type (note its case sensitive):
show_cursorstat
in to the Rome Shell line and hit enter. That should then give you co-ordinate on next line.
You can get also get city co-ordinates if you open map_regions.tga in your image editor, but note that RTW takes the bottom left corner of map as 0,0 so in image editor you need to subtract the y value (height) from overall height of map to get the co-ordinate game will use.
Not used mods before? Looking for something small and fun?!Download the:
I just flip the map upside down to get the y value. Saves having to use my brain to do subtractions.

ok, i entered the console and typed show_cursorstat and it worked...one more thing, in the map_regions.tga each pixel (a,b) corresponds to the respective coordinates (x,y) ? like this: width (10px) height (4px) corresponds to coordinates (10 , 4)....also checked the link with vanila list of city coordinates (helps saving time)
thanks for the help guys, now i can continue anding new regions and changing ownerships .......
