has anyone tried to make their own map ?

i find it very time consuming to make a half crap one. (let alone a half decent )

the interface is so not user friendly.

btw im not including the semi pro people in the mod forum. im asking regular mere mortals such as myself. have u tried custom maps ?

I tried to build castle maps...

But as you have found it very time consuming with very little output.

However, what i have done is mod a few current maps.

ie. Agincourt - To put some spikes in the ground to make it a little more historically realistic http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

I think possibly this is the way to go, use current maps and change them to your requirements

I don't like using premade maps because then it isn't mine. The MTW team sure leaves their brain at home sometimes, I mean they had a great concept for a game but make some really bonehead mistakes. Like not telling anyone where the start locations are. That's like designing a baseball field and just having to guess where the batter is going to stand and where right field will be.

I too was looking forward to building some cool castle maps (Constantinople was the ultimate plan).

I'm guessing CA aren't going to write any sort of guide for using the map editor.

Has anyone had much success? Could you post a few tips or something?
