a picture of the map complete with coordinates? (kind of like latitude and longitude) I can't really place charcters or armies becuase I don't know exactly where they are.

thanks.

my first suggestion would be to read up a bit on the tutorials ..

you'd than find out there is no need for such a map, as you can use the command "show_cursorstat" ingame or get one of mirage of available freeware/trial version tools so you can look the co-ords up for yourself ...

just get adobe's photoshop trial version and you'll be on your way

Many image editors will provide you with an x/y location for your cursor, this is how I do it. show_cursorstat is a good alternative.

Remember that the y coordinate is the wrong way around compared to the way images are measured :wink:

Instead of get 'trial'ed with photoshop and run into probs after the trial days, better download free, opensource progs, like GIMP:
It has as much functions as photoshop and there is no hook or advertising cramp on it like on most 'shareware' progs:

Also there is a free .dds plugin for GIMP (useful if you want to step into skinning own units).

(ah and by the way I could need help, if you know a lot about the Greeks on 840AC -> http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119455&page=6 ;) )
