Got to 262 BC in the Romani campaign. I just won a big battle against the Aedui, when they attacked Bononia with a full stack. Thing is, over half of the stack were slingers, so the battle got a bit insane, with 1000 slingers on skirmish mode running all over the place.

A link to the animated gif of the campaign so far is below. I kept it as a link as it came out a bit big (~ 2MB!), but it does have 40 turns in it. I'm going to try and come up with a cunning plan to cut down the size (other than rar/zipping it).

Behold, my campaign in 8-bit color! : https://i338.photobucket.com/albums/...seden0/out.gif

@ Fondor_Yards - I know how to toggle fow manually, what I meant was asking whether the Chris´s program could do that automatically.

@ Chris - If that was an advertisement for your program, it could hardly be any better. Excellent job!

It reminded me of the replay-world-map in the old Civilization games. It would be nice have something like that for EB too. It is a bliss to end a long-long campaign and just watch how the world map gradually changes to your color all over...

A suggestion - sorry if it is bothering for you - if the program could be activated by a script, it might maybe even possible to have it activated by pressing the end-turn button. Together with automatic fow on/off the end product could be this wonderful animated map just like you have made. I am just dreaming...

I'll have to look into the possibility of integrating it with RTW script. If what I want to do is possible, I have an idea that would be able to produce high quality replays, without the ridiculous filesize that the animated GIF would produce

Guys, is it me or are the Romani somewhat weakened? In my Makedonia campaigns so far with 1.1, always have to help them against the Epairotai after I kick them out of mainland Hellas. It also seems that the March of Time takes auwfully long to take place...
