Map Size Poll

BTW, how is the new map working with Radar Map? I noticed that there may be problems with it. I'm afraid if we expand it any further, some areas will not be available via Radar Map, and you'll have to move there manually by scrolling...not to mention you'll loose quick track of what's going on at the edges of your Empire...

If I understood right the game changes the size of your map to fit it into Radar Map window. So it may look disproportional.

Hmm, that's not how I experience things... My radar map simply moved north and west - so now I can't see western and southern edges of the map. Do you see all of spain on your radar?

About 200 provinces, sounds good, I think, how many are in game now?

Hey, I am planning a mod; Viking Age: Total War. I was wondering if you guys could give some instruction on how to expand the map. Mainly thinking to expand it further north, a little more to the north than your map...

Drop in and tell us how, that is if you want to share the information

Yes, I see all Spain.

eadingas, compare my map_regions and ingame srceenshot I posted above and you'll see that the mini-map was automatically fitted to window. Don't understand why your map was not. Are you sure you play RTW?

Hmm indeed it works for you...and doesn't work for me... interesting.. maybe it's a matter of retaining original x/y ratio? Oh well, if it works for you then it doesn't matter.

It will be no matter if it work for everyone. After release of build 2 we'll see how it works on other pc's.
Very strange indeed. Maybe some options should be altered?
