EDIT: I've now got it to work so I've removed the pictures to make the page easier to view (though I've kept the one with the problem).

I've spent most of the day trying this and unfortunately I'm doing something wrong as well. Can anyone tell me what my mistake is?

Step 1) I picked a campaign tile as a base, welcome to 243, 53

Step 2) I put a distinctive feature there

Step 3) I saved it as "test", this created a new file called "test" which contained a map.wfc, which I put in my test_campaign folder (note the absence of a map.rwm

snip

Step 4) I added a custom_tiles_db.txt copied from the Sons of Mars campaign and altered for the new coordinates

snip

Step 5) To see if it had any effect I moved a convenient rebel, Captain Caspar, to 243, 53

snip

Step 6) I launched the game and went to the test campaign, Captain Caspar had moved. I sent an army to attack him, however on the battle map the 'distinctive feature' does not appear.

I don't think it's a problem with the campaign as Caspar has been moved. I could be placing it somewhere else, but AFAICT the co-ordinates match. It could be a problem with the map.wfc file, however I've tried it with the .wfc in the Sons of Mars campaign and the Teutonberg forest with no difference in results.

So I'm stumped...

Wierd...

Try sending me the files I will try to work out what you did wrong... Or maybe what I did wrong from my description.

Send me a PM when you send them

Do you have -show_err on? I noticed sometimes there's a problem with these custom tiles that doesn't show up any way unless you have -show_err and quit the game.

Unfortunately, there's no error message.

I had right the same problem , I tried to substituite the piramids with the correct ones but didn't work , may be there something else that we should delete or edit?
