Let's get to work: MP maps

[Orda Khan]

Question.......

Is this an improvement?

I know it's *a bit* crude , but it's just to show it can be done.. And so that someone could test that it works in MP too, as I'm currently having massive problems with my comp and Rome. Don't look at the map, just try it if it works

[Cheetah]

I named the following maps:

Noricum location 105 102
Pannonia Superior location 110 97
Syracusae location 105 46
Gibraltar location 12 52

copy+paste the following text into your custom_locations.txt file (Activision/Rome - Total War/Data) and you can use these maps in MP:

Has anyone tried the pyramid-map-thingy in MP?

Just to confirm that it works so we could proceed to do real MP maps.

Re: Historical battles

I really don't understand this editor tool at all. I can edit a map ok [ still preferred the previous editor tools though ] but when it comes to picking armies and units, it will not work. Why are some of my editor toggles greyed out? All I seem able to do is edit a battle description and choose a home faction.
Anyone got this working?

.....Orda

[The_Mark]

You can create an army, can't you? First make the army, select it from the factions tree and you can make the army's deployment zone (The depl. zone button get colored). Once you have placed it you can place the units (units bttn get coloured), assuming you have still the army selected.

Still dunno so much about the unit placement bit, I have accidentally wiped out entire armies. The editor is sometimes a bit awkward.

And if you find a way to add a working fort...
