This seems the mod I was loking for , but coulld u post a pic of the colossus of Rodi to see how u made the battlefield?

Not for a couple of weeks, I'm afraid, as I'm away from my copy of RTW. However, as I said above at the moment, the Wonder buildings have just been placed in the middle of the tile that they occupied in descr_strat. This is particularly bad for the Colossus of Rhodes, because historically it went over the port, whereas in RTW the tile it's placed on is just a hillside.

I've approached a couple of people who I know are involved in editing battlemap terrain to ask if they were interested in making the custom tiles more realistic, however I've yet to have any interest.

Actually with the size it had it couldn't possibly have been in the harbour, it simply didn't have the size to be there. Some studies showed that its legts were too short for it to stand there. It was more likely to have stood near the harbour (so that it could tumble into the sea) on some raised position.

Interesting. The reason I couldn't put the Colossus on the beach was the square coastline that it would have created, however if I could legitimately place it further back... But, of course, the battlemap model has the Colossus bestriding the harbour, so we'd need a new model.

Thats very crafty, but I think you should use trees or something instead of a fishing village, and place it in mountains or some other impassable area so that you don't notice that you can't go there. You do realise that you can add models for dogs and pigs resources, so use them instead of camels and elephants.

Yes, all this was based on your post to eadingas a few months ago, the pigs, dogs, furs have all already gone... It's probably going to have to be tin and amber for the other two - and I'll have to add other resources of equal values to those provinces to make up the difference. I did try eadingas' idea to use different climate models but it wouldn't accept the wonder models.

And I'll try to put them out of the way as much as possible, but they have to be in the same province, which is fine for the gardens, but a little more tricky for the colossus...
