    I want to make whole Scandinavia, but how? I can "cut" out denmark and south Sweden, but what about Norway, Finland and Iceland?

    You could try the method that uses Satellite data: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=57828

    Alternatively find a relevant part of map in an online or printed atlas and work out method of copying so that you can get coastline established to form map_heights.tga layout, follow some of principles in this tutorial and also see Myrddraal's guide to making a completely new campaign map:

    Hey, im making a campaign thats focusing on the east (parthia up to armenia, down to numidia next to egypt, and finishes at Greece, ive followed all your instruction but i keep getting the same error message "Could not create settlement at line...". Furthermore, i dont get a corrected regions file. I have no idea what to do, the region is the Nile Delta, and its in both Regions and Regions and settlement lookup.

    Thanks

    have a look at the examples in second post here:
    https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=85902

    see which of them fits your problem.

    "Regions and settlement lookup" in the campaign folder isn't used, but you do need to change the one in data/text/campaign_name_regions_and_settlement_names.txt

    Right I'm trying to cut down the map for M2TW but the map sizes are different. I'm cutting down the map_regions from (294,189) to (261,189) and I want to do the same to radar_map1 but it isn't the same size as map_regions. It's (249,124). How much do I cut it down by?

    M2TW does not work in the same way.
    I had also problems with radar maps, so just try. I would try with the proportional lengths, and perhaps you will have to resize radar map to fit with the original size, even if it is screwed.

    You have to purchase photoshop and imageready no longer exists in current releases of creative suite, creative suite/photoshop is not free for download. If you want a free image editing software, search for Gimp.

    Gutted. I don't really want to buy but I'm a bit of a novice and a lot of the tools are different in Gimp and Paint Shop and I don't understand what the Imageready is. Thanks though.
