I see that there is little progress on the map. I am willing to pay somebody from my country who is a great modder on RTW comunity (i won`t tell his name to you) to make us a great map based on what you, people, have done so farr in terms of mapping and provinces.
I will not give him money or such , but rather somenthing else. Less valuable financialy, but more valuable morally.
I will make this proposition to him and see what answer i get.

Its not neccesary.
Give me time, now I had done a new map using the RTW one.I dont get it working, but I understand how to make provinces, adding them at the texts and giving the factions the provinces.
The error I get is because I didnt resized the map_regions.tga, so It gives me a CTD.
May I ask why you wont tell the name?

hmm we must respect his choice caiusf. If Rex wants to keep the name secret we must respect that. But one way or another we definetely need the map now that the units are rolling. Guys i started a poll at the .org, i want to check the familiarity of the community with the civs we are planning to use and the three civs i want to use, the Aztecs, the Mayas and the Mixtc- Zapotec alliance. I really believe that this poll will demonstrate my point that we should add the three civs to our mod. You are all welcomed to participate. Thanks. Guys, now that we have the diaguita we have three civs, things are getting better for the mod, lets make that map and have sth to really play with.

I have came back from holyday. Tommorow starts work, including on this things. Caius, i know map is farr from beeing finished. I want a map quikly. If you promise me you can make a good working map in maximum 3 weeks , i will leave it to you. But i somehow doubt about it. Mapping needs experienced modders. Most of us, are not

rex you are back, thats nice, nice to see you. Rex since we dont have a finished map can we include meso america to our map to use it for the meso american civs too? I mean we will definitely have the mapuche, the diaguita, the chachapoyas, the chimu, the aymara the chanca and the agyarana but couldnt we include Maya, Aztecs and Zapotec in our release? Its a total of 12 civs if we include them, the game allows us that much. I will stick with you till the end if we decide to go through with this, i think it will be supurb. This is my timetable, its open to discussion. I read our previews posts. We said we needed 4 civs for a beta version. We now have the Mapuche, the Diaguita and of course the Inca. I will do the Chimu as soon as i finish some minor corrections on the Inca and the Mapuche, by the end of April we will have our 4 civs (except for the Aztecs, i will do the Chimu first, i need more time for the Aztecs). By the end of May, God permits, or mid June i can finish the chachapoyas, the chimu, the chanca and the agyarana (if you provide me with references), and then we can go beta. In the meantime i can prepare the Aztecs, Maya, Zapotec and have them ready by mid July. What do you think?

A map including both South and Meso-America will look rather strange, considering the fact that it will have to cover a large amount of teritory.Expert mapper definetly needed I will take this into consideration ....tomorow i will decide for sure.

I have decided, we will make a campaign map to cover Central America also.
Howewer, i say to you that the map will look very strange, unlike most of the maps. In 2 weeks i will came with a valid greyscale map. Then, start working on the provinces with Caius.
If all goes well, in one and a half months we can have a clue about how the map will look when inserted in the game...

um... I kinda liked caius's map...
we could have 3 maps, 1 including both south and central america, 1 including south america (caius's), and 1 including just central america...
Then we just set up 3 campaigns...

Rex we should have a map that is correct in geographical orientation. If the east faces west and everything is upside down this will cause much confusion and the mod will be virually unplayble i fear...
