[REL][MAP][25x17] Huge map of Darien (From TA-Kingdoms)

Here I present a very large map based on the whole gameworld of Total Annihilation: Kingdoms,

For reference please examine this image

What is present in this map are 4 highly varied landmasses. For those who haven't played TA-Kingdoms, The nation of Aramon is rolling hills and grasslands, a typical European based setting. The nation of Veruna is an archipelago of tropical Islands, the nation of Zhon is a remote exotic jungle, with rough and inaccessible terrain; and the nation of Taros is a harsh barren wasteland, with dark crags and sharp mountainous regions; typically evil in appearance.

I've tried hard on this map and have stretched the editor to its limits on certain occasions. Although there is a lack of apparrent Jungle / Tropical tilesets/environments, I have managed to make do without. Plus I can't seem to force random resources NOT to spawn. Regardless, this map may overload some systems since it is 7x larger than the largest map and will take a very long time to complete. Each continent will play differently bassed on the nature of the terrain, such as those in Veruna having to take up a nautical proffession, whilst those in zhon will have to be carefull with city placement and space.

I hope you enjoy this.

Shadowlord,

I followed the instructions to down load the map and unzipped it in the recommended folder. I have "use mods" checked in options. When I start a new game this map is not in the choices to select from.

What do I need to do to use your mod map?

Thanks,

How are you going about doing this?, I know this may sound silly, have you clicked load? and then the map and then next and then start etc?

Yes. I clicked load. But no new map names appear.

Hmm it pops up for me, and it's in My Documents/My Games/Elemental/Maps

Are you sure you have the "Use Mods" checked? Not sure what could be up here..

Looks insane
But i only checked it in the map editor, almost no resources? Or do resources and other stuff spawn randomly automatically upon running a new game on any map? If so, cool

Vets can probably answer this question better then me, but I'm almost 90% positive you'll get stuff to randomly spawn as that's the way the seeds are usually set up.

Stuff spawns randomly. I wanted to be able to choose what resources go where; like you wont find much fertile land in Taros, but you will in Aramon etc. But unfortunately there appears no way to stop it

Heres another suggestion copy and place both Darien(etc).xml and the .png into C:\Program files(x86)\stardock games\elemental\data\maps

or whatever your install directory is. Hopefully that should work for you.
