@Timothius: Ended up removing the landbridge to Britain in order of making it easier to gain for the vikings relative to the franks.

@Genieß

Thanks ;)

@Keweiler @Fartface64 @Everybody

Update plz?

The map doesn't work for the new Age of Empires version.

The best fan-made map on workshop!

For those who are interested, I have made a v2.4 with some small changes, but I have a problem publishing it under this same thread. Don´t want to spam the workshop with my small changes.

Fair enough Genie, some good reasoning there for a more balanced game. Do you think you'll ever consider making a map of more North-Western Europe, perhaps something along the lines of the Viking raids? It could have England (Britons), Scotland (Celts), Ireland (Celts), Normans (Franks) and the Danish / Norwegians (Vikings). Would make what's essentially a nice island map to give people time to build before rush. Just an idea of course, no pressure! :)

@Genieß
Perhaps fiddle with the map codes? Perhaps make everyone else AI instead of AI/Player?

@Germy Fever
Interesting idea. Do you have any idea about how I can make it more fit for singleplayer?

@Timothius
The reason that I havent included Britain is that its not enough space. Both on the island and considering distance to other civilizations. I could remove the landbridge, making the practical distance to the others bigger, but it would make the map even more of a water map, and I dont want that.
Removing a goth civilization would also make a huge gap in one or the other ends. But for diversity, my idea was that with Forgotten the slaves can replace the goths in Russia.

Thanks for all response. Love it. Hope to do more maps soon, but not much time for it. Working on a huge project, but very slowly.

Love the map, but just have a suggestion. Wouldn't it be better to include Britain and replace one of the Goth armies? Would make a more diverse game Civillisation-Wise and it's kinda obvious Britain has played a major role in European affairs over the last thousand or so years.

Ever thought of making a singleplayer version of this? 'Cause this map is awesome.

ok i did that

@bergs.bubble
I am thankfull of the credits. Would also like the name of my scenario in the game, like mentioned in the workshop, if you don't mind.

@GenieB My new map is done, if you want you can see if I have given the proper credits to you.

Thank you for letting me use the map!

@bergs.bubble
Send me a pm and we'll talk it over

@Phoenix_II
Your welcome :)

thanks

Hello, Iwould like to start off by saying that I think this map was well made with great attention to detail. I was wonder though if I could build a map off of this (the map I currently have is not too accurate) and put it on the steam network, giving you your rightful praise for creating the terrain of corse. If not ill respect your wishes and only use it for personal use. Thank you for your consideration!

Yes and yes, that's correct

I'm getting the error 9 now... But you did exactly what I did, right? I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. And you are keeping the same map file name for all versions, right?

@lewisbarton
Thanx

@HandsomeJam
Nope, but I wish I could add more players.

@infinity
I've managed to update it, but my last update didn't work. It gave me an "error 9". So if anyone have solution to that, it would be great.
Back to your case I don't know.

Hey man! I'm a map developer. It work for you updating your map here? When I tried, at the map editor, it asks me to overwrite, I say "yes", and the update was successful, but the map file is NOT updating! :(
I always receive the old map, even deleting the map file and the mod, in my AOE folder... Please, help!

You can't be Britain?

Brilliant map, had a lot of playing it. Highly reccomend

@DioBrando
Will take a look at Finland.

@Pliskin
Good to hear.

Played this in multiplayer with a friend, against 4 AI. Didn't find any issues with it, really fun map!

Finland looks a bit wrong :(

@Alkhalim
Ok. I'm not sure what causes this bug, but I'll keep testing and will report back if I solve the problem.

NOTICE
The previous outdated version of this map will soon be deleted, due to this newer version. Every update will from now on happen on this workshop. Thanks for all your support!

I played this in singeplayer and it worked just fine, but in Multiplayer it did not...


I only played this in mp once btw

@Finnian Tiercel
I've tested the map in different player combinations and can't seem to have this problem myself. Do you host the game yourself? And do you use Forgotten Empires?
A new update will be uploaded soon. Hopefully it will be fixed by then.

@Alkhalim
Thanks for your response. Is it a consistent problem, or did it happen just once? This might be a problem with AoE itself, but I'll look into it.

BUG: I played this in multiplayer and player 2 had maximum population of 0.

@Finnian Tiercel, do you have any more details on the problem? Does this happen every time?

My experience was as follows:
I played an online game with a friend with no problem. I was player 3 (green) and he was player 2 (red). Following that game we did another in which we had the same spawn locations. We retried and got the same result. Making the association between the player colour and the spawn location I tried using player 8 (orange). My spawn location was indeed relocated but for unknown reason I started with 0 in all resources. Following this I tried 7 and 6 with the same result. I have not encountered this before and do not believe I could have caused this by changing any settings.

Additionally I am frustrated by the fact that I cannot seem to adjust the CPU player count when playing against the AI in single player nor can I change my colour (it remains blue and I get a spawn in North France consistently).

Idk i was just suggesting lol. I assumed you knew that

@Axzen
How do I do that? Every thime I fix it up it drops down.

Would be better if you could raise the pop cap to 300-400

cool :)

awesome map

Okay, thanks :)

@Fynnius66
If you press Ctrl+F12 you should get a map like this in some folder. I have not been able to find it though when I do it in HD, so I do it in standard age (not HD)
@NCIS
Could you link me a picture of that map?

This map looks awfully alot like the map of Age of Empires demo..
Anyone tried to make the demo map? Hope it will be made..

Hi GenieB, I was wondering, how did you manage to get a screenshot of the whole map like you have? Thanks

Thanx for the comments
@Zevlag, thanx for the recognition!
@Maple Vanilla, my purpose of connecting almost all the landmasses was to make it more of a land map, even though it's much water on it. That's also the purpose of the deeper water around the coast of for example Iceland, making it impossible to build docks there.
@Finnian Tiercel, do you have any more details on the problem? Does this happen every time?

I'm having a problem where I have spawned as player 6,7, and 8 with no starting resources. Please help, I really like this map.

can you remove the land bridges?
they take away almost all need for ships.

Congratulations, this is the most accurate map of Europe I've found on the workshop. It has even minor details such as the snowy mounts of southern Spain (Sierra Nevada), most people believe there's no snow there.

Genius ;)

Thanx for the good feedback!
@Callymore: The elevations will be simplified in central areas for the 2.3 update.
@Tobs: Thats right, and thats the reason why I have released more than one of the same scenario. But won't happen any more.

@Soderberg
Unfortunately, the in-game map name adjusts to the already existing one, when updating an already existing workshop file. This happens even though the new file file name is different.

Seems like the only way to change this, is to make a new workshop entry.

On the other hand, you should be able to see which version your map is under the "Objectives"-menu when in-game.
