Okay guys, I sent Gandalf an email the other day, but haven't heard anything back yet, but I'm gonna go ahead and put those "Alpine maps" up in the RMS section. I mean, I give Gandalf credit and everything, clearly stating that they're really his maps, I just went in and changed the terrain selection types. There's two of 'em, these are maps I've played so many times it makes my eyes spin!
1. Alpine Extreme!- Based on RF_Gandalf's "Extreme Random Land Map TAD", uses the Northwest Territories, Siberia, Green Siberia, Yukon, and Yukon Tundra terrain sets, so put on yer long johns, and get set for some cold northern extreme adventures.
2. Alpine Island!- Based on RF_Gandalf's "Big Continent" (which should work on all versions); uses the Northwest Territories, both Siberias, both Yukons, Great Lakes Winter, Saguenay, Rockies, Andes, Araucania Southern, and Himalayas terrain sets.
Has one huge island continent in the middle, surrounded by a ring of sea all around the edge, with fishes and whaleses.
If you're a modder, this is a good map for testing a custom civ that you might be working on, that is good on land and sea, all on one map. Works fine for me, even had one map pop up that kinda looked like night time, or extreme north or something lol. It was cool.
They should both work fine, being Gandalf maps. I just couldn't wait to hear from him, and I don't think he would have any problem with me putting them up, seeing as I give credit, and besides it's just a couple RM's lol. Besides, this way you guys get 'em faster.
I've just always loved Gandalf's maps, and play them all the time. Anyone who is maybe getting bored with the game, and doesn't HAVE any of Gandalf's maps, I would say...
"Are you crazy?!! Get over to the Downloads section and get 'em!" lol
I just uploaded 'em, so they should be up in the next couple days. I'm thinking about doing an Alpine Silk Road too.
EDIT: Added Alpine Snow Road!
EDIT2: Added a new map that's so HUGE it's STUPIT!! NethernyC's STUPIT Extreme!
"Just like "NethernyC's Alpine Extreme!", but with this one, I went into the script, and tried to make it as large as possible. For example, Gandalf's Extreme gives about 49000 game units worth of space for each player, but this map goes all the way up to 79380! I just took it up more and more until it was too big, and wouldn't load, then backed it off 10% from there, so this map is about as big as you can possibly make it.
Based on RF_Gandalf's Extreme Random Land Map TAD; I highly recommend RF_Gandalf's maps!"
