This map has a California rms style...
It is a very large water map...980x980...
The Map has 1 very large Pacific Ocean at the bottom of the map...

PS: I managed to get the AoE3 Debugger working
and there are no bugs...
PS: Many thanks to RF_Gandalf for his precious help...
PS: Also to Jugit for helping me to keep my maps away from Bugs...
PS: This map was conceived just for 2 players or 4 players...
PS: PUT THE MAP IN My Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3\RM3.
PS: Many Thanks to Ensemble for creating this nice game...
Your maps my not be as detailed as RF_Gandalf's but they are very good and you pump them out so quickly that I hardly ever have to play the same map twice! And when I do I'm halfway through the battle before I remember. Thanks for the time you put in!!!! Gotta run I got kick some butt on the California Trail!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Where to put RMS
Depends on where you put it...If you have vanilla, it's goes in my documents/my games/rm. If it's TWC, it's goes in RM2, and if it's TAD, it's goes in RM3. You can also put Vanilla RMS into RM2 and RM3 and play them and TWC RMS into TAD but you can only play TAD RMS in TAD.
Random Maps
If it's a vanilla map (the original game), it's goes in my documents/my games/rm. If it's TWC (the war chiefs), it's goes in RM2, and if it's TAD (the asian dynasty), it's goes in RM3. You can also put Vanilla RMS into RM2 and RM3 and play them and TWC RMS into TAD but you can only play TAD RMS in TAD. You can not play later expansion version developed games in earlier expansion versions, mainly because of the "upgraded" units/features won't be recognized by earlier expansion versions.
To play the game go to single player/Skirmish/play and when your home page opens look for the little square in front of "custom maps" and click on it. Any custom maps you have downloaded will show up on the drop-down file.
Hope this helps...

Do you have the vanilla game?
dhplante states "A random map script for AOE3 WITH the Asian Dynasties expansion"
How he may have had "TWC" (and not indicated), which will impact some of the things that would be in his map(s). If so you may not be able to play... If you don't have all three, and updated, some stuff just isn't going to work...cause you don't know at what point he build the map...sorry.
Re-read my post and try to understand it. If you don't have vanilla/TWC games it most likely won't work.
