You don't need so much time to make a map...
Starting from nothing (never touched the map editor), I made in 6 hours the landscape, the roads, the trains, an airport, a farm area, a small village and a buisness area on a medium size map, knowing that I spend most of my time trying to deal with landscape problem as I putted quite huge hills.
But no details are placed right now. and I still need to create the main city.

In the map editor you can choose the year. And in the original map editor there's not the timeline support, so the city doesn't grow. So if you build the city in 1925, of course it should look like an older city than in 2011, for example.
We want all the gamers to have equal chance in this competition, so no additional stuff is allowed. I hope you understand the situation, since not all the gamers are able to do texture variations or use mods.
Hi I'm almost done making a map and I've found the map files in my directory but im unsure of which one to inlude. There are the scenerio files, Grid files ect. Is there a certain one you want or should I zip them up and send them all?

Would have been nice if all these rules were outlined from the beginning! My map comes with a full timeline which now i have to remove... not to mention texture variations... Time wasted

I'm very sorry that I didn't realize this sooner and point out that you should only use the tools available in the game, no mods etc. I hope this doesn't prevent you from making a map for the competition!
So a couple of days to submit your map. Are there anyone still working on one for Friday?
Ooh, a fine competition this! Have spent the best part of this month trying to get a map done. Should have picked 768x768 instead of 1024x1024! Looks like I won't be finished in time, though. Huge amount of time, and living IRL impossible when creating a proper map! :wacko:
I just need ask it to be spelled out for me. Is the deadline tomorrow, eg. BEFORE it is Friday = Thursday 2359 hours, or is it the day AFTER tomorrow, eg. before Saturday = Friday 2359 hours? =)
Also, what is the file size limit for posting more or less finished maps in ZIP format onto the forum?
