Help with making Map from scratch!

[BurchyGuy]

Bit of a hopeless question I know, but worth asking

I'm trying to make a map of Britain for use in a mod set in the Dark Ages of, obviously, Britain. The rest of the mod is easy enough to make but making a map is something I've never tried successfully in a Paradox game. Would anyone be as kind to write a quick guide on the basics of creating a new map from scratch and any things I should know?

Cheers

I'm not incredibly experienced in modding yet, I'd call myself a novice modder. But I will tell you what I know about that. I've partitioned states in Victoria II and in EU: Rome. To partition them, you must match them up to the countries that own them, and then divy them out. Here's a guide on how to create your own country in Vicky II. It should help quite a bit with some of what you're wanting to do. I know that actually making the states different requires paint.net and a lot of typing Anyway, here's the link. Sorry I couldn't be more help! http://www.victoria2wiki.com/Creating_a_country and Modding in general. Since modding is similar for most newer paradox games, it should be the same here: http://www.victoria2wiki.com/Modding

Thanks, I think I'm okay with modding in new countries and whatnot, it's just making the actual map itself from scratch I'm having trouble with

I would suggest you read the manual or email Paradox. From my understanding, Wiz or one of the major moderators and project designers gave out the tools to the older major games to create stuff with. You could go to that forum and check it out. You might find what you need there.

Where can we find these tools? A link perhaps.

Hold on, let me look. He linked it on the forums. Sorry, my internet has been fouling up.

I can't seem to find it, but Arsenal of Democracy was made with the tools.
