Returning to EU2...What's w/ the Maps?

[beezneez]

i see all these new maps for EU2 now, but i have never used one or understand how or what they work w/. can i use them eep-agc? i think i remember they were making a map for eep-agc last i checked. what map is most popular? do they just remove they terra incognita? skimming over some of threads hasnt cleared anything up for me, so i dont mean to be lazy.

There are more provinces in more places (and also more in the same places), though there is still some terra incognita. the most popular ones are WATK3 (world according to kasperus 3) and MyMap, though yes, AGCEEP is going to come out with a map of its own...eventually...hopefully before EUIII is out, next year.

New map is unable to use in scenarios that weren't modified for the map. MyMAP and WATK are distributed already with scenarios converted for them. AGC-EEP is somewhere available for one of these new maps (I think that MyMAP already contains AGC-EEP).
If you have Win XP you can use Mod Launcher to run new maps. It's easier and safer than trying launch map manually. On Win98 Mod Launcher isn't working good and it is recomended even not to try it on Win98 until new version is released. On XP aren't any problems with this utility. Here are procedures how place new maps into Eu2 to enable Mod Launcher launch them.
