I broke up the URL. If you compress them, it should work.

I don't know why that is. It's not your machine, I get the same thing.
No problem, I have to go too. Hopefully we can continue tomorrow. Thanks again for all your good help!

I fill in rivers and water first. Notice that the Donau is wide but if you build the river using water hexes it will not read as a wide river map. I suppose the easiest way if you want a wide river (and inflatable rafts) is to deploy a stream in the middle of where the Donau will be use the Convert all streams to wide rivers and maybe set it to width 1 - and then add water hexes for the rest of the shape. I guess it would be possible to make shallow water so units can cross..., but is the river really shallow in reality?

I like to use two computers (or two screens), with the Venhola map on one and the game on the other.

Save early, save often.
search the game guide for gWideRiver and then see the table of map editing hot keys a little further down that section - ^ is the one you want

This should work now. I copied the map grid link instead of the page URL...

BTW - I want to thank everyone involved with keeping this game updated and improved over the years. I bought the original back in the mid-90's and have been playing ever since. In fact, I still have the original disc and packaging.
All you folks are amazing and I, for one, am extremely grateful. Thanks again for all you do for us.

Not to sound weird, but you really really need to read the game manual everything is explained in there and then you have to really experiment.

The best way to reveal contours of a freshly downloaded Venhola map is to load it into the Extended Map Editor and press the "Strip Map" button..that will reveal all the map contours in one easy step
