When I start EDCE, it shows a message "02-10-20--Have you looked over the online Map/Scn collection lately?"  No, I haven't, but would love to!  Unfortunately, there is no link and I don't see anything here, on Steam, or on Killerbees.com.  I looked at the Reddit page, but that seemed out of date.  Anybody have a link to the online Map/Scn collection?  Thanks!

Developer

These maps are available through the game.   Go to the Map section (Maps/Scenarios), and in the bottomm left corner there is a button to UL/DL Maps and Scenarios.  Users have maps maps and uploaded them - they will get downloaded and put in the right place.

and don't forget to give back ;>

Thanks!   I have a ton of maps and scenarios going back to Empire Deluxe.  I'll poke thru them and see if any look interesting.  I assume they will need some kind of conversion?

Developer

Yes, there is a conversion program to move them from EDIE or EDEE to EDCE.   EDCE maps are not in a text/psuedo XML format   The converter and other info is in the maps directory here:

Also, the actually place those maps are being stashed is somewhere in that directory structure. (submissions i believe)

I was looking at the Japan-Korea-China map - very impressive.  I was wondering if anyone could expand that down to Malaysia and over to Guam.  I would think that 400 down would cover that region.  I have no artistic skill and am amazed at the global maps and the one mentioned above
