A belated announcement:

A printable version of the unit guide is now available in MS Word format. If you do not have Word then you can download this free Word reader to view the document. The guide is 105 pages long and has all the pictures etc present in this web guide, although some picture quality has been lost in the transition. Please note that the guide is correct and up to date as of 12th January 2004 and will not be updated at any point. The on-line guide will remain the most current version.

MTW VI MP mappacks - Thursday, January 22, 2004
Download.

This pack contains 184 custom maps made by many authors.
The maps are not changed, but extra prefixes are added to the name to make it easier to select a map for MultiPlayer games.

() means that a map is custom, this groups all custom maps together in the list.
_f stands for 'flat' maps.
_h stands for hilly maps.
_c stands for castle maps.
_r stands for rivermaps.
_m stands for miscellaneous maps. These maps have special features or don't fit easily in the other 4 categories (but that's arbitrary).

The miscellanous category surely contains maps that are less suited for regular league games, but this category contains many maps. It may very well be that your new favourite map can be found here. Give it a look if you have time.

_S, M and L tells the size of a map. So (hM)_7b7p_bearlands05 is a hilly Medium sized map. 7b7p_ is the personal tag of the author.

I hope that this system will make it easier to select the right map for your games.

There's also a pack with the default maps to help you install a clean mapfolder if needed.

Both this mappack and a pack containing the original maps
can be found here. The defaultpack can be of help if you need to clean the mapfolder, remember that MTW only supports some 1,000 maps at a time. To clean: just delete everything inside MTW/Battle/Maps (or better back it up) and install both packs. It will find the right path by itself or you'll have to browse to your MTW game directory. This one and the default pack will give a total of 663 maps. Volume 2 will be published soon and will contain another ~125 maps.

None of these maps are made by me, except for a couple of the 'spaceholder' maps. The previous packs contain about the same maps, but without the categorizing pre-fixes. While the content is identical, these maps are not compatible.
