Effects of "delete map.rwm"

**Blau&Gruen** · October 19, 2007, 05:59 AM

1. Is it correct to say, that it does have no unwelcome effects on a game that has already started, if you delete the map.rwm (of course before reloading?
2. Is it necessary to delete all map.rwm in all folders (EB data, RTW data, BI data) to have no cdts and campaign slowdown or is it sufficent to delete the map.rwm in EB data?
3. If 1. is false, is a game whose map.rwm has only be deleted after it run for a a couple of turns and that has been restarted, "broken" in any respect?

I am not EB support but from my experiences of other RTW based games;

1) It's possible to delete the map.rwm file prior to running the game. When there is no such file the system will recreate the file using other files in the data folder. You will find that the campaign will take longer to launch as the re-building is going on. I have seen in the past that for some reason the campaign map has become corrupted (settlement names for different settlements) but this was rectified by deleting the map.rwm file.

2) You should only need to delete the map.rwm that is being used by your current game. Deleting the other ones should have no ill effect, though.
