    Default Does anyone actually use the map that came with the game?

    Some of you may have lost it, or forgotten about it. But when we all purchased RTW inside was a map. So does anyone actually use it?

    I for one do, I find its pretty cool to plan your strategys out on the map. I sometimes even mark it or draw on it to detail my strategys. I can usually erase anything I draw on it off pretty easily since I have an eraseable marker.

    I recently made a pretty good strategy on it for the Gauls.

    Well I dont use it for planning or anything, but when I first got the game I did use it to familiarize myself with territories and sometimes it is just real cool to look at.

    Back when I first got the game, and wasn't playing RTR etc. I actually photocopied the map to detail an entire campaign on the photocopy =P

    It comes pretty handy when you play RTW for the first time. It saves you a lot time of sending your armies or spies around in the vast desert and tundra areas to look for the towns.

    I have my map hanging on my wall now.
    I used it to find cities, and to plan my expansion in consideration with the terrain.
    Today I can't use it because I have mods, but its still useful for my mini map mod I've been working on. Its easier to look at a monitor and a map rather than switching back und forth to different windows on my desktop. That way I don't lose my place.

    i used till i discovered toggle_fow. then i didn't need it anymore. (my mom threw it away thinkin it was some useless trash ne ways so i can't anymore). i did make war plans on it in pencil for a while and that was always fun cause it made it feel like i was an actual war leader planning my invasions.

    Used it a few times to find a city when I first started RTW.

    Used it several times since (it lives in its box) to ensure the correct spelling of town names when posting into battle accounts/forums.

    it was usefull to find out where the towns were especially in the east because I didn't know where they were and searching could take very very long

    and now?.... can't remember where I have left it.... :hmmm:

    When I first got the game, and looked at that map, I thought "Jesus, what a ****ing big map! Whole Europe?! Now I think it's tiny... But the map is a big plus. It's really nice to look at, and I liked/like it.
