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.

there was a map???? i never saw it
but maybe i did forget about it i dunn :hmmm: o.... just dont remember it at all

[Tecumseh]

I used it when I first got the game to find where the cities were.

[imthefrgt10]

its hangin on my wall less than a foot away from my computer, i rarely use it seeing as how i dont play vanilla much

[carl-the-conqueror]

its a nice poster to go on my wall, it is handy when playing vannila and your looking for domis dulcus domis, or whatever its called.

[Turkeys!]

map?i never got a map

[Razmul]

i used it as a poster on the wall but not for strategic purpose, i just thought it looked cool

[Soccer1993]

that's not fair!! i never got one!
well i brought it herre in israel so maybe that's why...grr...

[13ig_VV]

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.

Still in the box

[Severous]

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.

[El_Greco]

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:

[philip augustus]

I still have it but only because i like to look at now and then plus its weird looking at the tech tree after playing mods for such a long time.

[Kaweh]

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.
