Welcome to Map Creation Tutorial for Earth 2150.

The things you will need:

  • graphic editor (Paint or Gimp etc.)
  • BMP Templates
  • Earth 2150 installed

Choosing map size

At the beginning I suggest you to pick one of BMP templates depending on how big map you want to create. You have the choice between Huge, large, medium and small. For example for 4 players map I will take Large template.

Editing map template

I'm familiar with Gimp editor so I decide to open downloaded BMP template file in this application. First of all I set image mode to 8-bit Grayscale. Open Image tab and correct Mode and Precision like it was shown on the screenshots below.
