Hey guys, this may be a stupid question but: How do I get a normal map (Tundra, Mediterannean, Savannah, Marsh, etc.) onto the editor? For instance, when looking at the list of games, I see "Marsh Giraffe." I want to take a regular map and tweak it or whatever, if it is possible.
Anyone know how?
Thanks

This is the wrong thread but....
You simply click generate a new map, and instead of a blank one you select tundra or marsh, etc from the drop down menu.

You can open it in the editor as IronClaw said, and then when you save it, it will be a .scx (Scenario) file instead of random map.
Another way to change random maps is to go into the "rm" or "rm2" folder in the Age of Mythology directory and open the random map scripts, such as march.xs. You can open them in notepad, and then you can try to edit the code and save as a new map, or you can panic at the sight of the code (recommended) and edit it either as a scenario or give up.
