I have a question about the CIV III conquest editor.

I noticed that on the terrain selection window there are selections for certain terrain features that start with LM.  These terrain features seem to be hill, mountains, forest, ect...  When I place them on the map the terrain feature has a diamond with a line symbol on the feature itself.  Can someone tell me what this feature is/does?

Another question.  When I first created my map I put the barbarians on raging mode.  Well this did not work out so well since I had mass waves of barbs running amok.  So I went back into the editor and reset the barbs to sedintary, but when I restarted the map those blasted hordes of barbs are still showing up.  Is there any way to edit the map to stop them showing up.

Thanks for all your help.  I am loving Civ III and I really enjoy all the nice info and tips that I have been getting form the community.

TIA,

Dave

As for the landmark terrain, they exist so that you can give them special values.  A landmark grassland might give three food, for example, and landmark ocean might be flagged as impassable, even though the basic grassland and ocean still work normally.

I can't answer your barb question with certainty, but there are several things I can suggest.  Barbs have huge uprisings everytime a civ advances to the next age.  Are you giving civs extra techs that might make them advance quickly?  Second, did you select raging barbs before generating your map?  The barb camps might have been placed directly on the map itself, and so resetting the barb activity level might not do anything.  Third, try checking "no barbarians" and see what happens.

If any of those suggestions work, please tell me, because I'm rather perplexed as to what the problem is myself.  On that thought, tell me if they don't work, too, so I can try to think of more.
