Anyone has a map with hex coordinates that can share?
The propose is to fit a Mediterranean map that i will build.

the only coordinates I have seen are with a mouse-over a base hex. Other than that, I haven't seen anything....GP

@ General Patton - there is a an hotkey that shows all coordinates in hexes. Can't remember which.
@ Dali. My map will be 20nm scale hex. I want to overlay may map with current map and and find the best way to fit it, respecting cold zones etc. Since i have already a list of all locations named in editor, i need to give coordinates to them and it is much easier with a map with coordinates behind.
Btw are you Dali from War in West mod?

There is no hotkey to show coordinates. You are probably confusing the hotkey which shows country codes.

That is the country code in hex, says hotkey memo.

You can also get the terrain type by pressing the number 1.

Yes, it's me, after some time I came here again ...
Generally, for a dimension map:
The two co-ordinates you choose the script editor and immediately when you start the game once you see the location on the map.
Personally, I would put Africa to middle ...

Kind of. That is true for ON MAP hexes only. Off map the byte has other functions
and the numbers should NOT be country codes. These must be edited in version 0.7
of the pwhexe.dat editor - which I do not yet have - but figured out just now.
Older editors do not let you edit the correct byte fully (although you can put
the nation code into it).
