I was testing with making maps for the raf demo. I was able to recreate the map in the larger sizes and reconfigured the demo corridor of blood skirmish map to the exact size as the Sands of War map. Using the file import/export elevation file feature, I took the outpost player 3 made him a regular player and added 6 more players. Making the 9th slot the outpost player. I then put 8 town centers for players 1-8 and 4 cits per player. Added gold and trees, and the same outposts from corridor.
The demo map has a limited data file. This means that corridor of blood terrain must be used and only the objects used in that map. No other civs other than Egypt. It also means grasslands day environment is the only environment that can be used. This limits sounds, music and graphic effects too.
I made the test demo and tried it out...it worked...for about 10 minutes. It turns out as soon as the 1st building is destroyed, the game crashes! Ahh soooo close!!!

Oh well. Another test of a 4 player, 400x400 map worked perfectly.
