To begin: Merry Christmas 8D
I don't know why I couldn't find any of this information, the best I could find is really just quite crappy. I also realize it's quite late, but really, I would have wanted a nice topic on this yesterday.
Importing a Map:
Importing maps allows you to easily create a map from an image.
Go into your Scenario Editor, and check under the map tab.
There should be settings for making a new map. Including an import map function.
Make surebefore importing, that you setup the map size to the size you want, results are usually better with larger map sizes too.
The File:

Larger than Big Huge Maps:
This requires some modifications on your part.
Have fun 8D

Make sure
- It has to to be in the .tga format
- It should be square (parts will be cut off/cropped otherwise)
- It has to use black for the land and white for the water
- Size isn't very important, just make sure it's not too big (big as in 2500x2500)
- It should be square (parts will be cut off/cropped otherwise)

This requires some modifications on your part.
- Simply go into the folder you have RoN T&P installed, mine is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations\Thrones and Patriots- Find the data folder, and inside it find the rules.xml.
- Open it with whatever you choose, notepad is good enough for our needs.
- Ctrl-F, and look for "Standard (4-player)". Choose any of the map sizes in this area to replace (except Tiny), I chose standard.
- In the <
DATA> 70< /DATA> , just below it, change the 70 to 140.
Why 140? Because Big Huge is 100, and is 400x400 in size, the max size before RoN goes buggy is 560x560, 560 is 140% of 400, and 140 is 140% of 100.- At this time, you could also rename the size to something more appropriate.
