Map Modification for Gates of Troy

I have just found a map editor on-line for Spartan. I need to study how to use it. I suspect my map mod will work for Gates of Troy, but i'm not sure. As this is an excellent game, i just bought it, and have started playing. But i really want to do a new map, based on the mediterranean sea area, and the Phoenicians, using the Greek ethnic tribes as a base.
I wonder if there'd be any interest in this. I'll start learning how to do it anyway, as it interests me.
At the moment i cant get the map editor to open anything up, so this project might be cancelled before it starts.

The game is very old now and the tools were not ever developed for end users, only internal use so there could be all sorts of issues getting it running on XP or Vista as these did not exist when we did Spartan in 2002-2003.

Ah, that's probably it, i forgot about the Vista thing. I've given up on the map editor i found. 'Was interesting though to see how the map was built up out of little pre-drawn sqares, fitted together, must have taken a long time to make. But i couldn't see much in the editor.
