Default New Map: Neopangea. Version Wrap-around online.

What earth will look like in 200 million years...

I can poorly explain (thanks to my english) the background of this new map.
Let's say it's a big 360 provinces map (80 seas), based on the continental drift (plus consequences of humanity's activity).

A second version, wrap-around, is also incoming.

It's downloadable here: Neopangea

Only 7Mo zipped.

Hope you'll enjoy it! I really tried to make it the more playable and nice looking that i could.

A new version of the .map file, with some corrections, is downloadable.

Hi! You asked for some feedback, so here is some: The graphical sample you show posted here is really gorgeous! Very Nice! However, I cannot imagine myself playing on a huge map like this, since I already need 2 hours for a turn on maps a quarter of that size...

So do you plan to release smaller sized fragments of your map?

You're right, of course, and the "small" version is incoming...
Maybe half the original size.

Thanks for the answer!

Couple of little things:
1. No Pacific wrap-around? (unless to add it would force the inter-polar wrap which wouldn't be good)
2. If some provinces have set names, they all should. If I had that kind of creativity I'd go into the editor and come up with names for those nondescript provinces myself...
<begin section added later>
Those provinces that do have set names actually have well picked ones, which makes the random-named ones all the more disappointing. For instance, in Europe there's Ibri (Iberia), Sude (Sweden), Fine (Finland), Polemagne (Greater Poland-- nice pick!) but the province for France/Germany in the test match I started came out Silbermark, one of the random name series. Oops.
<end added section>
Still looking...
