Map Asia Twist (Wraparound) - UPDATED 11/22/08

PashaDawg · #1 November 2nd, 2008, 02:36 PM

Hello!

This is a wraparound map that twists around the geographies of Asia and Scandinavia. Some things are moved around. Some are missing. There are 304 provinces (267 land and 37 sea).

There are 19 optional preset starting positions (16 land, 3 water) that are randomly assigned. Each is marked with a colorful orb. Most starting positions are 3 provinces away from at least one other. Provinces with rivers or by lakes have fresh water. Small provinces are marked with a tan triangle. Large provinces are marked with a purple triangle. Ports are marked with a red star, with sea lanes marked with chains of blue stars. There are no preset sites except for a few mines placed to help balance the various starting positions.

*** This is an updated version of the map that replaces the previous version as of Nov. 22, 2008. It is Version 1.2. ***

The map was too big to post on the forum. So, you can download it here (download BOTH the .map and .rgb files): http://www.mediafire.com/file/12jekd3hzgz/AsiaTwist.zip

A thumbnail of the map is attached to this post.

Please let me know if you find any errors.

Thanks.

Pasha

Well, it certainly looks pretty! Will try it out.

That's a very nice-looking map. I'm thoroughly grateful for the effort you've put into it.

Thank you. It was fun to make, and I'm looking forward to starting a game on it soon.

Now I regret being signed up to so many games at the mo

Just to be picky for a moment, the links http://www.mediafire.com/?xglgdylzzyy and http://www.mediafire.com/?mocylhkwtyg might be better ones to put in the top post. It took me a little while to work out how to download the map from your link.

Hmm this looks like a great map, I'll try it a bit.. might replace Bering as my favorite map since it's a bit bigger.. must say I can't recognize scandinavia much but that don't bother me

Scandinavia is north of Japan in the map. It's easier to see in wraparound-vision.

I don't like your mountains Pasha. Sorry, but they are just too brown and white for me. The combo hurts my eyes. I think more grayscale for the mountains would be much easier on the eyes.

Other than that, it's a very nice looking map.

Hi Lingchih:

Geez! They hurt your eyes? I am satisfied with the way they look, but in matters of taste there is no dispute.
