Epotara / Late Era Scenario Posted
1 Attachment(s)
Hello:
This is a wrap-around map containing 292 land provinces and 16 sea provinces. Rivers are impassible except by bridge. All provinces along rivers and by the two lakes have potential fresh water sites, except provinces that contain waste. Provinces with towns are large provinces. There are no provinces with special sites. Feel free to let me know if you find any errors or otherwise have comments, etc. Thanks.

Here is a small jpeg of the map. (It looks best in wrap-around vision. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif )

Re: New Map ===> Epotara
I really like how the different terrain types are very clear. It's a bit too big for my tastes though.
Any chance you could cut it in half (across the middle, just below the coast) and give us two more 150ish prov sized maps? |
Re: New Map ===> Epotara
Hi Sombre:
That's a good idea to slice up the map... but I need a breather first. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Yes, I think it is helpful when terrain is clearly marked if possible. Pasha |
Re: New Map ===> Epotara
I agree with sombre, too big. But still a good map!

Big Map for Big Boys!
Hmm. I think it's a good size for a game with 15 players, especially with a victory condition like controlling 4 or 5 other player capitals. That usually prevents the game from going much past turn 70 or 80.
However, perhaps, I will make another version with the same map, but redo all of the province boundaries to drastically reduce the number of provinces. (That's the good thing about layers in GIMP. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif ) Maybe get it down to 150 -200 provinces. Pasha |
Re: Big Map for Big Boys!
I have already started tweaking the province boundaries for a smaller version. It should be pretty easy to get the number of provinces down to about 175. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Big Map for Big Boys!
It's nice you've made a big version first, as the AI often needs some space to start being efficent. On small maps it is too easy to make a quick rush to the nearest AI capitol.
I'll play this one with pleasure, big maps are so rare ! |
Re: Big Map for Big Boys!
looks nice. I really like the simple style and obvious terrain types of your maps PashaDawg.
Can I ask how long it takes to make just the graphical part of this map? (not the province connections, etc.) |
Re: Big Map for Big Boys!
I for one like big maps! However, this map I consider normal size. Big maps are 500+ provinces.
This is a similar size to many all era MP games I have played in, 20'ish nations. It will give 15 provinces per player. Thanks for this Pasha, downloading now. |
