The wrap around feature might have been part of it. But I think it would be a good map on its own. People like looking at maps with lots of detail when they are shopping for maps but in actual play I find it gets in the way of things.
Actually, the map image he used is a GIMP image from this set.

Note for others: GIMP is a free paint program and these were generated with various scripts that come with it while playing with the color-pattern sets.
Excellent work whiplashomega.
And kudos on the image with all the flags showing. Did you use the watcher.dm mod to get that?
But Im afraid that your implementation of added nations is not achieving what you want. If this map is played with no mods turned on then those amount to being very crippled AIs which would be easily taken by whoever is next to them. That can be an interesting game also but not very fair.
It is possible to "fix" those and still only use map commands but Im afraid its not compatible with later playing it with mods.
Im afraid that the "scenario" capability in Dom3 is still broken. Not even as capable as it was in Dom2. But great work on the map.
