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):

A thumbnail of the map is attached to this post.
Please let me know if you find any errors.
Thanks.
