Seeking good MP maps.

[IndyPendant]

Hi all.

The modified Lonely Mermaid map is just about my favourite for MP games, for a number of reasons:

1) Map size: 100 - 150 total provinces.

2) Mildly limited routes: Lots of choke points, using mountain and/or river barriers, etc. (Doesn't have to be a single-path maze, but neither can it be a wide-open map. The Mermaid map is at just about the perfect balance for what I'm looking for.)

3) Water provinces: either 0 provinces, or roughly 10% of the map in one concentrated area, with *maybe* 1 or 2 additional water provinces off by themselves.

4) Wraparound, to even the playing field as much as possible.

Does anyone know of any other maps out there that fit these criteria? Please let me know if so! (The Map List sticky doesn't show anything suitable for me, unfortunately.)

Thanks,

IndyPendant.

*sigh*

Ah well, I hadn't thought so. I hadn't found anything suitable in my own searching, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

I must admit that I had hoped for more than 25 people to even be *looking* at this post, though!

I would have recommended some of mine except for the "mp" part. Wraparound is considered a plus in MP but chokepoints tend to be considered adding to random unfairness. Plus very few of my maps are that small.

Here are some wraps

I like chokepoints. I could run you a batch of Dom3 maps. I use selected colors and settings. They tend to look like this.

Well, that's a huge freaking map. It looks nice, but I prefer some deserts and swamps mixed in. This one looks like all forests and border mountains.

[Gandalf Parker]

No they are in there. I just like green. Only the dark green ones are forest.
The deserts are kindof tan colored like the upper left province. And the swamps are bluish-green.

But the colors can be adjusted for anyones tastes. The map generator in Dom3 does allow it altho you have to run it by command switches to get it.

Fallacy has a map linked near the last post in the game thread by Hadrian. While not a wrap, that is a good mp map as it is divided into 2 continents.

Kingmaker is a wrap, but the map file is not being released until we hit turn 40 in the game. That will be 2-3 more weeks.
Huge map(900)though anyway. Really only good for mega age games.
