Map: World of Symmetry

[Twan]

As I know there is some demand for a MP map with as balanced start positions as possible (like World of Geometry) but not too big (unlike it), I've made a smaller version with 265 provinces (still 12 start locations, so about 22 provinces per player).

To resume World of Symetry is essentially WoG without the caves/deep seas part and (for the moment) without special sites and garrisons (there are also some little changes : 2 more seas provinces in the central area and more ports to the isle ; and new gateways in the border mountains).

The map is no longer wraparound but the 6 gateways allow to reach the other side of the map or the central isle (all gateways are linked with the central isle + one other gateway).

I will perhaps make a version with garrisons later (big monster garrisons of WoG cut pasted to the border mountains provinces, and the choke points anti-rush armies) but for the moment it's a pure vanilla map, without special sites or encounters (there are just some many sites provinces with the usual dolmen icon, large provinces with the town one, and one very large city, the Isle of Eternia with 50000 pop).



Version 0.2.

For future reference, you can edit any of the other pages.. dont actually edit, but look at the code.

I'll add the picture. Thanks!

Looks nice. I'm a fan of larger version though (just my preference) but I can see why smaller map is better for MP games.

Twan:

Are you already working on a new map? I would love to see a nice big mag for teams For even 20 people at once.

I have fixed the following additional issues:

-- deleted 46-68
-- deleted 192-212
-- added 43-63
-- added 199-210
-- 19: mountains
-- 188: swamp
-- changed text color to black

The tga file is the same.

i think 155 and 172 supposed to be connected. fixed.

also, fixed mispellings (symmetry not symetry) and out-dated name references (v0.3 still referencing a tga file called symetry2 from when map was v0.2. unless the tga file has ever been changed, it shouldn't even have version update. map file now simply references 'worldofsymmetry' to make this more obvious.
