Map: Asia Twist (Wraparound) - UPDATED 11/22/08

[PashaDawg]

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): http://www.mediafire.com/file/12jekd3hzgz/AsiaTwist.zip

A thumbnail of the map is attached to this post.

Please let me know if you find any errors.

Thanks.

Well, it certainly looks pretty! Will try it out.

That's a very nice-looking map. I'm thoroughly grateful for the effort you've put into it.

[PashaDawg]

Thank you. It was fun to make, and I'm looking forward to starting a game on it soon.

Now I regret being signed up to so many games at the mo

Just to be picky for a moment, the links http://www.mediafire.com/?xglgdylzzyy and http://www.mediafire.com/?mocylhkwtyg might be better ones to put in the top post. It took me a little while to work out how to download the map from your link.

Thanks, Gregstrom. Done!

Hi:

I have noticed that the .map file has been downloaded more times than the .rgb file. Both files are necessary to play with the map.

The .rgb file is the graphic image of the map. The .map file is a text file that informs the game of the location of provinces, names of provinces, neighbor connections, etc.

(Maybe some folks just wanted extra copies of the .map file, or maybe spider bots are downloading only the first file. )

Hello:

I updated the map today to add sea ports and to fix a few things. The link is available in the first post of the thread. I suppose this should be called version 1.2.

Thanks.

Great news ! Thanks for the work, Pasha.

I don't find your map on the llamaserver list but I'd like to launch a new llamahosted MP with your last version. Am I missing something ?

Looks awesome!
