Map Post Diluvium

Edit: I added an alternate version that comes with no fixed start locations. Please download it below.

Hello everyone,

I have created a new map for the new game that is starting up, "Myth".

However, it can be played by anyone, so take a look and see if you enjoy it! I drew it in Photoshop over the course of 2 days.

I plan on making some more maps in the future, so I would like some feedback on the map. I have included a poll for this purpose. Please be honest!

So, without further delay, I give to you:

POST DILUVIUM

Created by Matthew Joseph Maelaro Brodie
　
Recommended for 6-7 players.

78 provinces, 9 of which are water.

6 land starts + 1 sea start.
　
After the sudden disappearence of the previous Pantokrator, the world was consumed by a massive flood. A great oracle forsaw the coming armageddon, and even though millions of lives were lost in the ensuing destruction, a handful of civilizations managed to survive by escaping in great ships. Now they have found their way to a mysterious continent that has risen from the depths, and they are prepared to stake their claim. With the absence of the original Pantokrator, a power vacuum has emerged, leading to the rise of new Pretenders, all of them fighting for what they believe to be their rightful place on the Ascended Throne.

The map is a bit tight, so it will lead to a fast paced, brutal game that focuses on early game strategies!

I hope you all enjoy it!

You would probably get more replies if you added a preview of the map!

Its size makes it a nice alternative to Sixlands/Fivelands that so many games play on. Although i dont think it is as perfectly balanced as them, its prettier

I fixed a preview meanwhile to this very pretty map:

Feedback: I like the "mood" of the map. For some reason it reminds me of Stephen Donaldsons Covenant-series. I think it fits Dominions, and I'd definitely use it.

One minor thing bugs me, the wheat looks a bit odd being larger than some of the trees. It does not need to be in perfect scale, but perhaps it would be possible to make it slightly smaller in comparison?

Yeah, I am planning on doing a second version of the map in the future. To be honest, I rushed the grass a little because I wanted to start playing the new game which I created this map for.

:P
