Map: Alexander ---> Updated Map - Ver 1.5 July 2008

[PashaDawg]

Hello:

I have finished a new map inspired by the empire of Alexander the Great, but with some fantasy geography. It is a wrap-around map containing 290 provinces (246 land; 44 sea). Rivers are not impassible. All provinces along rivers have potential fresh water sites, except provinces that contain waste.

Babylon and Athens contain libraries.

There are some provinces with both border mountains and plains. Some are officially "border mountain" provinces, and others are not (e.g., 174, 194 and 200).

There are a few provinces that barely touch a river. They are not fresh water provinces (e.g., 175 and 194).

Thanks.

Pasha

Note: (July 2008) Attached is an updated version of the map that adds some optional preset starting positions (16 land; 3 water). I think they make it easier for balanced starting positions.
