Hi Robin, finally you've come here !
Very nice map indeed, French touch oblige !

Wow, merveilleux!

Est ce que je peux demander: Qu'est que ca veux dire?

- SITES ARCHAIQUES : presence of old cultures or vestiges of forgoten civilizations ;
- SITES REMARQUABLES : a special site... ;
- EDIFICES RELIGIEUX : A religion related site ;
- EDIFICES MILITAIRES : a special military related site

Merci beaucoup!

This is a gorgeous map! Just started a MP game on it with some friends and everyone was impressed with how good it looks. Thanks for the hard work!

Simply put, excellent.

Many thanks for creating and sharing.

First, I would like to thank you all for your congratulations.

Then, I'll try to explain these points :

- SITES ARCHAIQUES : presence of old cultures or vestiges of forgoten civilizations ;
- SITES REMARQUABLES : a special site... ;
- EDIFICES RELIGIEUX : A religion related site ;
- EDIFICES MILITAIRES : a special military related site

>> All these buildings on the map indicate the presence of a magic site (one of the many magic sites of the game). Some have archaïcs, religious or military background (directly inspired from the RPG universe of Hannoerth).
And the Last one, is simply remarquable (without archaïc, religious or military background).
I will publish, soon, a real "touristic Guide" for this map and the other, and some other stuf about the universe of Hannoerth... All these points should be clearer !

Hello everybody !

Robin your map is wonderful ! It gives the feeling of travelling through a real landscape, I love that ! The game becomes more immersive with "Tyrande".

Is the "touristic guide" coming soon ? I can't wait to read about each site and its story ! Searching for magic sites will be even more exciting !

Thanks for the great work !

I love this map as well and really enjoy it in terms of following its story and travelling through its realm. I also like the way the water is bunched up in one area, promoting an Atlantis-R'lyeh feud (although the creators seem to understand that it's unbalanced if you don't have two water nations.)

My only concern is the amount of power on the board and some of the starting locations -- I note that the water races start off with really poor opportunities with only three neighbors apiece. Haven't tried land yet (finals) but that seemed to give them a bit of a disadvantage (which might be balanced by the sheer amount of water area for them to conquer all by themselves.)

I'm also curious to hear if anybody feels any of the sites are a little overly powerful. I know I was surprised to start, as R'lyeh, in a space with a Kraken Pit right off the bat. That gave me a huge advantage to conquering indies but I think it'd balance out in the long run. But are there any greater areas of concern?

Otherwise, though, I'm -very- impressed by this effort and look forward to more. I'll definitely keep playing it SP over the summer.
