Map: Epotara / Late Era Scenario Posted

Here is a small jpeg of the map. (It looks best in wrap-around vision. )

I really like how the different terrain types are very clear. It's a bit too big for my tastes though.

Any chance you could cut it in half (across the middle, just below the coast) and give us two more 150ish prov sized maps?

Hi Sombre:

That's a good idea to slice up the map... but I need a breather first.

Yes, I think it is helpful when terrain is clearly marked if possible.

I agree with sombre, too big. But still a good map!

Hmm. I think it's a good size for a game with 15 players, especially with a victory condition like controlling 4 or 5 other player capitals. That usually prevents the game from going much past turn 70 or 80.

However, perhaps, I will make another version with the same map, but redo all of the province boundaries to drastically reduce the number of provinces. (That's the good thing about layers in GIMP. ) Maybe get it down to 150 -200 provinces.

I have already started tweaking the province boundaries for a smaller version. It should be pretty easy to get the number of provinces down to about 175. Thanks for the suggestions.

It's nice you've made a big version first, as the AI often needs some space to start being efficent. On small maps it is too easy to make a quick rush to the nearest AI capitol.
I'll play this one with pleasure, big maps are so rare !
