Thanks Pasha, that means a lot coming from the wraparound map guru.

If anyone's interested, I've just announced an All-EA Nations MP game using this map. The signup thread is here. New players are certainly welcome to join.

Updated to Version 4. It corrects an insidious oversight that could have potentially given sailing nations a significant advantage. A number of connections have been corrected, as were a number of terrainmasks.

Since Version 4 includes an additional province, you must re-download the image file, even if you have a previous Version.

This version includes 2 .map revisions. In both, I've restricted the start locations such that no nation will start with fewer than 6 neighbors, though the great majority will have 7. A 2-indy-province buffer exists between all starting locations. There are 24 starts, which is sufficient to support an All-Nations game in any age (see image in the OP). The "with sailing starts" revision restricts coastal starts to sailing nations, the other does not.

Enjoy!
