AngIOT - Would you play?

Looks good!

My suggestions:
-Judging from what you have in Europe, I would make the Gangetic plain a secondary cradle.
-In Persia what you have is fine, and I would make Media and Persis secondary.
-You could also make Bactria a secondary cradle, and if you really wanted to you could have it extend south and touch the Harappan cradle since the two regions were in some level of contact.

Alas I'm an even worse mapmaker than you are, else I would have placed these.

I think I'm going to pick up on all of that and then host the thread today

Here's the finished cradle map.

If anyone wants to add to it or correct it, I'm open for changes for a couple of days.

I'm writing up the thread now.

there were some older very detailed cradle maps in the NES forum, thought I'm not certain as how to find them...

I think this was a 3000BC one I made a few months ago. It is somewhat less "civilized" than yours...

And photobucket shrunk it, but I had this one once http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v517/erez87/dancing.png it was based on some actual map I found somewhere with all the exiting cultures etc. I think it was 3000BC too

It looks neat. I think I'll allow for more spacious cradles though (The polities in question will end up tiny anyways)

I forgot to say; the thread is up. Here:
