the latest version is attached at the bottom of this post
Latest changes:
04.01.06: Added more forest, tundra, and ice above the Arctic Circle in Russia. Extended the forested areas on the Kola Peninsula and the White Sea to encourage players to settle in a more realistic pattern. Converted some peaks in Italy, Greece and Spain to hills. Moved the Mongolian starting point to the west, away from the edge of the map. Flood plains have been added along the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates and Jordan rivers. Added more Fish, Crab and a few Clam bonuses to the more barren coastal areas.
This is my first post and first civ IV map so so hopefully I am doing this in the correct manner.
Here are two screen of the minimap for the europe map I made from scratch
here is the minimap before I put in mountains or specific terrain and starting units/cities.
here is the loaded minimap after putting in all of the terrain and starting cities.
the civs i put in are:
greece
russia
germany
england
spain
france
rome
egypt
persia
arabia
mongolia
I made this map because I wanted something larger than the other Europe maps created and more geograpically accurate (not that the others are wrong). I did take three liberties on the map mostly because of the 128x90 limitation, the starting locations of mongolia, persia and arabia have been relocated because of the map cut-off. the mongols start east of the caspian, near where tashkent and samarkand would be found. the arabs start in Jerusalem, and the persians start in baghdad.
I started each civ with a scout and a worker located in your city. there are a number of barbarian cities located in areas such as Istanbul, Dublin, Stockholm and elsewhere.
I just finished the final details and am going to play through the map a few times tonight before I post a downloadable version.
feedback and suggestions would be appreciated,
thanks.
