[Map] Giant Earth Map

[Tigranes]

Proposal for Greece, +3 land tiles (+5 total with your territory change) with a redraw of terrain, and Boeotian Cephissus river added.

Lack of Cyprus and Crete always saddened me in this map. I realize they need to be grouped in one territory and space is scarce but still. Cyprus as copper hill was part of Civs' Earth maps as far back as I can remember...

 

[Gedemon]

I like it.

Yep, too close, but similar to Italy/Africa.

And yes, I want that pass there.

Another proposal:

I still plan to have a 203x106 upscale at some point, I don't know if it will be enough, but we may have the possibility to add back some islands in the Mediterranean sea then.

Suggestions for North/South Italy/France/England ?

East/West Anatolia ?

Land tiles are king in HK. For sake of AI previous version is better than aesthetics. Sometimes AI settle outside of Greece and goes Assyrian. And never ever goes Roman. Not once

Let´s make Greece great again.
There is a perfect spot for Korinth and a mountain for the Cyclopean Fortress.
I like the river in the Yugoslavia area. It´s aspot for Ambraika/Dyrrachium.

Suggestions for North/South Italy/France/England ?

East/West Anatolia ?

For names?

I think a good one for South Italy would be Mezzogiorno (or Two Sicilies); Northern Italy could just be Italy as it roughly corresponds with the Kingdom of Italy in the HRE (alternatively, maybe Lombardy?).

For France, I'd imagine South would be Occitania and the North could be just 'France'? (Alternatively, maybe Neustria?)

For Anatolia you could cheat a little bit and call the western part Asia Minor and the eastern part Anatolia - or there's Anatolia/Asia Minor and Armenian Highlands potentially.

For England, if you don't want to name it England - it pretty well matches up with the roman Province of Britannia.

 

[Gedemon]

For England, ...

Well, no, I can't deny it, I actually asked how we could name for the area north of England

 

[smartclick20]

Do you think there is enough space for Macedonia now? (Korinth, Pella, Byzantium)

I am partial of course, but Anatolia and Armenia would be a sight for sore eyes

Scotland is too bold of a name ?

 

[smartclick20]

North of England = Caledonia

How does that look zoomed out with territory layer ?

Next I'll ask for a name for the island west of the Isle of Man... I think maybe I'm relying too much on SeelingCat talent at naming.

North of England = Caledonia

Britannia / Caledonia, I think I'll go with that.

 

[smartclick20]

Irland = Hibernia

@Gedemon

{ 203, "Terra Del Fuego"}

Tierra (missing the i).

I forget to save I got only this picture

Suggestions for North/South Italy/France/England ?

East/West Anatolia ?

Southern Italy could be Ausonia (initially more localized) or Hesperia (greek exonym), Northern Italy could be Italia (not sure), Cisalpina, Lombardia or Padania (controversial name, but technically related only to the Po' valley)

 

[smartclick20]

I like the idea Korinth, Pella, Byzantium
And start to do something in Israel
What do you think about gold in Macedonia (Thasos)?

 

[smartclick20]

Southern Italy : Latium
Anatolia : Phrygia (West) - Bithynia (East)

I did some thinking and came up with the following compromise - attached here (apologies for the rough sketch!), combining Gedemon's revised Greece with some of the other suggestions here:

It gives us Illyria/Balkans/Yugoslavia (18 tiles - purple); Greece (16 - blue); Thrace (16 - Salmon); and Romania (20, stealing from Ukraine a bit). I'm not really sure there's a way to carve out Pella/Macedon from Athens/Corinth and Byzantium without making really small or snaky regions, unfortunately.

Gedemon, I'm not sure if it's possible but I wonder if there's a way to query the game to report each territory and the number of land tiles in them - it might help give us a sense of what the average size is and how big/small to go with territories. The Low Countries are - by my count - 14 land tiles and I think that's probably the smallest we'd want to go for most cases...
