Big Game Hunters! (44x32)

[daveyjwin]

For anyone familiar with Starcraft, you will know the general layout and idea of this map. The general idea is to have all the civs have an equal starting point, and a middle that, while not ideal, is needed and contested over in the late game.


General Info
-I couldn't make all the spaces exactly equal, as I would have liked to, but for the smaller spaces, I made some slight little advantages (better unique resource, river placement, etc) to make up for the tile difference.
-Map Size is 44x32 I think.
-Each Civ has it's own set of necessary resources (Iron, Coal, Copper, Horses, etc)
-Each Civ has 4 corn and 4 wheat to facilitate city growth.
-Each civ has two resources (one luxery, one food) that it has sole possesion of, for trading purposes, and only has 3 of each of these, so make good choices of who to trade with.
-Oil (8) and Uranium (only 4) are in the middle.

That's all I can think of to note off the top of my head. I've attached a screenshot of it. Play it and let me know what you think! Opinions, contructive criticism, and vulgars tirades are appreciated!

P.S. This is my first post, but I've been a periodic lurker here since the Civ II days.

P.P.S. Making rivers sucks. I can never get them to do what I want them to.

This is all i have to say...
LOL


but seriously, i might try it. doesnt look to civish or realistic though

Hey now, laughing at my hard work!

It's not supposed to be Civish, it's supposed to be BGHish. Maybe this way the game will play out according to skill, as opposed to who has the best starting spot. Or maybe not. What do I know?

[csrjjsmp]

Didn't bgh have a lot more expansion spots? It wasn't all just the starting area and then the center, right?

 

[daveyjwin]

I haven't play SC in quite some time, but if I recall, "Perfect BGH" is roughly like what I've made, and BGH had a mini expansion slot for each civ area.

Is it possible to build coastal cities and attack over the seas, or just on land? If I remember right, eery time I've played BGH on SC everyone just masses air =P

I downloaded it and tested it. It is realy a good map, but you gave the inca the settler, which is on the german startinglocation.
