Well it took me a week to do but I finished the 256X256 world map. You can copy it from the link below.
http://members.home.net/shirleyburg/WorldMap.bic
I tried to make it as accurate as possible and limit the amount of good land so there is not too many cities. I also limited the amount of strategic resources so that the civs will have to trade or fight over them. I haven't yet play tested it and will probably make future changes. I'm also open to changes anyone has but for the most part think it is a good map. One thing that probably need changing is that there might not be enough stradegic or luxury resources but I think limiting some of these resources to certain areas forces the civs to expand into South America, Africa and the South Pacific as they are rich in rubber, oil, spices and other resourecs that you don't find in other places.
There is one problem with the map that to make the Pacific Ocean really big, Alaska and Asia aren't very close to each other. Since this area is not that historically important I left this instead of stretching Asia or shrinking the Pacific.
I also tried to add alot of goody huts and barbarian village to fill up the land so most of the world is covered with humans.
Please give me some feedback about the map.
