Without any further ado, this is my map of Erebus for Fall From Heaven 2, based roughly off of that from Age of Ice. The map includes thematic, (mostly) lore-friendly starting locations for all nineteen civilizations, complete resource and unique improvement placement as well as a handful of specially placed barbarian units, cities, and dungeons for flavor.

I will be the first to admit that I could have done better on this first project in many respects, and am submitting it to the community not only for your enjoyment, but also feedback. Geographically, I feel that the map is a real a gem, but what was won in aesthetics might be lacking in the strategic allocation of resources and elbow room for some of the civs. Of course, in some sense, having a single city-state that can hold its own against a small confederation adds some color and tactical involvement to the game.
Please note that the map does come with certain presets which reflect my playing preferences, and was originally intended to be played with the 'End of Winter' challenge. Alter them to your liking!
