I had this great idea

Most of us already posted the civs, and if some want a new map and a different setup they should create a new thread, this one is ongoing already.

the maps HJ done are quite acurrate, if you guys help me i can make it the most acurrate possible
 
so, i took a look around the thread and tried to improve HJ map, everyone tell me if your civ is correct :

maybe a accurate map would be of some help to SK with placing the cities of the guys that haven't given exact placements.

wow, that map is really pretty...
 
yea, it would probably be nearly impossible to place 7 cities in the area you had before, so i added the Philipphines (always get this island name wrong...) and some more in the mainland. i guess that would be a good start area for your civ.

i however am not sure if Sparthage area would be that, while the borders are nice (:D) it looks too small for 7 cities...
 
a little south cause i want that coast,:devil: otherwise it looks fine:thumbsup:
oh and my vote goes for earth map:deal:
 
OK, I'll change my claim. Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile please, or that basic area.
 
I wonder how far SK is, cause he hasn't posted in a while
 
Well, he is grounded IIRC. So that might have a little to do with it :p
 
I got lost, what is Olaf civ, i think it wasn't in the map, anyway, South America right? (if there's going to be a multiplayer game don't expect my mercy, i want my native Brazil :mischief:)
anyway, will change some things in the map, moving Inhomotep to the south, any more changes?

at the moment i done this :

With what i think would be Olaf civ (La Plata?) :

i think the best way to deal with any advantage and disadvantage would be to mess around with an earth map.
i will also mock up is scenario using the RFC earth map and see how 5 cities would fit.
 
every civ stats with 7, so that's a lot, i think that he will use GEM...anyway, we can't think accurrately about the size of the empires when we don't know the size of the map he will use.
 
i played a little with the map, and that's how i would think that with limited wars around a Multiplayer game the map would be like :
j02o8.png

I would like the usual love to colonize, and would probably get most of west african coast while the romans expanded south.
in the Americas blue (trexeric) and purple (More Epic) colonies would probably be owned by SK and Tambien around the medieval age, but considering the usual games in Earth maps the Euros would be more advanced, and the South Africans would also have some colonies around south India, South America and probably most of East African coast, thanks to their awesome start.

Sparthage would lose the race to India thanks to expansion in Egypt and Arabia.
Redspy wouldn't be able to get all of Russia, but most, thanks to Tomorrow's being interested in Japan and Indochina.
Civ'ed would expande in Congo and would probably enter in some wars with celtic fury, trying to get more coast. while Celtic Fury would expand until around Mali.
Omega wouldn't have any luck being between two biggies wanting their lands, and i think they would try to resist, but losing territories and probably becoming Vassals in order to survive.
Ilduce will probably own Alaska, but will for sure lose it should the Chinese put their eyes in the Americas.
Yoshi wouldn't expand in the Americas because he would be somewhat backwards, whiout many good cities and with the (almost certain) powerful chinese at his doors he would have to keep a good garrison in Indonesia, he would however colonize Australia and use it to catch up some tech and get a good enough army to protect himself.


(this is only some thinking, of course luck, wars, how the player is like at the moment, etc...are all factors that will change it)

A bit late, but you must hate me to only expand into the Congo :p
 
@Duke of Britain: Redspy should fill in those empty squares by the northern side of Black Sea and Sparthage ought to get the rest of Anatolia. Maybe give hj Madagascar too?

Other than that, I'm missing Hainan Island & Taiwan?
I know those are just starting parameters by the way but I wouldn't mind dropping Changchun
(the northeastern most province I have) for Corea instead.
 
I know it is a little pointless but i made a scenario of placement anyway :D
Disclaimer: this is only to get the idea where everyone might be on an earth map. the city name, placement, map size, resources, land type, land size and pretty much everything else is not final.

1. Maybe, will take a look.
2. Sparthage said before he wanted Egypt, so i'm putting that in the map
3. I kind of agree in that, but i think Madagascar would be the first area he would want to colonize, while his north borders are small...
4. idk, the area i marked to you is big enough for 7 cities, of course it's only me supposing, i can change if it people want. and unless the map was big there probably wont be any city in Hainan or Taiwan, unless some crazy early colonizer settles it before you get it with culture.


I seriously hope he will use something like GEM.

1. every civ starts with 7 cities
2. well, some civs are wrong in your idea, like mine, that lacks : Vienna, Bucharest, Bordeaux and Madrid :p
but i would say the Central and South African civs are correct in your map :)



EDIT : some changes in the map
j02o8.png

- I withdrew from Ilduce Northern Canada because it would be more than just 7 cities to cover all this.
- considering Paris would be one of my big cities i would probably have enough culture to own the region i picked from MoreEpic and put at mine.
- I also made Russia (Redspy) move west, it makes more senses as he probably will make a push in Siberia, like Russia did, and gave Crimea and some other regions to him, it is enough to 7 cities, i think.
- Omega area in the map wouldn't be enough for 7 cities, so i expanded his regions east of St. Petersburg

I warn that the map will only be used if SK needs help in positioning the cities, don't expect the mod to be exacly like the map, we here don't even know how the progress is
 
Ok, I just finished editting earth 18 civs to get the capitals of everyones civ in. If the capital was a RL city that was in one of your claimed countries. I used that. If not I put the most optimal starting spot in your claims for your capital. Based mainly on resource placement in it...

It takes 16 civs, so we can have 2 more...


Please note: General Olaf is placed in China, since that was his original request and it worked.

I can't seem to upload the WB save. Will try again later
