Italy, Balkans, Turkey, Central and Eastern Europe Map

[phorvath2110]

Hey Gang,

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on this map that I'm working on. It's not finished yet, but I expect that I should have a basic layout done by next week including resources.

I intend to let Germany, Rome (aka Italy), Greece, Russia, Persia and Japan (sitting in Mongols) go at each other. It's a 180 x 180 map.

What do you guys think?

1) Wrong forum. Haha, I beat Zulu!\
2)It's nice, but it looks like you have Jungle in places like Italy, and the Greek Peninsula. No such things there. It also seems that you have too many mts in Macedon, and there isn't alot of land connecting the Greek Peninsula. A little too much forest in Northern Europe, too. Otherwise, the landmasses are shaped wonderfully!

 

[phorvath2110]

Hmm... I didn't realise it when I posted it that there was jungle in Italy and Greece. It was supposed to be Pine Forest, but when I was using BMP2BIC, it gave me the jungle instead. I just decided to convert those all to regular forest. Oh well.

I'm still working on finish Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria. Here's my latest update.

Oh, and I know there's a lot of forrest in Northern Europe. Originally it was all forested like that. I'm letting my civs chop all of the trees down themselves, instead of being lazy.

Really? I would think there would be some clearings or plains.

Would be nice to use for a Balkans War 1 and 2 scenario. Great map of the powder keg of Europe!

Hey gang,

I've put together a list of resources for this map. I'm wondering if I've missed anything.... I don't think they have rubber in Europe, so I'm just removing it as a requirement for infantry, tanks, etc...

This is just a copy and paste list off of worldfactsnow.com, but I'm wondering if I should lump petroleum and natural into the same oil resource. What do you guys think?

Albania: petroleum, natural gas, coal, chromium, copper, timber, nickel, hydropower

Austria: iron ore, oil, timber, magnesite, lead, coal, lignite, copper, hydropower

Belarus: forests, peat deposits, small quantities of oil and natural gas

Bosnia and Herzegovina: coal, iron, bauxite, manganese, forests, copper, chromium, lead, zinc, hydropower

Bulgaria: bauxite, copper, lead, zinc, coal, timber, arable land

Croatia: oil, some coal, bauxite, low-grade iron ore, calcium, natural asphalt, silica, mica, clays, salt, hydropower

Czech Republic: hard coal, soft coal, kaolin, clay, graphite, timber

Germany: iron ore, coal, potash, timber, lignite, uranium, copper, natural gas, salt, nickel, arable land

Greece: bauxite, lignite, magnesite, petroleum, marble, hydropower potential

That's not a bad list, once you consolidate it a bit.

What game are you designing this for, Civ3? PTW? C3C?

I can't wait to give it a try!

 

[eGuerrilla]

U seem to be missing Serbia from your list; the political centre of this "powder keg".

 

[Elmir]

This map is great. But Serbia is definetly not political center of Balkan!!! You don't have to create Serbia at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truth is painfull.

Some addition for Bulgaria: Uranium, and Albania: natural asphalt (in fact Albania have biggest reservs in the Balkans).

 

[phorvath2110]

ARGH! I have to see if I can find my map again. I decided to reinstall my os at home and I'm not sure if I saved a back up copy

Well I"ll look for it and hopefully I can redo the project.

BTW, this is originally designed for Vanilla Civ v. 1.29f. I run a Mac at home

I'm wondering if I need to go on a special mission to get them to come out with the expansion packs for Mac Unfortunately I think I'll have to wait for Civ 4

This map looks good, but I think it's way too much forest in northern europe. And it don't do so much if you make it as a vanilla version, because we can just import the map in the C3C editor.

Would be nice to use for a Balkans War 1 and 2 scenario.

Is already planning it!

 

[Slaven]

I once started to make a Renaissance Italy scenario where you try and colonize the Aegean. It was based on A History of Venice, a book I was reading at the time. You would play as Venice, Genoa, or maybe some other naval power. I quit because I couldn't make a good map. This is amazing and just what I was looking for.

 

[Kyriakos]

it looks very nice can you post a pic of Greece?

 

[Emperor Dushan]

Serbia must be created in scenario!ASAP

 

[BulMaster]

LOL I see someone won the post of the month prize and got a ban for that. Anyway really good map can't wait to get my hands on it and yes there is uranium in Bulgaria. To explain to the rest of this community, the Balkan nations have issues between eachother that go well back to a 100 years ago, we tend to forget slowly stuff. So I presume what everyone not concerned misses is that Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia have always fought eachother for dominance in the Balkans and we all had our fair share of it, well I can tell we and Greece did, sadly my history of when Serbia ruled the area fails me, but they sure want to have influence.
So in the spirit of what Varwnos said, can you post a pic of Bulgaria too while you are at it

 

[Pentium]

Slovenia: lignite coal, lead, zinc, mercury, uranium, silver, hydropower

It yould be really great if we had uranium in Slovenia. We wouldn't have to import it.

LMAO I was pretty sure he was striving to achieve realism of some sort on the map
