Jaredia: An Alternate Earth [180 x 94]

[Stangle Khan]

Jaredia is an alternate Earth where the equator runs in such a way that far more landmass exists near it. Just to warn you the map image below is quite large.

The Map

Spoiler :

With jungles in Siberia, deserts in India and a frozen hell of Africa, this is not the world we live in.
Play through a world that closely resembles our own, but diverges in the arrangement of the continents, the sea levels and the climate. Sail along the coasts from one end of the world to the other, explore a lush Antarctica, have naval battles in what should be the North Pole and march from Java to Patagonia without ever getting your feet wet.

Every Civ is available in the TSL version. It's not a scenario and can be played in both vanilla and modded.
Multiplayer should work, but hasn't been tested as of yet.

Recommendations for Playing on this Map

Spoiler :

First and foremost, I do not recommend playing totally with random Civs TSL, especially if you are playing as a European. Europe is already somewhat enlarged compared to what the source map depicts it as, but it is still quite cramped. With nearly half of the game's Civs, Europe has the potential to be an absolute madhouse.

Second due to the size of the Map, I recommend playing with 22 civs and 41 City-States. This is not only because the game would be quite empty with less, but also because resources scale based off of the number of players. Playing with fewer players in the game can cause the map to feel quite barren. The resource scaling is irrelevant in either of the set resources maps.

Third, I recommend playing on Epic or Marathon speed. This is because the size of the map will cause units to become obsolete by the time they get anywhere on Standard. I do not recommend playing Quick at all on this map.

Finally do not look for perfectly accurate everything. The mountains aren't perfect, the start points aren't perfect and the geography isn't perfect. If you want a highly realistic map, go play one YNAEMP. That being said, if something is so blatantly wrong (other than a CS start location I've moved those around quite a lot in some cases) please leave a comment and recommend a change.
