did nothing wrong
Mostly based on Sword of Islam map, with lots of balance fixes and Greece/Balkans addition. Croatia, Kashgar, Sudan and Goa are the corners of the map.
a notable change from the original map: deserts at western Egypt removed to help Amurites during their wars against barbarians/Doviello, to prevent early destructive rushes, yet Amurites usually eliminates in early ages.
starting locations of civs:
Lanun - Oman
Sidar - Yemen
Amurites - Upper Egypt
Elohim - Jerusalem
Doviello - Axum/Ethiopia (I couldn't find more appropriate position in middle east)
Illians - Athens
Ljosalfar - Sinop/Northern Turkey
Bannor - Cilicia/Southern Turkey
Khazad - Armenia
Clan of Embers - around Mosul/Northern Iraq
Sheaim - Wasit/Southern Iraq
Hippus - around Rayy/Western-Central Iran
Svartalfar - around Mashhad/Northeast Iran
Kuriotates - Fergana Valley/Central Asia
Calabim - Lahore/North Pakistan
Malakim - Sindh Region/South Pakistan
Grigori - Goa/Southern India
Balseraph - Ajmer/Central India for this map
Luchuirp - Ghazni/Afghanistan
Some screenshots from the map:
map tested in tholal's naval ai mod, so for the best balance experience I recommend it
