Map Suggestion Thread

[dissatisfieduser]

I've played a couple of hours of RFC v79 and I have a couple things I want to suggest regarding the map.

1. Change the marsh south of Angkor into a lake; add a couple tiles east of Phnom Penh and extend the Mekong.
proposal:


turnout:

As you can see, continental SEA looks more accurate and there's now room for Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City to exist.

2. Change the course of the Ganges River so that it is adjacent to India's spawn.
proposal and turnout:

I didn't like how settling one tile right of spawn would found Lucknow. Of course, I could just rename the city manually so this isn't a change I seriously expect to happen; just a nice-to-have.

3. Add floodplain to tile with salt luxury near Egypt spawn.
proposal and turnout:

The point of this change is that it is currently impossible for an Egypt player to settle Alexandria in the early game. While Alexandria being founded by Greece, which is in such a position to do so, is more historically accurate, I've rarely seen the AI do so, which leaves the dyes near the city unworked for most of the game.

4. Add river to represent the Bosphorus.
proposal:

Pretty straightforward: the river will hamper movement between Europe and Asia at this location, which reflects the situation in real life; also, makes Constantinople a more powerful city.

I agree with some of them. Let me try to add them.
For examples river Ganges is one tile away from Delhi on purpose

ok, implemented some the changes. Except India, and regarding Egypt, instead of that passage, I opened the east one (enabling movement of settlers to the Middle East; I want to leave the space in Alexandria, Cyrenaica etc. for Greece, Phoenicia and Rome)

So Alexandria still cannot be found? Unless the settler goes through another coastal city into the Mediterranean sea?

yea, still cannot be accessed directly, but can be reached more easily now through the east route. You'll need embarkation, so that will be a challenge with the neighbours

Can we have stability map for each civ?)
