[GS] Mapping Civilization VI: Gathering Storm

[bite]

It is that time again but I have been working non stop since the expansion was released and here it is

Every Feature in Civilization VI: Gathering Storm all on the one map

My Seas, Lakes, and Bays Oh My! Update is now live

Good work! A small correction however, Viborg is a former Swedish/Finnish town in present day Russia, where it is known as Vyborg.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Nicely done, bite. And fascinating to read about your journey as always.

I hope you had time to sit down and play through all that.

 

[Krajzen]

So beautiful.

Also, so wonderfully geographically balanced world Firaxis did this time. The only blind spots for me is East Africa (Ethiopia/Somalia/Swahilli), Maghreb (Morocco/Berbers) and Central Asia (I still support Timurids).

 

[Xefjord]

Thank you for your hard work! I love maps and I love Civ 6 and you always mix my two passions more beautifully than I ever could. Definitely sit down and get your well deserved Gathering Storm time in lol.

@bite

It would be great if you were to include the maps in a ZIP folder. It would be easier to download.

Really great job. The only fault I found were the mountain ranges were truncated too much. For instance, the Alps run between France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

Interesting, I'll have to check that out

I'm not sure my site can handle that, but I will look into it

Yep I mention that in the analysis that it was simply one of the sacrifices I had to make when putting it together

You can link the files to Google Drive or Dropbox instead.

Oh, and one more thing that I wanted to say, your current method of solving "controversial borders" is excellent. "Simply color modern country borders in every case when modern country has strong continuity with some civ". Some other maps like this other people made for civ5 and civ6 were really inconsistent or tried to display "what each leader actually controlled" in every case. This resulted in problems such as unreadable Middle East, because of overlapping borders of all those empires at full extent (Egypt+Babylon+Assyria+Ottomans+Arabia+Persia = gg Levant with 6 colors at once).

A version of which you can see HERE that I did, and one I started to mock up for Gathering Storm but then looked at The Ottomans and then cried a lot and focused on the big map

Many thanks, Bite.

I hope you don't mind my suggestions and corrections.

We begin our tour with Africa, the home of civilization, which is thematic on many levels, and I dig thing being on multiple levels.

You dig things, not thing.


Ibn Battuta. Not Abn.


The other sort of addition is Phoenicia (and also The Ottomans), in the past, the game has used Carthage as the focus of the civ, but this time they are mixing it up.

Use two separate sentences.


Scandinavian Peninsular.

Should be Peninsula.


The second was how many lakes to I add

do, not to.

 

[Zaarin]

Beautiful work as always! Some things that stand out to me regarding a hypothetical third expansion: Assyria seems really likely, there's a very obvious hole in Central Asia (Sogdia, please?), and there's a Muisca-shaped hole in South America...

Thanks for the feed back Ferocitus

Spent the morning updating the MAP to move Viborg to the right place

It might have been easier to raze Viborg and rebuild closer to where you had it on the original map.

I hope I'm not being too presumptuous when I look at that map and see some very clear empty spaces that conveniently fit the Maya, Vietnam, Burma, Ethiopia, Portugal, Assyria, and civilizations from North Africa and Central Asia.

...and I suppose that ninth slot can be filled with a Byzantine leader for Rome.

There are a couple of noticeable gaps in the map that could be filled by another expansion/DLC

 

[bite]

I'll be updating this map with all the sea names once I get a list of them all

 

[SeelingCat]

One of the ones from the stream was the Rheic Ocean, so it looks like they're including prehistoric seas, which may be hard to place on your map unfortunately.
