Master Map Change Thread

@Merijn
Looks like Island Hopping is a bad idea, it mess the Polynesian colonization route, and judging from your screenshot, looks like Hawaii will have to be colonized via Micronesia, not via Tahiti > Marquesas > Line > Hawaii (which is impossible in Island Hopping method).

Perhaps a more elegant solution to the Hawaii issue would be a Trading Company-lite Settler spawn.

 

[BenZL43]

wouldn’t that left black gap in the map between the cities and Hawaii?
Like, they’re magically transported to Hawaii without canoeing to that island?

Since Polynesia’s strength is in naval and navigation, I think we need to find solution that will benefit from this strength.

I agree on principle but there are only so many tiles a BFC culture pop can cover and it's not enough to help reach the coast of Hawaii.

Just make a coast path to Hawaii. Easier, less coding and more elegant. You can also make a maze of coast paths to puzzle the AI.

 

[BenZL43]

AI won't play Polynesia.. though I've suggested previously to enable it if human = Inca, have yet to get a response.

There are no silver in Argentina.
I don´t know if Argentina is rich in silver but...
The name "Argentina" comes from argentum (silver in latin)
Also the Río de la plata (River plate) means silver river

 

[merijn_v1]

Argentina is derived from the Latin argentum ("silver"). La Plata Basin does not have any sources of silver, but the first Spanish conquerors arrived in the area following rumors of the existence of silver mountains, hence the name.

From wikipedia.

According to wikipedia Argentina has no valuable minerals.

So ironic....

 

[The Diocletian]

That's European explorers for you.

 

[Oregon Lee]

So in your guys' opinion... what else can we improve on on the map? From my memory I touched on nearly every point of the map with the help of your guys' research and opinions... Canada, Australia, and Russia. -nodnod-

 

[The Diocletian]

More diverse resources (new ones, ie oranges, fur being a trading company resource, etc.)

Larger Indochina (ala Europe and Japan, there is room)

That's all I got.

 

[Oregon Lee]

We already expanded Indochina.. and we don't need more resources; DOC doesn't swing that way. We got all the ones we need.

I'd like to say a bigger India... but by the looks of it, that doesn't seem possible :-/ . What about the resources ? *( India has some oil resources too btw, even though its a net oil importer) .

 

[BenZL43]

I personally still hope the Maluku can be separated from Papua in Indonesia, and perhaps some more islands around (just like in GEM).. but I don't know how. The main problem is if we shift Papua to the east, it won't align well with Japan and Australia.

 

[therox]

Also could you add these changes ? I've suggested them about 3 times and I still haven't got a definitive response.

Spoiler :

This.

[Oregon Lee]

Therox that is already included.

I don't remember if I included the forests. I had to import the vegitation from original maps, so it may be lost. You just have to find which tiles are (well this is the difficult part) and then edit with a text editor the maps. Well here is a TODO list:

Assets:
Import improved graphics mod.

Python:
Spawn of indi cities (like Magadascar)
Set 1700AD goals failed
Thai spawn

DLL:
historical maps (Thai, France)
update to SVN 621

Map:
Marsh in Europe
March in Newfoundland
Forest in Brazil
Move resources to city spots.
Add Polynesia.

Map/Python:
Late bonus check (1700AD scenario, 1700AD resources) (1800AD rerources and later)
Cotton spawn on 1800AD, Brazilian and carabean sugar at 1600AD
Tea in Anatolia and Morroco
Spicies in Maghreb
Banana in Guatamala
Banana, tea in Ethiopia
Sugar in Europe
Crab 1S in Ireland

Remove Catholicism from Byzantium, Kiev spawn orthodox only

Make the 600AD a 500AD map with collapsing Persia

Note: Do NOT edit the maps through worldbuilder. It is better to edit them with a text editor, else you will have a save instead of a map.

If anyone wants to proceed, they is welcome .

 

[Oregon Lee]

Marsh to Europe. You mean near Belarus?
Tea should have already been included in Morocco and Anatolia.
I haven't played your edits yet, but it sounds like you started from a version of my map edits from a long time ago?

Making the 600AD map a 500AD map sounds very good.
