New world map - upscaled Europe

[puglover]

This is a great map, Rob. I downloaded and am having a blast recreating history as Persia.

My only complaint about gameplay is that Russia, as in many earth maps, seems somewhat overpowered by its location on the edge of Europe, free to expand. This isn't a big problem though, and probably doesn't need correction.

Second, there are two misspellings. Athens is spelled Athen, making the Greeks found two cities named "athens". Julius Caesar is spelled Julius Cesar in the map as well, which is not that big but just a bit annoying.

Very good map, tons of fun.

Sorry that it took me so long to answer. I had a lots of stress in University and my Job.

That is no real misspelling, the map has been made with the german version of the game. It is german spelling, simply not yet translated into english...
I will change this.

Can you provide a screenshot of the Balkan region please, including Italy?

Great map really.
Only one comment : as other earth maps, there is no horses at all in north America. As far as I know, native north americans used to have horses no ? Why not putting horses in the great plains of north America ?

I like this mod so far but I was wondering if there is a way I can get just the map out of this so I can select what civs I want, etc. Like when you go into custom game you can select the different maps. Is there a way I can have this one as a selection without all 18 civs playing?

On this point, a tip could be the following : at the start, with the world builder, remove all units from a civ you don't want, except one worker (or scout,...). This civ will not impact the game and disapear by it self at a moment or another

The native Americans had no horses until they meet the european conquistadores or settlers. There is even a myth that some tribes first thought that the Horseman and the horse are one single creature and this was the reason they were so frightened by them.
Later the natives in north america adopted the horesmenship and some tribes became fantastic horsemen.

haha, I see you put down my northern Albanian mountain ranges

This is great for a world map but unfortunately not useful for my scenarios ... I have a few scenarios in mind, one which focuses on primarily the Balkans, one which focuses on Italy, the Balkans, Hungary, and Turkey, and another which focuses primarily on Albania and Montenegro.

If you're interesting in helping out by creating some maps for me, I could give you "satellite" pictures of the areas I need done and a more in depth explanation.

I would realy like to help you, but I lack the time to do so.
But you can use my map and change it the way it fits your scenarios, of course.

I understand and appreciate your lack of time. I hope you continue your studies and perform well.

However, for my scenarios the area I would need is much too small on this map... I would need to "zoom in" alot to make several cities for each small balkan country that can only fit 1 or so. But If I need a template or inspiration, I'll look to your map. Thanks
