Small Europe

[el_hidalgo]

Small Europe is a small (61x45) map of Europe with historical start locations. For BTS, it is based on the Europe Map 61*45 by KarlX. I like the map and that size a lot, but I wanted make it more geographically accurate. Since it has been reworked so much I decided to release it as a new map.

I tried to cram in as many civilizations as possible, including civilizations that once occupied part of Europe but whose capitals lay elsewhere, outside the map boundaries. Thus I moved the Mongol capital to Old Sarai, the Viking capital to Oslo, the Arabic capital to Baghdad. I've been fiddling with this for a long time, but I've decided to just go ahead and release it. I may update it some more based on any feedback I get.

Really cool map, I like how its small so you can realistically fight continental wars. Good job.

It looks great, but quick questions
What geological chenges did you make?
and
What are the civilizations in it?

Too many changes to list, and anyway I don't really know since I didn't keep track. But you can compare the following side-by-side screenshots to get an idea of them.

Civs included are: Germany, England, France, Russia, Spain, Arabia, Scandinavia, Ottomans, Mongols (Golden Horde), Rome, Greece, Carthage, Portugal, Netherlands.

I appreciate the size of the map (my computer isn't competent at all,) and I'm unzipping as I type this. I'll be back with impressions, and I'll roll English-French-Germans, in that order, btw.

Ahhh I see
I DEFINATELY like the change to Greece and Spain, that always annoyed me
Thanks

Nice little map. I appreciate the capital moving to fit the map, it's an elegant solution.

Thanks! Yeah, that bugs me, having capitals in the wrong locations.

I feel like you are missing some land here, like the Dutch and German border does not seem right.

I think I see what you mean, and I believe I've fixed it in the latest iteration (which extends further east as well):

Currently working on a version that includes all of the European landmass. Hopefully I will finish it this week.
