Hey, the Giant map is pretty cool, I don't know how much control you have over resources at this point, but by where St. Petersburg is supposed to be, where the ocean tiles, land, then one lake tile and a river are, even on abundant settings, there aren't any fish on the ocean tiles for a while going west, just crabs. There are also no deer, no truffles, no iron, and no niter anywhere close. I also think the Russians should spawn by that area, so I don't need to travel for six turns to get where St. Petersburg is meant to be.
Just some things to look at, it is a nice map in alpha as it is.
Thank you.
