Petri Dish Map

Civilizations grow like bacteria and fight for resources and space.

After playing a ton of realistic earth maps I was looking for something a bit different. The shape of the map was inspired by CowkillerCanada's Arctic Circle map: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=154470651

Map 1 - Petri Dish:

Petri dish gives you a large open space contained within an impassible circle of mountains. With no oceanic barriers for expansion it gives each civ a fairly even playing field: you will not be stuck on a small peninsula while your enemies have a whole continent to themselves.

The petri dish is dotted with cells of forest, jungle, desert, tundra and snow with a variety of hills, marsh and flood plains. Rivers can only be found outside the cells, presenting strategic choices for where to place your cities.

Resources and civ placements are randomized for each game. There is no specific Scenario, so you can use the advanced settings to setup your game as desired.

The world size is Large. For a nice challenging game add a few extra players to keep the expansion pressure high. If theres any interest I can make a smaller version too.

Map 2 - Petri Dish Ocean:

Replaces the grasslands with a large coastal ocean. Each cell is 3 to 7 hexes wide so the land-masses are still fairly balanced, and each cell is within one ocean hex of at least one other cell. This gives your empire plenty of options for expansion while leaving corridors of open ocean for naval combat. Rivers are only found on the larger cells so most players start near one.
