i love the map i really do but 2 things are bugging me
the complete absence of cave starts
and the inconsistancies of "travel", i mean river crossings and mountains, there are flying and teleporting(TP) ways of mouvement but you still cant cross them.
some "rivers" are crossable and other not at all (big desert river,
all underground waterways except bridges)(salinity or "heat" dont stop TP or fly)
i can understand the mountains ones, it create intersting scenarios and chokepoints especially the top right, with only 3 entries
BUT the lack of profince connection cause problems for rituals too
i guess the thing we both want is uncrossable terrain that dont bother rituals/TP

@Lord Hand, Yes! Well you can mod it surely, it's not too difficult.

Love the map but the lack of cave starts is killing me. Abysia *needs* to start in that underground lava region, the flavor!

love the huge size

my games get absolutely epic in the late game. thx for the beautiful big map

Hi mate! Really a nice map, unfortunately far too large for our new 12 players mp. I wished there would be a version around 300 provinces for more standardised mps. Still really a great map, thanks a lot for sharing!
Cheers

Davi, hexagons are just easy to make). I would go crazy if I drew the borders manually

I see I'm not the only one who thinks hexagons are bestagons ;)

BROceratops, no, but you can add it yourself, I wrote about it in one of the comments.

@shoulin are there any cave starts?

walborder, yes, there should be more wastelands, but that would be too cruel.

Should more of the southeastern provinces be wastelands? It seems only a couple are, yet many share the same artwork...wonderful map I appreciate you sharing it!

BLloyd, sorry, I had some problems and couldn't answer earlier.
You can set up spawn in the cave provinces yourself through the in-game map editor. It's not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
The map should be located here:

This map is amazing. Would it be possible to set some cave areas as potential start locations for cave dwelling nations such as Agartha?

perryshafter87, it's nice to hear that it's well balanced because that was the part I wasn't sure about

I played this map in single player. It's spectacular both graphically and in play balance. Thank you very much.

LemonSpray55555, I also made this map, but I can't call it a good one.

Shoulin thanks for the answers do you have any other maps or are you adding more to this one?

LemonSpray55555, I decided to make them impassable because in the cave it will be difficult to visually distinguish a frozen river from a non-frozen one, and as far as I know, underground water does not like to freeze.

Shoulin thanks for the response i didn't mind the lack of roads or connections in those mountains but i did just remember that all the underground rivers cant be frozen or crossed in anyway i'm unsure if that intentional or its fixed and not in my game

LemonSpray55555, Hello, I really forgot about this river, but I've already fixed it. as for the roads, maybe I'll add them later. Do farms have to be in cities? I have allocated separate provinces for farms. And I made the thick mountains impassable on purpose, perhaps this is a controversial decision, but I thought it was the right one.

i like the map played it with MA ulm started west of the water dounut just north west the cave entrance but south of my start is a river which needs to be frozen to cross but it has bridges that don't work so is that a mistake?, also there are no road connections (green dotted lines) also i don't mind these but i will bring up that tiles with city's aren't farms (but i think they have more pop) and the thick border mountains can't be crossed.

Spectacular map. Everything on it's wrought in beautiful details, many of which are functional. The working gate provinces on either side of the massive walled city are a particularly nice touch

Kellen, thank you, I used wondercraft, it's not free, but there are quite a lot of good assets on it.

Looks wonderful! what program did you use to make it?
