New Map: The Nile

[quantum_mechani]

Made for duels or other small games.

EDIT: New version, fixed some bugs.

A version of the .map file with some interesting pre-placed indeps and sites.

Cool! We need more tiny maps! Thanks.

No problem, I will probably be making more maps in the future. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

COOL!

I really like the idea here. I tried making a nile-area map myself a while back, but never was really satisfied with it. It was also small (good for 1 on 1), but it was very north-south oriented, with the western desert and red sea as boundary areas. There were just a couple of start locations allowed for either side, so it would be like a papyrus vs lotus battle between the two middle kingdom powers.

Good idea to pre-place some important thematic sites there. With the Pyramid at Giza there you could add the Catacombs around Abu Simbel / Aswan for balance for the Nubian faction http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

I get an error that I can't open the file when I try to use this map. I tried to download it twice.

[quantum_mechani]

Can you be more specific about the error? And which post did you download from?

Oh, and thanks, sil, glad you liked it.

Did you perhaps download and unzip the updated .map file from quantum's second post, but not the attachment from the first post, which has the file containing the image of the map?

I downloaded and unzipped both files and I get that weird error that I can't remember like nagot fel or something.

All dominions errors are nagot gick fel http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

But it usually also says something more specific in the error message.

I am not sure if you have received this comment yet, but I find that I commonly start on the very edge of the map. Is that intentional? I worry that it affects the resources available in my capitol province.

Maybe the edge provinces could be no start positions.

I am trying this map out in two 1x1 MP games. It's the perfect size, when one is looking for a very small game.

Thanks again for making the map!

I no-started all provinces that were not A. Farmland, or B. Bordering farmland. If you are starting somewhere else, something weird is happening.

I am wary of no-starting any more provinces, as there are not that many places left to start in as it is.
