Bering

[PashaDawg]

Hello:

I have finished a new wraparound map inspired by the Bering Strait. It has 114 provinces and is designed for 7 players (5 land, 2 water).

NOTE: Attached is version 1.1 which fixes an error I found soon after posting the original version. Both the .rgb and .map files are new.

This is a great map for me, just the right size. Nice work as usual Pasha!

I'll put up a NI version of it for people who like that sort of thing in a little while.

[Kristoffer O]

I'm very fond of your wrap-around world-inspired maps.

Nice work! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

That's one damn nice looking map! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Atreidi]

Looks Great http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[WraithLord]

Really nice map Pasha. Thank you.

[Zentar]

Nice wrap-around map true to your style - thank you. It appears that the specially marked 7 provinces are the start points /threads/images/Graemlins/icon14.gif. I also like that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Very nice!

[PashaDawg]

Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

By the way, I noticed there was a missing province yesterday. So, I have reposted a revised version of the map (ver. 1.1). Both the .rgb and .map files were modified, and ver. 1.0 should simply be discarded.

Cool map Pasha - thanks!

[Ballbarian]

Thanks Pasha! This map is the perfect size for most of my games and wraparound is a nice bonus. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[PashaDawg]

Does anybody know the easy way to post the map on the map wiki. I don't have an account for it. I'd buy someone a beer if they did me the favor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Ballbarian]

I will see if I can remember how to do it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Edit:
Added to the Wiki. Let me know if you have some text that you want added or changed.

[PashaDawg]

Thank you! No need to change the text, although I will say that I tried pretty hard to design the map for balance if the preset starting positions are used.

Balance info updated. I was pretty sure that you made a lot of effort to maintain balance in your maps. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Beautiful Map!

[Herode]

Yep, love that map. I switch my new SP games on it. Good job !

[AlgaeNymph]

Gorgeous map. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

[PashaDawg]

Thank you. It was fun to make.

[SlipperyJim]

Beautiful map, PashaDawg. Thanks for it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Note to my fellow downloaders with ADD: Overloading the map can cause some funny games. For my current SP game as Hinnom, I started with 7 land-based AI opponents. (Clearly ignoring Pasha's suggestion for five land nations....) Lanka started next to my capital. Vanheim was two provinces away from Lanka. Ermor was two provinces away from me, on the other side from Lanka.

Of course, since HINNOM EATS EVERYTHING, I now have four capital provinces to call my own....

That'd be a great addition to Baalz's guide to omnivores, and makes for a great quote!

Very nice map.

You have a significent talent for making first class maps out of the real world.

I think it is a fair assumption that you are currently expanding your portfoilio. What is the next one going to be based on?

[Morkilus]

I've been away for a bit, but this is way nifty, just like the Alexander map. Are there any others like this I missed?

[PashaDawg]

No others. Just various drafts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
