Okay. We will keep it vanilla. Given that this game was originally posted as vanilla, I think it is best to keep it that way, unless no one had an objection to the switch.

Archae had a good suggestion concerning the map. The starting positions in Japan and Korea have a disadvantage because they only have 3 neighbors each. Some others have 6. I tried to stick swamps and waste next to starting spots that had a lot of neighbors, but nonetheless.

Archae suggested placing a mine or something next to the Korean and Japanese spots. I think I will do that.

You do? Where is Australia on this map?

The southern edge of the map, is the northern shores of Australia.

No, it's a wraparound to the same continent.

The precise features are slightly modified, in brilliant Pasha fashion, to allow a seamless wraparound effect. However, I must assure you, the map as designed, before wraparound is applied (see the preview in the map thread, or load in Map Editor and uncheck Wrap Around), is based directly off of Earthen geography. As noted, the only major changes were the shifting of Japan, and the inclusion of the tip of Scandinavia to achieve the end result as desired, but Australia is where it should be, what little of it we get - that is not the northern edge of Russia, I assure you.

Jim is absolutely correct. The northern section of Australia blurs into Northern Norway to the east and into Russia on the west. There is a little bit of imaginary coastline to finish the transition but not much. Even several province names are from a map of Australia. (Most provinces are named after real places, with some named after players or given fun names.)

Japan was moved west. Korea was moved south, closer to Beijing. Some islands near Papua disappeared. There is a wee bit of Germany south of Denmark, and Estonia is across from Helsinki.

Ah, fair enough, then. I hadn't checked the province names, but from the wraparound I assumed it was just the one land mass.
