You know, you could start making the huge version of this map that can accomodate 60+ nations on it.

Many thanks Edi, now I might actually finish a game with the Faerun map

Looks good. Thanks!

Glad to hear you're liking it.

Added a No Specials map file to the opening post. It still has start locations enabled, but everything else has been wiped.

I know I could just play it and see, but I would like to know if you chose suitable terrain for different nations. For instance, were you able to place C'Tis in/near swampland? I'm currently looking for a map that has placement for all 17 nations, with terrain suitable to their play styles.

The terrain that's suited to a nation are multiple large farmlands for gold interspersed with mountains for magical sites. If you give C'Tis swamps, then those swamps are going to have small populations, and C'Tis will always suffer with a poor gold income.

Graeme Dice is right game balance cannot be ignored unless you're playing a singleplayer game.
