Map: Realm of Many Tomatoes (97+14)

provinces 23 and 14 look like they should be connected

Excellent map. And I agree that it would make a great 4 player game (about 25 prov each). It would work for more of course that tends to affect my favorite nations in ways I dont like.
Thanks for the map.

I would really like to see an 'islands map'.

Various flavors there of - if you work on another map.

Islands would be a good way to make fair starting conditions. Ie., each island would have 4 neighbors for example.

Also, it could ameliorate the usual water problem of too many land neighbors for each water province.

You could have a couple of 'holes' of deeper water, where water nations would start.

Finally, differnt versions could have a different number of provinces per island.

I'd suggest one version with 5 provinces per island. One with 9
(two provinces suitable for forts). And maybe 15 or so.

No similar maps exist. It would give incentive for people to play some of the lesser played water nations. It would give reason for land nations to get into water, and ease water nations transition to land perhaps.

Also, has little value in most games - this could rectify that.
You may wish to make the neighbors 3 neighbors links + one sailing link.

Anyway .02~!

I assume you mean sailing has little value? otherwise I'm failing the implication test.

Exactly right tru, thanks for the catch.

Thanks elmokki for this interesting map.

We decided to use it for the largest italian game of Dom3 to date.

I uploaded the map on llamaserver but I had to change the name of the tga reference in the map file because it had different capitalization than the filename and it created problems with llamaserver. On a side note, I think this should be added to the llamaserver FAQ because the map works perfectly in game, but it gave problems when trying to upload it. (probably as Kestrel said, it's because Linux care about case)

I'll let you know if we find any oddities!

It seems like provinces 23 and 14 should be connected, but they are not (south center). Please confirm that this is a bug (or add mountains )
