Well what I'm concerned about is the region distribution. If we keep our current regions there's going to be some large provinces
God, Family, Baseball, Friends, Rome Total War, and Exilian. What more could I possibly need?

Important to show Zhanadariya river in game map (for Chirik-rabad city) it can be dried on the SW or wade ca be there
Kuandaria river not so important, but in this region it can be obstacle to army traffic :

I would suggest to omit Greenland, Iceland and the small islands (can't remember the name, shetlands?)
Possibly could shave off a bit from the bottom too.

Be careful with 'feature' rivers - too many in one region\density in general can lead to a scroll crash.

Just as well one does not see the full map on the screen - players might otherwise end up with permanently titled necks

The ones far north of Scotland are indeed the Shetlands :)

Just so you know. I do a bit of work on this daily. However, I don't have that much time, nor do I intend to spend much of it on the forum or in chat. But I'm working on it.

Thanks for your effort, M, patiently awaiting the results.
General question btw, once the map is done, will it be difficult to implement it?

The map itself should not need anything further. It's the populating that will take a bit of time and work: defining regional borders and placing settlements\ports. Placing characters, wonders and resources. Basically all the text file work, a simple copy\paste of previous work will not be possible as the co-ordinates need adjusting (the rest of the entries can be copied)

Yeah, I imagined it would be kind of like that. Well still it seems to me it won't be too much of a hassle, which is great. Thanks for the reply! :)

I am hoping to be able to use the resources that Suppanut researched as well as keep our current regions. Fingers crossed!
