Seleucos I Nicator
08-27-2005, 22:07
This is a map I have been working on for the better part of a month, or maybe more. I cut it down to include Crimea, Thracia, Asia Minor, Armenia, Babylon, and Egypt. It goes as far West as the edge of Asia Minor to the eastern regions of Susa. It is rescaled back up to a bit bigger than the regular size settings.
This map is to be focused on the wars between the mighty Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms. With squabling petty kingdoms surrounding the larger, more powerful kingdoms. There will be oportunities to land grab everywhere. This is far more indepth in this region than any other map.
You will be able to fight for the more dense and populated lands of western Asia Minor, the Nile Basin, the Levant, and even the Thracian coast. You will experience a whole new dimention to the geography of the region. The topography will be far more realistic and detailed.
This map will have a twist. I will be including Pergemon, Bosphoria, Kingdom of Tylis, and Galatia. Each with a unique unit list and skins. These factions are still debatable, but are close to being set in stone.
The map is nearly finished. Here is where I am at in the map_regions targa: (click thumbnail for larger picture)

I still have the rest of the Levant, Armenia, and Babylon to do. Plus texture touch-ups.
I will show you some screens of the map in-game.

This is all, WIP. Once I finish the map, Wes agreed to help with units and code in the factions. While Xanthippus of Sparta and driddle help with unit descriptions. I owe them a lot. Shouldnt take too much time. I dont know exactly how long though. A great thanks goes to Atilla Reloaded for allowing me to use his Galatia faction units.
