I like that map. And here I thought we were gonna have to do some kind of magical timewarp to get to India. But it looks like the land-based powers will have a chance too :D

Also, it'll be interesting to see how they do the Persians. They were rather rich, as I understand it, making a nice income from selling scientific instruments and so forth, and were still regarded as something of a 'center of learning', even if the only people they could stand up to militarily were the Ottomans.

On a small note, it seems Portugal doesnt get any colonies. The little bit of Brazil thats showing is blank, although that is understandable, I suppose, given that the main effort was further south...

EDIT:
And I do hope they dont make the Russians red. That would be rather stereotypical >_>;
