NEED FEEDBACK: What do you think of this map ?

you should go further east i think.

Looks tremendous all round. The modders are really what makes this such a good game.

I was wondering given the region, will you be able to recruit suicide bombers - kind of like napatha throwers who just don't throw? Or IED planters who can hide anywhere and lay napatha mines rather like a longbowman's stakes.....

Looks very interesting - nice map too (though the image is a little on the large side

).

My only concern is that there are a large number of factions in a relatively small geographical area - are there going to be enough differences (culturally and/or via unit roster) between them to make them all stand out as individual and unique factions?

nice spoiler :)

how do you get editing the world map? is there a world editor? (sorry for this n00bish question)

I reckon it looks good. It might be a bit weird having a big desert in the middle of the map but sometimes it's good to try something different.

Well this map is a lot more "strategic" than vanilla. Arabian desert should really be impassable most of the year unless you have mega water supplies. So it will be impassable I think, for the most part. There are also a lot more choke points and valleys etc. Khyber Pass, Khunjerab Pass is there as well I think (northeast towards China). The valleys in the Caucaus should also be a lot more important for army movement, such as the valley between Ani and Yerevan.

There are a lot more rivers, which limit the movement of all cavalry armies. Anyway expect MASSIVE CAVALRY BATTLES, eastern style. Think Mongols and Timurids in vanilla.

Martok, being Caliph will bestow a large economic bonus (probably a piety one too ?). Will be a title for your King and will have various other bonuses which have not yet been detailed by the developers. Obviously this will only be applicaple to Islamic empires. If I hear something new I'll post. BTW Martok how come you did'nt buy the game yet ?

Check your PM (didn't want to drag the thread off-topic).
