Yeah, I haven't gotten to the point of finalizing each city's stats, like culture. right now their stats are just place holders until I get done with the physical mapping. The reason some of the city locations are different from EB is because I've tried to make it as accurate as possible. If you haven't noticed, the EB map is based off of the Mundus Magnus map, which was more or less an expanded version of the vanilla map.

The map looks great

So, any news Athkara?

**Athkara** · 05-05-2009, 09:17

Sorry for the delay, no one's told me anything yet; but hopefully I can force them to talk by tomorrow

Great! But does that mean that the EB cities are in incorect places?

Real nice map, I especially like the mountains.

One problem I would say is that Amaseia is far too far west, it should be to the north east of Ankyra roughly halfway between it and Trapezous (coords 40° 39′ 0″ N, 35° 50′ 0″ E). Unless the Amaseia on you map is a different town altogether in which case just ignore me.

I believe the Amaseia on this map is actually "Herakleia Pontika"

Ah....that makes a lot more sense now.

Just to clear thing up, the cities haven't all been finalized yet and some of the names are still more or less placeholders from when I was first plotting out the map_regions. So if you see anything odd, please post it to help me keep track of what needs to be worked on.

Several of the cities do indeed seem out of place or strangely named. If these are just placeholders that is one thing (Bithynia should be Astakos until 264BC then after: Nikomedia; Amaseia should be Herakleia Pontika). But for some, like Side and Xanthos, are just in the wrong place. Side should be just to the east of where Xanthos is on the screenshots, and Xanthos just a tile or two west of its current position.

Cool
EDIT: sorry my first comment seems like a casual brush off. I'm really impressed with this, along with india and pre islamic arabia historical ethiopia has always fascinated me. I'll look forward to playing Aksum when AtB comes out.

Gentlemen, don't assume that someone else is going to deal with a racist, bigot or homophobe. Such people deserve your deepest contempt under any circumstances: report offensive posts like those above. Ignoring awful people like that only validates their purpose and implicates you in their hateful spew.
