Description

A (somewhat?) faithful rendition of our lovely planet. I tried to strike a middle ground between gameplay and representation.

Resources are mostly quite generous. Do feel free to hit me up if you have ideas for balancing. I decided to rather err on the side of too much.

Gameplay will a bit different from your usual map, as there isn't as much of the plateau climbing gameplay of the official maps. That said, you should have some fun connecting the continents!

In some areas, flattening the coastlines might also be a bit of a challenge. Please check OCEAN ACESS before planning your docks!

Feedback always welcome.

V4: Update 3!

  • Added new resources: Uranium, Bauxite, Titanium

  • Reshaped some continents for more fidelity

  • Added more islands to make ocean crossing more viable

  • Added more basic resources to some starts for more viability

  • Added some ocean resource deposits to reflect underwater deposits, will test and maybe add more

Updated the map to V2 V2: Added more accessible Iron to Europe start added small amounts of Uranium to Africa and North America made the Himalayas worth mining (it's just more fun!) Reconsidered difficulties of starts

Updated map to V3: Rescaled Oil & Freshwater deposits to last a reasonable time Made the channel crossing more shallow Minor adjustments to deposits

The map will be playable but difficult at launch of Update 3 because the new bauxite ore, maybe you can ask somewhere a 'mapper beta code" for updating your incredible map for train.
