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.

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

V3:

  • Rescaled Oil & Freshwater deposits to last a reasonable time

  • Made the channel crossing more shallow

  • Minor adjustments to deposits
