Opportunity Civ 6 Mirror Map

This map was inspired by the Yogscast's excellent, entertaining Civ 6 streams.

It is a 6-way mirror map that attempts to balance land and naval power, making both relevant. From the starting position, there are many possible settling decisions:
- Moving away from the center towards the banana corner for good food
- Moving away from the center towards the marble for culture and a quick luxury with mining
- Moving closer to the incense in order to get a quick pantheon
- Going all the way to a coast for the quick sailing boost (probably something you would use with a more naval civ such as Phoenicia, England, Indonesia etc)

Your land-based connections with your neighbors have a 1-tile chokepoint, which could also potentially create a canal city that connects the outer ocean with one of the 6 inner seas. Climate change level 2 will flood this tile.

The 6 inner seas are separated by two tiles. A couple of them will flood with climate change level 1, which could also create a connection.

You have at least some of each strategic resource in your "starting area" except for Uranium. The outer islands are rich in additional strategics. The cold, crappy islands that don't start with a city-state contain Uranium, and the center contains Uranium around the perimeter.

There are tribal villages/goody huts on the paths to each neighbor and in the center. There are also some later-game ones on each of the outside islands. Also, remember to try to be the first to spot your local city-states for a free envoy! There may be some inbalances here depending on how the AI decides to move city-state units and borders, and who can most easily spot them first...all of this gives incentives for early exploration even when you already know what the map looks like, so it may still be worthwhile to build a scout.

Let me know if you like it or have suggestions!
