Worldmap more Europe less ocean

I made this map cause I think the real world map has way too much ocean tilesand that europe is too small to fit more then 2 civs.
In Summary my edited version of the world map contains the following:

24 city states.
22 players.
Larger europe-japan-india.
Less ocean.
Less desert tundra snow ice to have more usable tiles.
Added a few sailabel rivers and remade a bit of the map for more gameplay fun,
so it's not COMPLETELY realistic but more fun.
Starting position wonders and resource deposits are balanced as best as.
possible while keeping it rather realistic.
Cutted southeren part of africa-australia for space.
A Blank version of the map is included for further modding.

Installation:

Just click subscribe (the green button).

IF THAT DOES NOT WORK you can copy paste the map from the mod folder to your maps folder and select it when choosing a map in advanced setup

Playing the map:

Once you're in the game go to Main Menu - Mods - Activate mod - Next - Single Player - set up game not Main Menu - Single Player - set up game. Choose the map (and respectively game pace) from the drop down menue.

IMPORTANT: To avoid that random civilizations, starting positions and resources appear in your game (for instance China in Europe) or if you start at the wrong place it is essential that you click the following button after choosing the map in the game setup screen, in order to have all the game elements as intended:
