Custom Earth-like map

Description
After spending the last millenium getting exceedingly angry at the results of map generators, I decided to build my own map with an emphasis on the inclusion of aesthetically pleasing start locations.
In Civ for me, it's never been about strategy anywhere near as much as it's been "That's not pretty enough for me to settle there."

My first mod, I hope you enjoy it.

I agree. I personally care immensely about how the map looks.

If one doesn't exist already on the workshop then I guess I could at some point, it would make an interesting project, but map making takes a long time. If you remind me after I finish what I'm working on now, I'll look into it.
UwU whats this? 12 Aug, 2015 @ 7:44am 
Do you think you could make a map thats like the earth 100million years ago with all the continental drift

Glad you like them :)
Working hard on new map, will try to improve them. It's also going to be quite a lot larger in size than the maximum "huge" level. Hope your computers can handle it but I just felt like I needed more canvas to play with.

Nice :) Looking forward to see it.

Just as a heads-up for those that liked this map, I've begun designing another new earth-like map from scratch. I'm going to be putting much more time and TLC into it this round, so look forward to a very realistic planet to play with.

Thanks a lot for the dropbox link. Downloaded the map from there, put in the maps folder and eureka! It works :)
