Comments and suggestions are also welcome! Thank you! Saph's Silk Road: The Crossroads of Empires (TSL) Can you build an empire that stands the test of time in this cradle of empires? Design Features Conquer the Silk Road: This map stretches from Italy in the west to China in the far east, also covering areas such as the Balkans, Anatolia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, Persia, Central Asia and Northern India. Balanced landmass sizes: Italy and the Balkans are enlarged while Asia is diminished to bring balance to the map, allowing plenty of space for every empire to develop. Navigable rivers: The rivers Danube, Euphrates, Tigris, Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Yellow, Yangtze and Pearl are navigable to make traversing the map a bit more fun and challenging. Choke points: In addition to the presence of navigable rivers, choke points are also created by careful placement of mountain tiles. Don't think you can just steamroll across the continents! Accurate rivers: Almost 200 minor rivers are added to their real life locations (as accurately as it can be done on a hex grid). Accurate terrains: Mountains and hills are placed based on real elevation data, and grass/plains/desert/tundra are placed based on USDA soil quality data. True Start Locations: All the official civs, city states and natural wonders are placed at their real world location (apart from the Giant's Causeway which represents the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River). Custom civs & city states: TSL are included for 18 custom civs and 52 city states. (If you would like any other modded civs to be added, please leave a comment!)
