A TSL map of the Mediterranean (All sizes!) Do you like Civ and maps? Join the Saph's Maps Discord! Saph's Mediterranean: Mare Nostrum (TSL) Can you build a civilization that brings peace and prosperity to rival the historic Pax Romana? Design Features Conquer the Mediterranean: This map covers Western/Southern/Eastern Europe, West Asia (Anatolia, the Levant, Mesopotamia, northern Arabia, Egypt) and coastal North Africa. Larger playable area: To maintain a balance between realism and fun gameplay, this map is designed to increase playable tiles: no more massive oceans taking up valuable map space, no more vast areas of the map dominated by the Sahara, no more massive Eastern Europe with only one or two civs. More balanced proportions: The proportions of various regions have been adjusted to bring balance to TSL: bigger areas such as Benelux and Greece where many civs start, and smaller Iberia, Anatolia and Eastern parts of the map where fewer civs start. Toggleable navigable rivers: Each of the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Danube, Nile, and Tigris-Euphrates can be turned from normal rivers to coastal tiles during set-up, allowing naval units to traverse deep into land while creating obstacles for land units. Choke points: In addition to the presence of navigable rivers, choke points are also created by careful placement of mountain tiles on land, and island tiles at sea. Plan your tactical maneuvers carefully! Accurate rivers: Hundreds of rivers and tributaries are placed according 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 are placed based on USDA soil quality data. True Starting Locations: 25 official civs, 15 city states and 8 natural wonders are placed at their real world locations. Custom civs & city states: TSL are included for 80 custom civs/leaders and 68 custom city states. Map generated floodplains: This YnAMP-based map has map-
