Toza's World Middle Ages (Fixed Starts All MA Nations)

Description
provinces: 469 land and 57 sea
wraparound: horizontal

Toza's World Middle Ages is a lore-friendly world map for Dominions 6, featuring fixed starts for all 37 nations of the middle ages. On top of that, every nation has a mostly balanced spawn area, with access to similar province numbers. As such, the map should be balanced enough for multiplaye as well.

The map has very simple art for now, but can accomodate Dominions 6's terraforming and terrain changes well. Furthermore, there is an underground plane which all nations have access to in their starting area. Every nation starts on the main plane, but Agartha, Xibalba, Pyrène and Abysia have easy access to the underground from their capital province.

Currently, the underground terrain types are random and do not match the map surface. This currently cannot be fixed, but will be updated as soon as it becomes possible to do so.

The map has 37 throne spots designated. You can play with fewer thrones or other victory conditions as well. When playing with 37 players and 37 thrones, do 5-6 thrones for a short game, 7-9 for a medium length game, and 10+ for a really long game. Keep in mind that short is relative, and any game on this map will take a while to complete.

I will eventually make EA and LA maps as well.

Please report any missing connections, broken terrain types, and other bugs, and I will fix them as quickly as possible.

This map is my favorite. Most of all, the predetermined placement of the nations.

I look forward to your EA and LA maps.

this map looks super cool but i really like the artwork for the provinces in the games auto generated maps. Going to check out but probably wont use for a grand campaign until artwork gets figured out

@Rubber Ducky, presumably. I haven't tested for 38 nations but it should pick a random province. The map is balanced for 37, there are 37 dedicated spots and all of them should be roughly even in province count and throne access, so it's really meant for 37. That's all of the vanilla MA nations.

@Tozapeloda So if you use a 38th nation it will just spawn randomly then?

@Neo I may at some point scrape together the motivation to draw a map in Wonderdraft (so like my world map for Dominions 5), but since I'd have to draw it once for every terrain type I'm not super motivated, as you might imagine.

Great! I always loved the historical fixed start maps. In the description it says "For Now" In regards to the artwork, does that mean you plan on fleshing out details for the map in the future? Keep up the good work!

@Rubber Ducky, not currently planning to make a second version with random spawns and such, but it's quite simple to make a copy of the map files, and delete all of the #allowedplayer and #specstart lines from the .map file. That lets you use other nations, and randomises the spawns. Nations will still spawn on the provinces that currently have capitals. There are 37 pre-suggested spawn provinces, as the map is also balanced for 37 nations.

will other nations that are added by mods work on this map too? or is it possible to get a random spawn map?

Gave upvote for round Ind. Perfectly magnificent, as it should be
