Randomised Mediterranean Map [R&F Compatible]

A map with coastline shaped like the real Mediterranean sea, but with randomised terrain types, features and resources.

The generator is weighted to approximate the climate of each region, with deserts in North Africa, grassland and plains in Europe, and mountains in the area of the Pyranees, Alps, Carpathians, and other prominant mountain ranges, but the exact details will be different each game.

Playable in all map sizes from Duel to Huge. The Huge map is 130 x 80 plots and can hold up to 60 players (including citystates).

The map is not scaled when playing at smaller sizes, instead it's cropped to show only part of the area, either selected at random or chooseable in the advanced setup screen.

Amount of forest, marsh and cliffs can be set independantly in the Advanced Setup screen.

Civs who historically held territory in the Mediterranean will start somewhere in those approximate regions. In some cases their capital city is renamed to better fit that location.

This includes Arabia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Rome, Russia, Scythia, Spain, Sumeria, Persia and Macedonia, as well as any alternate leaders for those civs added by mods.

Civs without a true-start region will be placed randomly. This option can also be turned off in Advanced Setup if you prefer all civs to be placed randomly.

If you are making a new civ mod yourself, and would like to include a true start region for this map, please click here[forums.civfanatics.com] for instructions.

The Dead Sea wonder will always spawn somewhere in or around the region of Israel/Palestine/Jordan. Other wonders will be placed randomly.

Can be turned off in the Advanced setup screen if you prefer all wonders to be placed randomly.

A custom method for placing start locations means this map supports up to 60 players on Huge or Large size, 50 on Standard, 35 on Small, 20 on Tiny and 15 on Duel (including city states).

Start locations will be spread evenly across the map, but ignore the usual starting biases civs have toward certain terrains/resources, or to starting in a fertile area near a luxury resource.
