I have attempted to create an interesting, large (256x256), balanced 8-player map; some playtesting against the AI did not show any major problems; in particular, AI players seem to be able to make good progress on the map. It can be found at http://pholia.tdi.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~philipp/widelands/ Here's the minimap: The map is based on the following aspects wanted to see in it: Somewhat realistic division of geography - rivers flow glaciers in the mountains through hills and finally plains to the sea. Somewhat realistic distribution of resources: Different resources often found at some distance to each other. Gold is valuable, and thus rare, especially in the early game. There are places of strategic importance, such as river crossings, that military action focuses on. Philipp P.S.: bbcode doesn't seem to work for me in the preview, I hope this turns out ok in the post. Top Quote
