Greetings!
If you're here, that means you were intrigued by the name of this mod.
The final goal is a simple one.
To take the map of Europe Universalis: Rome from this:
To this:
Note: Both maps have been scaled down to fit here for your viewing pleasure. The scale isn't what is important in the pictures, but the distances covered by both.
First things first though, is we need to take this very basic outline, and do a number of things:
1. Correct for changes in land and sea that have occurred in modern times.
2. Create a map of the topography that this outline represents.
3. Create a map of the terrain that this outline represents.
4. Create a map of all of the rivers as they flowed in the past.
Once these four things have been done for the entire region we are using, it will then be possible for anyone with a little modding know-how to take a portion or all of the map and make it their own.
I would like to see this project advance from that stage however, and also begin the long process of assigning provinces and naming them for the entire outline.
My end goal is to create a map that is able to be used either in its entirety, or in portions for any EU:Rome mod that has to deal with Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor, and parts of Asia/India.
Basically, allowing anyone to have a map that includes the greatest empires of the day at their full extents. So this means it will be possible for the recreation of the Persian Empire, Alexander's Empire, the Seleucid Empire, the Roman Empire, and the Parthian Empire, among others.
Yet another goal is to finally allow regions that were very small, yet crucial and packed with various peoples and cities, to finally play an important role in the game and be represented.
It will now be possible for areas such as Sicily and Greece to be the truly decisive regions of the world that they were, allowing for more battlegrounds and more city-states.
There's only one problem, for the moment this entire mod is only my goal. I need it to be your goal and dream as well.
With the support of the modding community and the ability to share work and information, we can make this a truly awesome project that anyone is free to use.
So I'm asking for your support.
My own abilities are limited, and I won't be able to do it alone.
I have included the very first version of the map I intend to use as a template for all of our hard work.
You are free to download it, look it over, modify, anything at all that you want. Just submit any work you have done here so everyone else can look it over as well.
If you do decide to participate, you will be given full credit for any work that you do.
Thank you!
Edit:
I will continue to update the latest version of the blank map so that everyone can check it out in its full glory and contribute if they so desire. Once the blank map has been finalized (all land and water is in its proper place), we can then progress to rivers, terrain, and topography.
