Current Version: 0.31 beta

115 provinces, no water, suitable for 8-10 players. Many mountainous regions with narrow passes.

Map includes 2 versions: A minimal version (no province borders) and a standard version. Thick blue borders are meant to be impassable for the standard version.

A 'deluxe' version is in the works which will have icons representing terrain type, multisite (if present), Ports (with routes), and ultimately starting locations - all on the map itself for easy reference.

Ultimately will have set starting locations, but at present every province with at least 4 neighbors is a potential starting location (all others are set to no start).

Map is based on a googlemaps capture above south central china. Seems to be approximately equidistant between Changsha, Chongqing, and Guiyang, and not quite as 'central china' as i remember it. Its about 375 miles NW of Hongkong.

Apparently the map is too large to upload a preview image here, much less the .rar with teh game files. See the sharpnel thread for the time being: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread....5580#post775580 (Shrapnel made the preview image blurry by converting my png to jpeg, which i'm not sure why it did it in the first place. I'll have to fix that at some point).
