    Ah Now I see the inspiration ^^ , the map projection is pretty unique and original I look foward to see more of it and it will look interesting to see development of the societies there.

For me it suggests some kind of gran event. Or what societies arose in the fertile crescent? Barbaric, civilized?

    I suppose I will have to wait to know kkkkk but sure I got inspired
    Thanks! Lots of possibilities for future maps.

    Thank you Diamond! Larion has been inspirational for me on this, though I have my own approach to the base heightmap that is somewhat different (I didn't use real world heightmaps for this).

    Yes, that didn't make much sense, so I added ice on that side in the newest version (not sure if you saw that).
