this is a slightly smaller earth map, based off of rhye's 18 civ earth map.
there's a few less rivers, and resource placement is done like on rhye's map. civ placement is somewhat exact (england starts in england, etc)
also, when i was making the map, i had a little fun and opened up a northwest passage. you can close it by editing the featuremap bmp.
rhye's map is 124x68. even though this one is only 24 x tiles and 14 y tiles less, it makes a world of a difference for performance on my end. 100x56 is comparable to a standard terra map.
screenshot of the minimap and bmps to edit the map are at:
download the attachement for the map, and put it this folder:
