  • MAP: Venus

    No-one seems to have posted a map here for a while, so here's one for those among you who like such things... It's a 160x160 Civ3 map of Venus, based on radar scans of that planet's surface. It works best with 8-16 civs.

    I put sea level at the median height, so that means roughly 50% of the map is sea and 50% is land. This in turn means that there is more land available for a normal map of this size, so I increased the optimal number of cities so that you can create big empires
    without suffering from crippling corruption. This is the only rule change.

    Terrain and resources follow Earth standards, although this could never be considered truly "realistic" (coal and oil deposits would be hard to explain even on a terraformed Venus).

    Here's a mini-map so you can get an idea of what it looks like.



    Have fun!

          Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Pluto are all rock planets. Venus is not a gas planet, yes Venus has a lot of Greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, but it is not a gas planet. A gas planet is Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune or Uranus.

                  Technically all planets have a solid surface somewhere beneath the gasses.

                    yeah, there is ice on jupiter.


                    okay, it's frozen by pressure rather than temperature, but still...

                      Wonder why a gas-filled rocky mass is called "Venus"
                      I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
