New Series

[josefstalin]

It was I who created the Europe Gigamap, which after trying to revamp i have not touched in months.
Now i made a europe minimap for quick games.
I plan to make a series of such games
The map spans 10oW to 50oE and 70oN to 30oN. I am making first a second world war and then a first world wart scenario
I will put the map on this site soon
Any ideas or special requests?

Mini-scenarios sounds like a fun idea. You should just make alot of classic wars like ww1, ww2, napoleonic wars etc.

Edit: Btw, please share the map with us I've always wanted a good mini-map of Europe

Map here
- jungle and glacier terrain not used
no starting locations in this release

This map is slightly different from the one in my game, where certain terrains have been placed and altered for historical realism The map spans from 70 to 30oN and 10oW to 50oE. That is from the North of Norway to North Africa, and from Ireland to the Volga. So a pretty widespread area.

On that note, my WWII scenario, which is in progress, starts with operation Barbarossa. I have simulated, without events or such, that the Russians get reinforced in the north by December 1941 (just in time for the winter offensive) and that factories in the far east are able to produce troops intime for the next winter

There are seven civs
Russians
Turks
Germans
Neutrals
Italians
English
French
In terms of government, the Russians have communism, the Germans have republic, and the English and French have Fundamentalism, where Fanatics are replaced by volunteers

Population levels are small in this game, the major cities being around size 8 (representing 36 million people).

The game will be free to negotiation and spying, as all techs are available

I will have completed it shortly, perhaps some time next week

one important question. does anyone have any good sites where i can find military statistics and population demographics for that time

In my WWII scenario, i have made the populations close to what they are now. 1 million game population represents 100 million real population

[josefstalin]

also each military unit represents 50,000 personell

SO, any good statistics sites?
