[Abandoned] Mesoamerica

[AndyDufresne]

Already looks better than anything I ever did with this map!

Regarding the naming, maybe I missed it if somebody already posted this but some of the cities depicted here aren't even remotely Mayan, but all existed during what is called the Classic Era of Mesoamerican civilization. The Mayans never got up into the Valley of Mexico, for example. There's no perfect name for this map, as you can either be succinct or accurate. The most historically correct title might be "Mesoamerica: the Classic Era." It doesn't entirely suck.

I could dig this name.

I like this name as well, and I really like the map. It has a great feel, warm with a nice pop. Great work as always natty.

Ok, before I change the name of the map (again), is there any input on the proposed sea route bonus?

I was figuring something along the lines of +1 or +2 for holding a sea route (north sea or south sea) and both regions that connect to it. For example, Zempoala - North Sea - Dzibichaltun would give you +1 or +2.

Hm, it's an alright idea, but really, with the varied way to achieve a bonus on this map already, it might not be needed.

If sea routes were a bonus, do you think that would negate the impact of them being a way to move across the board?

I don't know, if it's just a small bonus it might work. But you're also right, I'm not sure if it's needed.

This one should be in the Main Foundry!

[natty dread]

Thanks!

[Oneyed]

natty, do you realy want to have sea route as bonus? I agree with opinion that it is not needed.

congrat to stamp

Personally I don't think you need a sea route bonus, but if you felt so inclined a +1 might be enough. It's not really needed though and would prob just end up mucking up the legend area anyway.

Thanks.

One of the best maps never made was oaktown's attempt at a Mayan/Inca map. Sigh.
