Its like the classic map just more broken up into sub conts it would be a cool map if added of course someone else would have to make the xml.

This appears to be another lux map. Even worst it there isnt enought change to make it really different from classic.

Sorry bud but better luck next time

So what if it is a lux map thats besides the point it doesnt mean you cant use it here.
Its a fun map to play on lux I also think it would be a fun map to play here.

There was an infinitely better version of this being developed by Kaplowitz a while ago, but discontinued for lack of support. I doubt this project will get anywhere when that one failed.

I love how units from Civilization keep popping up in random places...

there are so many classic-map-copys on here, I don't think they need any more.

Classic
Doodle Earth
World 2.1
Extreme Global Warming
and many other ideas that failed and were abandoned

Unless you can pull off something very unique and different from the others, I doubt this will be a very popular idea.

Well actually copywrite law says it does mean we cant use it.

Well actually then why can CC Lux etc use the classic map?

cc has a classic map not made by lux

lux has a classic map not made by cc

they're both different:

We don't need any more world-based standard maps. Doodle Earth, World 2.1, and Classic itself have covered the range of the world. Anything world-based needs to be "gimmicky" in its mechanics (see Extreme Global Warming) to actually be worth making. Either that, or narrow the part of the world you're talking about (see Eastern Hemisphere).
