Looks like a combination of AoM, Feudal, Siege and that zombie map which is still floating around somewhere. :?

Don't forget Oasis!

Love the combination; it's definitely my kinda map.

Yeah, there are at least seven current CC maps referenced here.

Neutrals would be on all the territories in Fahrenheit except the rightmost eight, every territory in Aeternum except the castles, the throne room Enclave, maybe the markets in Seascape, and the nine features in Newtown. This makes 88 starting territories out of 159 total.

I know a few: Oasis, City Mogul, Feudal, and Siege! (and maybe Cairns Coast?)

I love the hybrid! I think there are still more neat gameplay features you could throw in as well.

Think you're right with Cairns Coast, I thought that too but wasn't sure.

My guess for "Seascape" would prolly be AOR, but I'm not sure...

You know what would be too cool?

If you could get all the original mapmakers of those maps to do the graphics for their part of the map...

You don't think this map is busy enough as it is?

That would be amazing and unlikely since I believe some of them have moved on and/or become too busy.


Age of Merchants, Oasis, City Mogul, Feudal, Seige, and Coral Coast are all right. Cookie goes out to whoever names the seventh.

Certainly not! It may appear daunting at first, but it really isn't. I think you could throw in a Woodboro station in each section of the map to make for easier movement between the areas.

Are you referencing epoch or whatever the name of that idea was back in the day for a bunch of maps to be made and then combined into one super map?

I think either mibi or dim proposed it ages ago.

An epoch is the geological time-span one step higher than an age. Several ages combine to make an epoch.

That actually isn't a bad idea. I think this is an amazing start with huge potential, and my one concern at the present is movement. That and what the 7th map is.

When you say feudal, do you mean both epic and war? Because that would make it 7.

My only guess is WWII Europe (i.e. combining already existing CC maps into one large map).

I'll give a hint: there's a clue in the names of the six different areas.
