I think the addition of the dots makes a big difference...

So lets see the small map with army coordinates (and link to regular)

The large map with army coordinates (and link to regular)

Along with a link to the XML.

Here is the xml

Here is the report from the XML checker

Test results:

Warning: Country Aegean Sea does not appear in any continent

Warning: Country Mediterranean Sea does not appear in any continent

Warning: Country Caspian Sea does not appear in any continent

Summary: 3 warnings and 0 errors detected

Note that those warnings are what they are supposed to be. The seas aren't supposed to appear on any continent.

How comes Phrygia has connection to Middeterenian????

by **OnlyAmbrose** on Sun Oct 22, 2006 10:59 pm

I'm playing a game with it right now, and I have to say it's incredibly fun. The mountain ranges are placed perfectly, and the seas really do add a nice element of strategy to the game.

Well done mate. I love it.

by **Mr. K** on Mon Oct 23, 2006 12:41 am

It plays fantastic.

by **Fireside Poet** on Mon Oct 23, 2006 5:55 am

I've completed 4 realtime games on it and no complaints (I won 3). Very nice addition to the map arsenal. =D>

My appologies Mr. K, apparently i owned West Capadocia; sorry, new map.

Great map by the way, very balanced....

I wouldnt mention it, I thought someone would do it, but...

Well, Bizantium is written Byzanitium in the map, both small and large.

by **Gilligan** on Fri Apr 20, 2007 7:43 am

Is the author of this map still around?

Where does everyone get this BIZANTIUM word spelt with an I from.
Are we too lazy to move our fingers to the Y on the keyboard? :wink:

And of course darkmagus is correct according to Wikipedia.

Byzantium is the latinization of Byzantion - the original Greek word.

Well researched!

by **xsnlrocks21x** on Sat May 05, 2007 5:26 pm

Is anyone else confused as to why Lydia doesn't connect with Thrace?
Byzanitium is connect to Thrace, even though there is a little bit of water in between the country, so what isn't Lydia connected, seeing as there is a little but of yellow land connected to Thrace?
lol, i'm always trying to attack from one to the other, gaah!
