Mallus: The Old World (Simplified)

Description
provinces: 166 land and 0 sea

Mallus: The Old World (Simplified)

The base map was purchased from HamsterAndAnvil, and was heavily modified to be more suitable for a Dominions map.

Designed to be compatible with the Sombre Warhammer mod.

The Advanced map is extremely large, and thus it's recommended to play with a high number of AI or players.

The Simplified map is designed to be more robust and balanced with fewer factions.

Mortal Empires is designed to focus entirely on The Empire and a few surrounding areas. It includes the Empire mainland, the Elvish island of Ulthuan, the Dwarvish Karak mountains, and the Tomb King deserts. It includes a limited number of Sea regions.

Of all the maps in my Mallus package, Mortal Empires is the most balanced and Dominions-esque. If it is your first time playing on any of these maps, it's highly recommended you start there.

Advanced and Simplified are not lore accurate. Some consessions were necessary to accomodate gameplay. The WH mod mostly has nations that start within The Empire, which makes relatively poor gameplay, so some were forced to the west. These issues are mitigated in Mortal Empires, however that leaves The Empire very congested.

This map uses assigned starting positions for the Warhammer races, but uses default placing logic for base game races.

ALL resources used to make these maps are located in the mod folder, including the .xcf files which can be opened using GIMP 2.1. This allows you to easily modify any aspect of this map. However if you publish your changes to the workshop, please take care to differentiate it from my versions and consider crediting me with the original work.

If you enjoy the map, please be sure to give it a rating to help spread its popularity.

I like the world and the lore, but the simplified map you really want a low number of nations (as mentioned in the mod description), or very familiar with the world to understand which nations will start where.
Probably needs a few more mountain passes/bridges for example the dwarf start location has 10 connections but every one of them requires mountain survival, buying into cold scales makes it almost impossible for most nations to siege your cap.
Khorne felt trapped until they could push dominion to freeze the rivers.
Wood Elves felt trapped and restricted to fighting either Dark Elves or Slaan.
I think there really needs to be a cave layer to give alternative access to islands.
But in saying that, all credit to Author. Was fun to play around, but I think I'll stick to Mortal Empires. :steamthumbsup:

@marauderB I use GIMP 2.1 which is basically open source/free Photoshop
