Realistic World Map v1 (255x255)

SUMMARY:
This scenario is a geographically and bathymetrically accurate world map template, based on an equirectangular projection of the earth. The scenario design is derived from NASA's composite satellite Earth imagery.

The map was created by mapping a simplified 32 color representation of the world to roughly 32 AoE2HD terrains. Additionally, I performed various touch-ups for gameplay purposes (i.e. canals). Note that the 255x255 map size is the largest possible AoE2HD map (larger even than Giant maps) size. Finally, as this is a template, no elevation, rivers, trees, resources or players have been added either- that part is up to you!

GAME VERSION:
This scenario works with both AoE2HD and AoF.

INSTALLATION:
To install, click the "Subscribe" button. Then start the game, but do NOT click and bypass the developer introduction videos (Microsoft Game Studios, Ensemble Studios, Hidden Path Entertainment, and Skybox Labs). It is during these videos that the scenario is installed. Once you get to the main menu, exit the game and relaunch- you can skip the videos this time. The scenario should now be installed.

NOTES:
You are free to use this map as a template for your own world maps- I only ask that you credit me appropriately as the World Map Template Designer, as well as all listed in the credits section below.

CREDITS:
The map was made possible by satellite images provided by NASA.
The map was generated in-part by using AOHH and AzZzRu's PHP SCX Editor.
