This map really gives great flavor to the underwater factions, the sea is a great bowl to isolate land factions into just fighting their two bordering factions, but is not impassable. Even for priamrily land cultures that start on the middle island (sardina) ive seen the AI do a decent job sailing armies acrosss the water to assult coasts.
The best part is the big interconected ocean though. Vannila maps rarely have a body of water this big and it really allows for a game with more than one under water faction to actually be viable. I love the roleplay potential for aquatic politics, especially with EA factions

I would consider adding a regular move through the alps, making them a choke point rather than a brick wall if they become taken by a cold 3 pretender.

I believe mountain survival allows you to cross cold mountains. It takes some preparation but you can summon and gear things for this so it shouldn't be too bad. Also try building temples along the mountains. As for the island stuff I am planning on making a couple sea connections over the map.

Yea if the comp starts you off in the middle island your kinda screwed as a land nation,
also if using a cold domain it make the Alps inaccesible to land troops perpetualy, which makes nations like Caleum kinda broken because they can just freeze the alps and just fly over them to attack the other side, kinda screws nations without easy access to flying troops.

those board game rules take a lot away from the map :(

nice one, will use it alot

Thank you Anwyl.

I really wish there were more maps like this -- based off real world geography!

Amazing.. Is it possible you would consider doing one on ancient greece? (Something like the map from Zeus: Master of Olympus)

this looks amazing. thanks!
