Velutaria V1.5

Custom 8 player (Or less) Diplomacy map

!!THIS MAP WILL NOT WORK WITH AI!!

This map is an AoE2 version of a custom country I created. There are a couple rivers for strategic flavor (I couldn't add them all), as well as mountains and an island. Beyond the mountains to the west is a savage, untamed land.

Settings:
- 2-8 Players
- All civilizations are OK to use (Including expansions).
- Play on Explored if you want (recommended), or explore this 'new world' with Unexplored (if you want to bump into one another).
- Standard Victory (relic and wonder victory allowed).

Notes:
- Everyone starts to the East. GO LEFT!!
- Everyone should have enough resources to make it a "standard" start after they build their TC (besides pop space).
- Population is automatically set to 300 for all players.
- When you first land there will not be much room. This is intentional.
- The Western part of the map has more hostile animals, but has more space in return.
- Everyone has Allied Victory already enabled.

This is Version 1.5 (November 10th, 2019)! I have tested this with my friends with 4-6 players each time. I may make further adjustments and remove or add things depending on feedback! Please give me criticism or improvements you have in the comments, that is greatly appreciated!

Patch notes:

1.0: Removed some fish in attempt to decrease lag. Replaced deer with zebra. Replaced boar with elephant.
1.1: Added shallows between Velutaria and Vythe. Added more fruit bushes to "starting locations".
1.2: Added mangrove forests on Vythe.
1.3: Tweaked elevation around the map. Adjusted forests.
1.4: Added more gold deposits. (1 or 2 per pile).
1.5: Adjusted number of stone players started with (400 -> 300). Adjusted rivers. Tweaked amount of fish/added more box turtles. Fixed Vythen Cliffs. Fixed shallows that led nowhere across rivers. Removed 2 relics to a total of 5. Removed shallows between Vythe and Velutaria

Ideas for 1.6:
- May change amount of stone and gold on map.
- May Adjust forests to allow more land to build on.
- May widen or narrow rivers.
