Planet Draenor

Explore and conquer Draenor, home planet of the orcs and ogres from the Warcraft universe.

Shaping the landmass was confusing as the zone maps are different from the world map that's currently available (Gorgrond zone map and on the world map is completely different). Maybe I have to wait until WoD release to get it correct. Some of the zones I went with the ZONE MAPS instead of the world map as the zone maps seems to be more accurate and is least subject to change before release. So world view of my map and Blizzard's map may differ slightly.

Anyway I tried to place hills and mountains correctly and grassland/plains, altough some trees were added here and there to fill in. Trees are lacking in WoW compared to a normal Civ 5 map. Some luxuries need trees.

The ogre homeland to the southwest have no information on it, so I made mountains and hills all over, jungle to the east and tundra to the west as Draenor seems to be tilted. (The way the Draenor map looks, it seems like there is way more landmass on that planet than revealed.)

As for the smaller islands to the northeast and southwest they look grey and lifeless, but that might just be a fog of war effect. I think the island to the northeast is the Plains of Farahlon, home of the Laughing Skull clan, which is described with open plains, steppes and green vibrant hills. Their current look is highly speculative.

*Natural Wonders and forts placed to represent landmarks in the real Draenor world made by Blizzard.
*Draenor got some huge ass rivers, so I decided to make these rivers with large lakes and civ5-rivers instead of coast from the ocean and in.
*Terrain can seem alittle unatural some places but I chose to follow Blizzard's Draenor, which is a fantasy world.

I've scattered half of the basic resources like Wheat, Banana, Cattle, Sheep and Deer. The other half of basic-, all strategic- and all luxury resources are randomized every time you start a new game.
The map is in huge format so the game will recommend 12 players and 24 city states. I myself recommend 10 players or 20 city states instead as Draenor got a lot of water on it.

Enjoy and please take the time to come with suggestions if you have any.
