Huge Classical Ancient Mediterranean

634 provinces : 525 land and 109 sea (hidden map)
First map made by Vesporium
Work In Progress

This map is based on classical antiquity (especially from the VIIIth century BC/BCE to Ist century AD/CE) nations, provinces names and lore, including archaic period, classical period, hellenistic period, and roman republic period.

This is a non-wraparoundable map (a flat map), from Britannia, Gaul, Hispania and Ancient Mauretania on west to Indus, Himalayas and Transoxiana on east, and from Rhein, Dacia and Dniepro on north to modern Sudan, Erythrea and Arabia in south, without Sahara.

I made this map in the aim to have a lot of Dominions' nations in their corresponding historical context of classical antiquity, I hope you will enjoy it.
Here you can recreate, in Dominions 6, adventures like Odyssey journey, discovers of ancient's mythological and mythical places like Hyperborea, as epic campaigns of Darius, Alexander, Punic Wars, Caius Iulius Caesar's Gauls War, as entirely reforming many empires : Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Achaemenid, Carthaginian, Hellenistic, and Roman Republic's empire.

I myself place the locations of each throne on this map as sites, which means that if you want to avoid duplicates, you should set “0 thrones” (thrones placed as sites always appear).
Now I've placed 42 thrones : 17 level 1, 18 level 2 and 7 level 3, so a total of 74 ascent points. Some thrones will be added later.
However, independent defender units have not yet been made, so thrones are not yet especially harder to guard than any other independent province.

This map is designed for the 30-31 following nations (especially EA) : (*= mod nation)
