Huge Ice Age (LGM) - Tactical World View

Description
Ice Age Earth Map – Last Glacial Maximum
A custom Earth map set ~20,000 years ago, when global sea levels were about 130 meters lower than today. The projection is rotated on a polar axis between the Atlantic and Pacific, giving you a fresh perspective on the world during the Ice Age.

-Natural land bridges connect continents, opening up migration routes that no longer exist.

-Periglacial lakes shape much of Siberia and northern Europe.

-Dryer climates dominate the tropics, with scattered forests replacing dense jungles.

-Ice shields are represented as Arctic rocky fields to limit food production and simulate inhospitable glacial terrain. (Not perfect, but closer to the feeling of wasteland without breaking aesthetics.)

The projection was built in QGIS, with water levels lowered by 130m and adjustments based my previous earth map: "Huge Earth Map - Tactical World View" https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3528735897 .
If you spot inconsistencies, feel free to share comments with references and suggestions how to correct it in Humankind — I’d like to improve accuracy in future updates.

Your journey begins in Japan, the ideal place to explore this unique projection and expand into newly revealed territories of the Ice Age world. And if you never played New Zealand civic than really try it! It's worth it!
