Azimuthal Earth with TSL 122x100

Azimuthal Earth with TSL 122x100

Azimuthal Equal-Area Earth（AEAE）

Here I might present a new real earth for Civ 6.

It always annoys me that there is so much unused space in the northern part of the world map, mostly because the projection distorts it. This one doesn't twist around the pole and has direct connections from Europe to Asia and the US just like they do in real life.

The Southern Hemisphere is squashed this way (although no area is lost), but we only have Brazil and Jingo to the south.

Its functions are as follows:

122x100 map size (including custom map size types)

Since most civilizations are in the Northern Hemisphere, the equal-area azimuthal projection of the Earth is centered on the North Pole

The true starting location of all civilizations except Poland

10 city-states in all games, randomly selected, most using TSL, except for a few Europeans (see below)

All natural wonders except Galapagos

10 prophets

It is still an alpha and bugs may occur.

Instructions: Extract the .rar into your mods folder and activate the mod ingame. Create a new game, go to Advanced and select AzimuthalEarth-Ruleset. Map size and type will be grayed out accordingly.

Important/known issues:

There is only one Greek spawn, so if you choose two, one will be randomly placed.

[Some AI will move away from their starting points (English, Greek, Norse, Aztecs) - fix not known yet]...most should be fixed by now.

I cut off most of Oceania because it requires a lot of ocean and adds little value to the gameplay. So I moved the Great Barrier Reef closer to Jakarta and Milford Sound to Norway.

I had to move the cliffs of Dover to Ireland because it couldn't be near the river (Themse)

Galapagos missing as resettlement bugged

Europe doesn't "scale up" or some nonsense, so it gets very crowded (like in real life). This is a design not a problem.

The starting location was unanimously chosen to be the country's modern capital, in order to tidy up some areas and spread civilization out. Details:(

Civilization [ingame Capital]->Real city name location)

Norway (Nidaros) -> Oslo

Germany (Aachen) -> Berlin

Russia (St. Petersburg) -> Moscow

Egypt (Ra-Kedet aka Alexandria) -> Kairo/Sues (canal cities)

Arabia (Kairo) -> Riad

Sumeria (Uruk) -> Bagdad

Skythia（Pokrovka） - >

Astana, Japan (Kyoto) ->

Tokyo, China (Xi'an) -> Beijing

Brazil (Rio) -> Brasilia

Kongo M'Banza Kongo -> Brazzaville/Kinshasa

Greece (Athens/Sparta) -> Istanbul/Constantinople (it is not the capital of Greece,

Some city-states from Europe changed their locations since they had no space in Europe, and balanced the map slightly:

Amsterdam -> Bangkok

Brussels -> Johannesburg

Genf - >

Kiddoris -> Galway (Ireland)

Valletta -> In the Azores

Preslaw -> Anchorage

Stockholm -> Chelyabinsk

The rest of the CS are on their TSL.

Azimuthal Equal-Area Earth (AEAE)

It always annoyed me that there is so much unused space in the North of the world maps, mainly because the projections distort it. This one isn't distorted around the pole and the direct connections from europe to asia and america are as they are in real life.

The southern hemisphere is squished flatter (although not losing area) this way, but we only have Brasil and Kongo in the south.

It's features are as follows:

122x100 Map Size (Including the Size-Type for custom maps)

Equal-Area Azimuthal projection of the Earth centered around the North Pole, since most civs are on the northern hemisphere

True Start Locations for all Civs except Poland

10 City States in all games, randomly chosen, most with TSL except some european (see below)

All natural wonders except Galapagos

10 Prophets

It is still an alpha and bugs might happen.

How to use: Extract the.rar into your mods folder, activate the mod ingame. create new game, go advanced and select the AzimuthalEarth-Ruleset. Map Size and Type will grey out accordingly.
