I'm unsure on what geographical area and historical period my map should be based on.
I started the terrain with the already made map "Greece" as a target, I'm not good in finishing a projects so I figured - lets not try to redesign everything. But as the progress on the basic terrain got more and more completed the eastern part feels lacking, its barely touched its not that, but there is barely any land to include the Persian Empire. So the question then becomes: Keep it as it is, with a small Persian Empire or Remake it?
Other possibilities are to jump a few centuries forward and have the Seleucid Kingdom, Rome, Carthage, Ptolemaic Kingdom, Hellenic League and maybe others. But I feel that the map would be too unfocused. I mean where is the main contested area in such a map? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Europe_map_220BC.PNG
Yet another option is to only focus on the Greek mainlan or Greece + Itality + Sicily and maybe Carthage.
Any ideas?
Also something to keep in mind is that the units have to be sustained with food so that might or might not be an issue depending on the map.
