During the peak of the Spanish Empire towards the end of the XVI century, Spain had territories and colonies all throughout the world: On most of America (from Canada to Argentina), northwestern and western African coasts, Benelux region in Europe, parts of France and Italy, the East Indies and all the Portuguese colonies (Brazil, east African coasts and southern Asian coasts) as a result of the Iberian Union.

This map is to be played by 4 teams.
Team A (America): OS + JS
Team B (Africa and Southeast Asia): YC + BD
Team C (Antarctica): GS ---> change to penguins
Team D (Spain): AR

The order of play is:
A-B-C-B-A-D
or
OS-YC-GS-BD-JS-AR
or
N. America - Asia - Antarctica - Africa - S. America - Spain

***Feel free to use and modify this map. This version of the World adjusts to the current standards of map upload size limit.

Lol the falklands as reefs

also how did you make a map bigger than 36 tiles? is it a right admins give you or what

rotpilz, back in the day, there was no map editor. there was a text editor. and then you uploaded the txt onto the site and it
magically became a map. see: 'Export as Text' and 'Upload Map'

Using this, you can make a bigger map than standard size allows. But the reason the standard max is 36x36 is because
the map editor get screwy past this point, Units and also the Map itself has trouble being saved.

Even using Txt files there is a maximum size not allowed, I'm not sure what it is exactly but it prevented my 60x60 map from
being uploaded. There exist maps that go beyond this limit, but I assume they were made before the hard limit was put in
place.

Antarctica is not Cobalt Ice. 0/10

This map has some balancing issues. The fact that Acid Rain doesn't start with pre owned
bases on 2/3 fronts just means that each colony base gets absolutely crushed by the combined
might of 4 bases from each opposing team. From there, each pair can dominate their respective
continents and has enough funding to destroy either Acid Rain or Cobalt Ice.

Acid should get at least 3 bases in Europe to represent that it is supposed to be the dominant
empire on this map. Furthermore, it needs more defensible territory and a less exposed HQ
(perhaps move it inland and put a lander on it). All of the teams should not have starting infantry
or pre owned cities, while AR should have pre owned bases in its colonies at the very least.

As it stands it just seems like a protracted 2 vs 2
with two random guys smashed in between.
