New Map (Chalice of Ilmatar) 89 land+12 sea, cave-rich Thread - Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension

Greets,
Finished my second experiment with map creation for Dominions 4.
"Chalice of Ilmatar:
Once, while swimming in the eternal sea, Ilmatar threw her chalice on the air. For a moment, before it fell back to the sea, it became a small world. Suitable for 6 players, which one can be water nation. Cave network connects all parts of the world."

This time tried rather different look form the first attempt
(Gaias whispers Indiedb.com )

The map should be found here:

As last time, the image without provinces/borders is available if some one feels like experimenting with it:

89+12 provinces, no wrap-around.
This one draws some inspiration form Valanis map.
The cave-network here however goes under the surface, and cave-entrances are scattered around it.
As there are rather lot of caves, it might give quite a lot advantage for cave-dwellers.

Beautiful. Thanks.

Thanks, LeTwan, much appreciated, especially from such active map-maker

Nice map. I wonder when all water fall off.

Thanks for the comment. Heh, well it should last long enough that a new Pancreator is found

I liked your earlier map better, but this is a nice map too.
Bears the semblance of a giant molar - Ymir must have had a bad day at the dentist's office.

Are there any nostart provinces? While I like asymmetrical maps, starting in a swamp or surrounded by wastelands is no fun.

_noblesse_oblige: Thanks. This is rather different to the first one, which I tried to make rather generic. Here wanted to try something rather different. Now when you mention, it does look quite like a teeth too. Well when that much thing starts to grow in one, maybe it's time to remove it

HerdyGerdy: Yes, I tried to check through and mark as no-start most which have only few neighbors/only have desert neighbors.
