The Niger Delta looks extremely similar to Dhaka, but less whales.

Looks like there are several maps with lakes containing fish but no water flag. How do you think that will play out? Will they be used or mostly ignored in favor of land only?

If i remember correctly, 11 new maps in qs. Manchuria is deleted and african maps are added in except atlas, horn, niger river and tripolitania.
And new maps would have double chance to be selected.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

because it seems to be an impossible task for them to have 2 trading posts spawn in that map.

Some of these maps look a bit too interesting but fun nonetheless. Gold Coast is Dhaka without whales, but it has a water TP route that essentially replaces whales in that regard and which cannot be contested by the land player. Moreover, the land player will not have a land tp to his disposal for his economy or for trade monopoly. Broken? Time will tell. Quicksearch is going to be a versatile experience if ziper's take is correct.

Playing japs or sweden literally 90% of the time. Now if I predict correct, atleast one of the african civs is going to be broken AF which could make it 3 civs. Interesting times, indeed.
