Notes: My third Bryce 3 tileset. Look what a little practice can do!
Starting positions are all around the Lusch rim with the corners being the first
4 starting positions. Added the urban tileset to make Ashlantis seem more advanced
and worth the time for an archeological dig. Tried to blend it in with my tileset
in a way that makes it look like something of a wall or at least a sharp incline.
The urban-lusch tile pieces were cut out of my earlier map Spoiled Eden. I liked 
how they turned out and knew they would never really get used in that map so I
had plans on using them again and here is the result. Enjoy!

Additional Notes:
Completely redid the original tileset from my earlier map Ashlantis. This
one looks much better now. 10 points to whoever can identify the symbol
that I made the volcano crater out of! :-)

Core intelligence has found evidence of a lost city partially buried under the
ash and lava of a nearly extinct volcano. Set on an island in a tropical paradise
this city could only be the remains of the fabled Ashlantis. Old manuscripts
tell of a thriving city with technological wonders that was destroyed by a volcanic
eruption eons ago. Early reports say that part of the city survived the destruction
by a creatively placed wall to hold back the lava and debris of the explosion.
The wall apparently held but the resulting devastation of hot ash and toxic gases
left this once powerful city in ruins and forced the inhabitants to flee. 
Surprisingly some very sturdy buildings survived the expolosion of the volcano
and lay buried under tons of ash.
  It is core commanders duty to excavate this island and learn it mysteries before
the arm commander. But be warned. Even though the first explosion blew the top of
the volcano off don't think it will stop there. This volcano is still active and
could blow at any time.
