Map Name: Manicouagan V2

Tileset Type: Green/Green Completion

Size: 50 x 50

Players: 2-10

AI: profile set to default

Notes: My first attempt at recreating a real place using Annihilator. Manicouagan is a large 60km. wide impact crater site in Quebec, Canada. Now partially filled with water, it is quite striking in appearance and one of the few impact structures easily visible from low earth orbit.

I've used Chinahook's Green Completion tileset to build this. Each start position gets a small metal outcropping to build on, and then you must expand to get more metal. The central island area is mostly flat with the exception of a central raised mountain. Tamec2004 is required due to some of the foliage, invible metal patches on metal, and C_A_P's green metal patches.

It was a tougher job than I figured to make something like this... it's hard to recreate real geography with a map-making tool. In the end, it's imperfect (metal outcroppings???), and was changed to gameplay reasons from what reality would dictate.

Update: Version 2 fixes overlapping metal output feature problem so that metal output is uniform in metal areas. Fixes missing metal output features at one fort.

Enjoy.
