It was suggested I reduce the scope of the meso map I was working on, and this is my current draft (no cities/areas/volcanos yet)

(The plan is 5 players, Huastec, Zapotec, Maya, Taino, Chibcha)

I think a good 5 player map would be great. I haven't been able to come up with a 5 player combination that I'm satisfied with on the Old World map.

Looks great!

The map looks beautiful so far.

I would rotate it some more counterclockwise to include Peru. There were settlements there around 11,000 BC

If I add much more, the penninusla will have to get thinner, and I don't want to thin it more (still kind of sad that my home of two years (CR) will only get a single area or so). If people want to add more of south america (there is tons of material for Peru through the orinoco river valley), they are welcome to it.
