If looked up some information about the Dacht-I-Navar Group.

This is a group of volcanos in current Afghanistan


http://www.volcanolive.com/dacht.html

This website says:




So this is an option.

this is a googlemap:



this is the same with our map as overlay:



So the volcano-group is in the area 'Gandhara', ascociated with the Kushan Civilization

Sounds good to me.

Ok, so:



We already found one.

Let's look for the other two, if they are reasonable.

When I use Google Earth, turning on the volcano option I see only one volcano when I zoom out.

When I looked up some info about this I found the following:





Seems clear to me, that if the floor of the area is composed of lava, it's been active for quite a time (thousands of years).



So, the location for our second East volcano is: "Danokil", ascociated with the Nubia-civilization





Should it be a problem, that Danokill does not contain a city site. It's a possible location for wilderness city though, cause it's on the edge of the map. (where the '0' Ahmar is illegal). Otherwise an earthquake will occur.

For the third Volcano I've found this:



Additional:



This one might not be the most important for eruption facts, but at least for historical facts.






Location:




I propose to set this volcano on the border like mount etna is on the border of two areas to equal this for West and East.

Also because 'Media' alone does not contain a city site.



So the third volcano is "Damavand" on the border of the areas "Media" and "Hecatompylos" Ascociated with the Parthia-civilzation.

So my proposal:

This is a map of the 6 volcano's based on the current map.



3 volcano's West and 3 volcano's East.


Mt. Danavand is partly on an area with a city site.

The other two East volcano's are not in an area with a city site.

We could either:

- take this for def.
- move all of the current east volcanos to share an area with a city site.
- look for another volcano.

If you think it should be different, please look for a reasonable possible volcano to replace these.

Looks fine to me!

We were discussing the volcanos last weekend and noticed it would be better if the volcanos at least are located on a city site. So, we moved them from the middle of an area to the shared border between two areas.

Not by moving the volcano and changing history, but by adjusting the location for the area borders on the map. In fact the volcanos did not change.

Nevertheless for the most important volcano, Erta Ale, this change could not put it on a city site. Still it's place better in two areas than one, because it raises the chance of a wilderness city build on it.

And, hey, the only reason for placing volcanos in our game, is to destroy a city by volcanic eruption. An earthquake happens anyway.




The new locations now are:

Mt. Damavand
Media / Hecatompylos
Parthia

Mt. Erta Ale
Danokil / Barbaria
Nubia

Dach-I-Navar
Gandhara / Kuhwat
Kushan

West volcanos did not change:

Mt. Vesusvius
Neapolis / Campania
Rome

Mt. Etna
Milazzo / Syracuse
Rome

Mt. Thera
Thera
Minoa


Here's a map image based on the old map. (so you cannot see the changed borders like mentioned above, but you CAN see the right locations). Also I corrected one error I made in the previous one. (vesuvius)
