Some of you might remember my previous posts about the North and Central America, South America and World maps. I've now bundled all three of my continental maps into a single mod and submitted it to mod.io (currently pending approval)
The mod includes:
North and Central America: four biomes (polar, temperate, desertic, tropical), with special landmarks like buildable zones in Yucatan and Cuba.
South America: the main South American rivers (including the Amazon), four biomes, and access to the Pacific through Chile.
A full world map using a sinusoidal projection to preserve continent areas, with biomes as faithful to reality as the engine allows. Designed for epic, resource-rich battles.
All maps are also available on GitHub if you want to take a look at the files or contribute:

I'll update this thread once the mod is live on mod.io. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome — hope you enjoy them!
P.s.
For further details the thread for each project can be found on this forum.
On those threads there were some suggestion, I will implement it!
I want to remake better all these maps and to expand to all continents, so I will appreciate your help

I don't have much to add to what @Stan` and @ShadowOfHassen said.
I do try to keep up with hot topics people are talking about here, but I can't always read everything.
@seregadushka Since this is an open source project, the best/fastest way to get an idea into the game is by implementing it yourself. When people suggested for you to do it in a mod, it wasn't meant maliciously. It is not uncommon around here for people to test their ideas in a mod first and then to get them into the base game eventually. If you don't want take that path, however, that is completely fine; contributing directly from the start is also possible. See:

Keep in mind, though, that in any case, consensus has to be reached for a patch to be accepted and merged.
I just heard about this from popular mechanics. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/archaeology/a70698814/archeologists-uncovered-evidence-of-a-2000-year-old-machine-gunand-the-damage-it-did/ would be a cool thing to have in the game if it is real.
