I modify the marmara Map to make it more lorefriendly and I divided the Europa side and Asian side with the sea.
I set the age during the late VI bc, when Bizantium, Kios and Ilum were one of the powerful cities of the ionian koine.
I put also a Gaia Neapolis with a lot of gaia hoplite and soldier, a ionic Gaia pirate settlement in the east and a Thracian Gaia settlments in the north west.
For a proper roleplay I suggest the use of Athenian/Spartan to play the archaic greek, without the use of rams and siege weapon, theaters, and Athenanian/Spartan Trireme TierIII ship (there werent during the VI bc), and to play Persian I suggest to play without the Elepant. I play also with a mod Terramagna 26, and I use the scythian to play the Cimmerian invasion of Asia minor.
For play the map put the files in skirmishes. I hope some one will like it and play with me with this custom map!
Cheers!
