Ancient Arab Empire Map

Post by Teflon Kris »

Seeing as we have lots of old empires, why not the Arab Empire circa 750 AD?

If only I had a clue how to make it myself! :?

Good idea, but there would be a lot of dead areas as the empire went from spain to iran, which is a really far span to cover.

It would take me a long time to learn to do maps, I'm happy to help if anyone else is interested though.

The 'dead areas at the top of the map and bottom left could be used for bonus boxes, insets etc. Or maybe the Sahara couldbe another territory? In fact, the map could extend into areas the Empire didn't quite reach?

Gameplay-wise, extra bonus for holding key settlements?
