——————————————————————————————————————————-

The original Civ 6 package comes with a map of East Asia, which is limited in size and lacks detail. As a person super into geography, I created a larger map of Northeast Asia. It includes eastern and central China, southern Mongolia, the entire Korea and Japan, as well as the north margin of Indochina. You can add this map to your game by subscribing at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1803869779
This map reflects many fine geographical features of the region, because I made this map with reference to several maps such as Google Map, topological maps, maps of drainage systems, temperature, and precipitation, as well as famous mountain passes and well-known wars fought in history. Forgive me for some small deviations in latitude as I took playability into account as well.
TAKE NOTE: In order to imitate reality, I removed a few restrictions in the way resources relate to terrain, e.g. I allowed salt to occur on grassland and cow to occur on plains. This change will apply to any other random map game you play as long as you enable this Northeast Asia Map mod. To prevent this change from affecting resource generation in other maps, you can disable this mod under the option "Additional Content" in Civ 6’s main menu.

TSL and NON-TSL:
There are two play modes that correspond to two maps: Northeast Asia (TSL) and Northeast Asia (Random). The Random map produces the starting locations of every civilization randomly. The TSL map has the following TSL,
China – Xianyang, China (Qin Shihuang’s real capital. 33km/20mi or one tile away from our beloved Xi’an)
Japan – Kyoto, Japan (you surely know it well)
Korea – Kaesong, North Korea (capital of Goryeo Kingdom, now on the north-south border)
Russia – Vladivostok, Russia (Russia’s largest port on Pacific Ocean)
Mongolia – Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, China (where grandson of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, inherits the throne)
Scythia – the Altai Mountain (border between China, Mongolia, Russia, and Kazakhstan)
India – north of Mandalay, Myanmar
Khmer – west of Hanoi, Vietnam
Indonesia – Nagasaki, Japan (Gandhi wants to know your location)
Maori – East China Sea
while the remaining civs start in any of the following places:
Luoyang, Handan, Taiyuan, Beijing, Siping, Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhangye, Wuchang, Shaoyang, Nanchang, Guangzhou/Canton, Taipei, Nanjing, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao/Tsingtao, Xuzhou, Lanzhou, Kunming, Guiyang, Karakorum/Qaraqorum, Nanning, Tokyo, Liao’s Shangjing.

RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATIONS:

Speed of Game: marathon or epic (the slower the speed, the more likely you can conquer the entire oriental world)
