Description

A map of the Middle East, expanded to include Libya and the Caucasus, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte.

v1.2: Added oil bonuses that are set to zero by default; they can be changed for diplo games. Each bonus's name starts with OIL and contains a suggested value in parentheses if the value is not 1.

v1.4: Belatedly noticed that the bonus values for Cyprus and South Cyprus were flipped, and fixed them.

Thanks to Murk, joeydavis761, and Nikitan for help with testing. Thanks to ɠanyɱedes and dorex time for pointing out improvements.

A note on superbonuses: They have been fine-tuned so that together with the bonuses within them the player ends up getting a 0.7-0.75 armies to territories income ratio.

Review by King of noobs IV. on 1/20/2021.
Awesome. Bad connections: South Sinai-Arava works only in direction and Kufra-Tobruk shouldn t be there.
Edit: Checked South Sinai again and it works. I was mistaken by minimap and big map crossing.

Thanks for spotting Kufra-Tobruk, I'll fix it in the next version. I don't understand what you mean about South Sinai-Arava, though. Could you elaborate by editing the comment or PM me with a more detailed description of the problem?
Edit: Thanks for checking again!

I like the map, but the game is just not working for me. Turn 4 and no reinforcements? I don't feel I have much of a chance. Good luck with it, though.

Some of the bonuses didn't make sense and the scaling was weird. Claiming Israel is difficult and placement is weird.

This comment made me realize that I should add a note on how superbonuses work, like I did in my Greece Big map. They have been fine-tuned so that together with the bonuses within them the player ends up getting a 0.7-0.75 armies to territories income ratio. That's why countries that already give a lot of armies compared to their number of territories may have smaller superbonus incomes than other countries with different bonus distributions.
