Cretaceous Map

One hundred million years ago, the first Tyrannosaur opened its eyes and gazed out at a world it intended to rule. First, however, it would have to deal with its competition... Welcome to the Middle Cretaceous! Earth's geography is recognizable, but only barely: the Alps, Himalayas, and Rockies are all nonexistent; shallow seas cover and divide much of North America and Eurasia; Antarctica, still connected to Australia, is a lush paradise instead of an uninhabitable wasteland; and India is separated from the rest of Asia by the world's second largest ocean, the now-forgotten Tethys. Tactically, this map forces you to choose between offense and defense. Will you station your armies on your borders in order to harass enemies and keep constant control of your continents, or will you keep them at the center where they can respond to attacks from any direction? Will you go out on a limb to control multiple continents, or will you defend one heavily while taking extra countries where you can? Will you guard valuable chokepoints, or leave them for other powers to fight over? Fighting too many wars simultaneously can only destroy you, but passivity can leave you unprepared to face an emerging dominant power. Good luck! mapLAB update: Added a starting scenario.
