Details
I have finished a new map inspired by the empire of Alexander the Great, but with some fantasy geography. It is a wrap-around map containing 290 provinces (246 land; 44 sea). Rivers are not impassible. All provinces along rivers have potential fresh water sites, except provinces that contain waste.
Babylon and Athens contain libraries.
There are some provinces with both border mountains and plains. Some are officially "border mountain" provinces, and others are not (e.g., 174, 194 and 200).
There are a few provinces that barely touch a river. They are not fresh water provinces (e.g., 175 and 194).
Balance Notes
The map is designed for multiplayer, although it could be good for some interesting single player scenarios.
The map should be large enough for 3 water nations and 14 - 16 land nations.

Having a degree in Ancient and Medieval history (European) makes this map especially appealing for me. It is kinda a "what if" of mythological times. Only a historic scenario that had start locations for the nations would better. Sadly that would require an England, germany, and the americans (not to mention Japan.) So I know thats not possible but you could always claimed they invaded the fringes of civilization or something. Overall good map, and I love the wraparound. Also has good chokepoints and caves! I love caves.
