Caesar would like to expand Roman empire in Espania region. He would like you to build a city near Balearic Sea. Stuck between Balearic Sea & Apls Mountain ranges, there is very little coastal area available for new city, but it is very important strategic sight for Roman empire as it falls near trade route to Rome. Build a city & protect trade route.
I don’t have to remind you how important that trade route is for the empire. There is constant threat of Egyptians in that region. Also don’t underestimate native ppl there. However, if you build good relationship with them, they could provide good opportunities for trading.
Just a reminder. If you disable aqueducts in the map editor, fountains and reservoirs are also disabled by default in the resulting map.

Hey AugustusBoy, ill play this map soon. If you stipulate not using aquaducts as an additional challenge some will stick to it. It relies on player honor ofc.

Everything works, can be beaten with the additional challenge of no aquaducts.
Balance: 5
Well balanced in terms of available trade, even with the natives did not feel too fast due to timescale being quite fast. All invasions were gone after 20 years. The attacks are not largest which is good, i made it harder for myself by having bugged version where units wont shoot at enemies if they stand on fort grounds. All attacks were beaten but suffered some peace loss causing peace to be the last rating to be achieved. 90 culture is not something i enjoy but its doable, ended with more than required pop to fuel the excess culture though 5.5k pop.
Food is surplus to requirement, many great wharf spots that are not even necessary but you have options thanks to it and some shoreline is prime real estate.
Some of the earlies requests were mismanaged a bit so were just annoying but its small issue.
Creativity: 5
Enemy type is unique and the lack of entertainment means you cant abuse patricians tax easily.
Map Design: 5
Good idea on the no aquaducts. Map is varied and each area is good for something. At the end there is little space left on the map which is good, well tailored for what needs to be done.
Additional Comments:
Good map to play when you want to challenge yourself but dont like insane military difficulty.

Economy and military are just at right balanced. Logistic is not an issue since map is small. There is a bit of space challenge but nothing crazy.
