Is Congo a population desert? I would have thought otherwise.
Mostly a fun map, but the periphery along the Mediterranean seems barely connected to the rest of the map & it's a long slog in the endgame marching monotonously all the way up to southern Spain.

Thank you for the feedback, about the Congo, I know right??? I would have thought otherwise too but the Congo river basin is actually super sparsely populated.
Gabon only has 2.5 million people, the RoC has 6 million (both mostly in the south) and the boundaries of the impassable bit intentionally stop short of the population centres in Kisingani and Ubangi. In total there might be ~8 million people in the region as a whole but the population density was low enough that I thought it was more interesting as an impassable territory
I considered connecting the Mediterranean through the Sahara but decided against it in the end since that kind of went against he purpose of the map to begin with. I might still do this is more people are like minded haha.
