Here is a new map/scenario for you all to try out. Please send comments, suggestions.

Earth Post Apocalyptic v0.1

Humanity has blasted itself into the stone age. Rebuild
Civilization while dodging Barbarian mutants. Survivors
will be helpful in giving out lost technologies and you
may find remanants of old cities. Protect yourself from
the Mutant hords with the lone rifle passed down from your
ancestors.

Version 0.1


Features:
A Earth-like map full of pollution from WW3.
Extra goodie-huts to represent the remanants of society.
Tons of high-strength Barbarians for that "Mad Max" feel.
Start with a Musketeer instead of a worker to fight off the hoards.

i just think personaly that it might be better done on a whole new map not earth... the earth map in there has too many resorces also you might want to cut them back alot, all in all i love the idea of the atomic wasteland and some infrastructure to fight over early in the game (ie control over a long road or railroad). and being forced to fight off hoards of invaders while having to clean pollution to be able to expand... all in all a really good concept. id just like to see a better map maybe.

Great idea for a mod with custom civilizations.
It could be a very great mod.

And I love this idea too.

wwhat we have here, is potential.

1. a better earth map is needed

2. Pollution should be mostly around the nerve centers of Russia and the US (i'm thinking this happened in Cold war days). There should also be pollution elsewhere but concentrated around NY etc.

3. Custom Civs

4. The Barbarians. i can deal with the cavalry and even the tanks(although maybe a bit excessive i'm not too keen on the barbarians being a whole age or 2 ahead of the rest but i can live with it) I'm pretty sure though that giving them battleships is just plain wrong.

good job so far :goodjob:

I think it's an original idea!

another thing that could be added: a unit who only decontaminated the nuclear areas.

That's a good idea. Only problem is that unless all the worker functions are checked off, the worker AI box won't reveal. Thus, the computer wouldn't know how to use this unit properly. This would give the player an advantage over the AI unless the AI had some other way of clearing away pollution.
