This mapscript was originally written for Civ 4, by Firaxis (Bob Thomas). I have converted it to Colonization and renamed it to "NorthAfrica.py", since it simulates the North African coast, a brief fertile region, a massive desert (the Sahara) crossed by Nile-like rivers, and lowlands filled with jungle and marsh. There is not that much water on this map- it has a brief strip of water and vast amounts of land to settle.
A recommended strategy for this map is getting colonies on the other side of the desert and fortifying them. Once you revolt, the European forces will come after you, but will have to cross the desert. This will give you plenty of time to build up after you declare revolution. There isn't much room to fight a naval battle, however.
This script places an unusual number of tobacco and cotton because I haven't worked them into the regional resource system.
