Am I too fast or are you, perhaps, not aware of the links directing to Wonders of the Ancient World Deluxe? I actually might play a scenario for once, lol
Nice
Getting a real CK2 vibe here.
Into the Renaissance Deluxe Scenario Map
Starting positions and initial territories of all the 21 playable civilizations and 41 minor civilizations. Not portrayed are the Mongols, scheduled to invade from the east.

Each civilization's initial borders are kept small, and close to the starting cities. Large gaps between each civilization are there to ensure dynamic cultural expansion , to encourage the settling of new cities, and to introduce an element of unpredactibility and randomness into an otherwise rigid setting. Each civilization will have ample room to colonise, and when this runs out - warfare will become the natural method of expansion.
Some changes were made to the original scenario's map. Most notably, the British Isles were remodelled to resemble their real counterparts more than in vanilla ItR. Some other landscape changes were introduced, such as the prettification of the Mediterranean islands and the Italian peninsula, addition and modification of a few rivers, mostly in Central Europe, and the introduction of various Natural Wonders, which should further encourage exploration, colonisation and conquest.
Though it looks like Sweden and Denmark have little room to expand (like in the original scenario), would it be possible to expand the map a bit north, maybe 3-5 tiles?
Looks great!
Oh, and shouldn't the Rhône flow past Avignon?
