Here's a "Pre-Preview" of my first major scenario. I just started working on it yesterday, but I decided to post it in case anyone has ideas or comments. 
It's another space game, but instead of each tile representing a planet, the terrain represents the planets and water represents space and atmosphere. (I know it's been done and doesn't seem to be too popular, but maybe this scenario will change that
)
Here's a picture of earth: I'm using marsh to represent ocean, but since there's no way to make boats travel only on marshes (without other units to be able to) I won't be able to include them.
So instead I've connected the continents with railroads, kinda like in Risk. I highlighted the connections in the picture.
(Don't mind the sloppy looking graphics, I'm still working on that. Also for gameplay reasons, the moon has an atomosphere. 
)
The huge map will include the Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus, and maybe Mercury.
The scenario will start either during the cold war or some time in the future.
I haven't decided much about the gameplay yet (units, victory, etc.), but it's going to start out as a race to the moon, then to the other planets. I think I'm going to do is set up a wonder victory and each wonder requires a resource found on another planet.
Any comments, suggestions, and ideas (civs, starting time period) are welcome.

D) is with Africa. With the map as it is now, the Africans would have to take land in order to get into space. I'll have to find a way around that. Maybe I'll extend Africa a little farther south like I did with South America.
