King of myself
Welcome to the Xmas edition of the Lonely Hearts Club for BTS. In the Lonely Hearts Club we explore strategies to cope with one of the most dreaded situations in Civ IV ( possibly the main reason for reloads after the military collapse one 
): starting in isolation....
As it is Christmas , I decided to make a more light and hopefully fun game..... put 6 Fin civs all isolated and see what happens. This will give time to more games ( I think that the tech pace will be pretty high... in my test game it was ) and more light ones.
So I introduce you the.....
Financial smackdown
First some considerations:
I only choosed 6 civs because it was the only way of getting a all isolated map with the inbuilt scripts in game ( by some unknown reason costum continents don't work very well above 6/7 civs ) and the choice of Fin civs was very hard and used my personal standarts( so don't bug me with " Why not Pacal or wang or Victoria?" kind of questions I would really had liked to put some of the not placed civs .... )
The map is Hemispheres , 6 landmasses and tropical ( to give more grassland... temperate hemispheres gives too much desert IMHO ). Warning: The map is not balanced ( it is as it came right out of the map generator ) and some civs will have a harder time, most surely. Some civs also have a offshore islands big enough to hold a colony if you want to....
This time I'll give only one file, the WB save. To play it unzip it ( by some strange reason, both CFC attachements and uploads don't acept BtS WB saves
), double click it ( hopefully it will autolaunch BtS ( in my computer it does ) or put him in the WB saves directory ( My Documents/My Games/Beyond the Sword/Saves/Worldbuider if you have a defaut install) and load it as scenario ingame. You'll be able to pick the level, speed and leader ( p.s if you play Darius, please erase my name 
completely forgot to do that 
)
As for reports, I'll not ask you to make the checkpoints because I'm pretty sure that most of us are overloaded with Xmas things to do ( but you're free to do so ). I only ask you to tag the leader, the dificulty and the speed to your reports, just to avoid confusions.
The last words are to wish good luck to all
. And let the games begin! And BTW 
P.S We don't have any kind of problem with defeats and reruns. Just play and enjoy
