This mod is a conversion of Rhye's earth map, with additional and adapted civs. First of all I need to say that most of the hard work was done by other modders. I'll mention them further on and provide a link to their stuff at the bottom of this post. Make sure to check out their work! I had some doubts about posting this here; I hope this can be considered a scenario.
For the G+K version look here. The post below deals with vanilla.
Current version: v7.3
Get it from the downloads database or from the mod browser.
This mod is still functional, but will no longer receive updates.

- 32 city states, including new types by Iceco,
- New or boosted traits for several vanilla civs,

Vanilla civs:

The terrain:
- Jungle -1 food.
- Removing marshes requires biology.
- Wheat is now called the more generic "cereals". Added more around the map.
- Old Faithful became Geysir, Grand Mesa now Table Mountain (to spread them out more).
- Various edits of the map, including (even) larger Europe, Korea and Japan.
Running the scenario:
- Select the map 'Earth 22' or a variant.
- Tick the 'Load Scenario' option, then select a civ. If you cannot select the civ of choice: take another, start the game and exit to the menu. Try again: now all civs are selectable.
- Have fun!
Other mods: I found the combination with the Barbarians! mod to work pretty well; check it out!
And of course it is fully compatible with Building Made Fun.
Work I used:
Spoiler :
The result are various map and leader flavor tweaks.
etc.
