Welcome to the first ever (that I know of) Australian Civil War Scenario. It is my first major mod, and I now present it to you all for your enjoyment and/or frustration.
This is based on a hypothetical what-if premise.... For all those that don't know recent Aussie history, there was a referendum back in 1999 (or around there) to see if Australia should become a Republic or should stay a Constitutional Monarchy (It was a pretty contentious issue). In the event, the Monarchists won by 52% to 47%, or around that figure. At the time there was a bit of an uproar about how badly worded the referendum was, and how it was biased toward the monarchists. But everything stayed the same.
In this scenario, history has taken a slightly different course, and war has actually broken out between the two above-mentioned factions. The Republicans would not accept the results of the referendum as it was so biased, and have declared their own republic. Cities have made allegience to one side or the other. State borders no longer exist. Sydney is the captial of the Republican uprising, while Canberra remains the capital of the Monarchists. Expect a lot of confused, close-in fighting. And good luck trying to get the resources together to build those modern units.... some resources are only found in certain locations in Australia, and this scenario reflects their locations pretty accurately, (except oil, since all we have are off-shore drilling rigs in OZ). So make sure you hang onto those outback towns or you'll never get your hands on things like oil or uranium. Expect a fight and a half with masses of infantry for awhile at the start, too.
To make it even worse, the aborigines have risen up in Central Australia to claim their land back. So there are 3 civs only in this mod. It really is more of a war game than a Civ game.
At the moment it is set to play as the republicans. If you wish to play as the Monarchists or the Aborigines, you can do so just by changing the Human player setting in CIV3XEdit, (under Player Properties), and starting the scenario. Be warned the Aboriginies are not really meant to be played.
Please let me know of any errors or inconsistencies. Thanks.

P.S. I'll get some screenshots up in the next few days.
