Mesopotamia [C3C]

This is a map of Mesopotamia, stretching from the Caspian Sea to the Mediteranian, and the black sea to the first cataract in the Nile. It includes most major rivers (not just the Tigris, Euphrates, and Nile).

This is clean version (it has no resources or player starting locations).

Here's a version with resources an accurate starting locations. I tried to make it balanced an accurate, but I was limited by my knowledge, and the locations of the civs. I might make a version with more fair starting locations. This one is MesopotamiaB.

Ok I like it a lot (expecially the western zones, Anatolia, which is the most difficult, and the placement of the rivers in Mesopotamia). Maybe the plains between the Tigris and the Zagros mts in Persia are a little too big. Just a consideration without importance.

About the resources placement, I like your idea of make a Firaxis Mesopotamia Conquest version of the map, because I need the Stone on this map!

The biggest problem with that version is there would be no Myceneans.

No problem: put the assyrians (or the eblaites instead of the phoenicians), make it finish in the date you will make your "Assyrian Empire" scenario start and change the tech tree and the wonders ... ... oops ... ... this is a completely different scenario ... but, if you want, I will create a "Fertile Crescent scenario" from 4000 BC to the date of begin of your "Assyrian Empire" one (I always suggest 1200 BC), with the same map and the stone. You'd like this idea?!

I've always had plans to modify C3C's Mesopotamia Conquest. I might get around to doing it (and put it on this map).

But it would have to take a back seat to my other scenario.

I finished the resource version.
