GoogleCiv 2.0.0 coming...
Original GoogleCiv Thread
The first major update of GoogleCiv is currently in production. For those who are not aware of Google Earth Civilization please click the thread link above to understand fully what this is. This update takes place next to the release of Civilization V and adds new and updated maps and plots to new wonders and civilizations which will be explained in detail. The time it will take to complete this second download will be a few months due to the time it will take to complete to newly rendered map polygons, even though about a quarter of the maps are complete. The full list of the additions and updates so far are;
The last release of GoogleCiv unfortunatly had a few errors about the placing of some wonders and mapping of a few period maps, those errors have now been rectified.
The maps from the original iteration were created very quickly, using the view that the maps enlarge out to. Now the maps are re-rendered with a view at a set distance from ground level, not only meaning that the maps are far and away more detailed, they now produce realistic borders between other nations.
The old World and National Wonder information will be injected with the new Civilization V information!
The new World Wonders will be plotted and given the usual Civilization information and histories to each, including designating the wonders to the appropriate civilizations.
Natural Wonders are also going to be added to the layers, also with their Civilization V outputs and histories on their discovery and any effects they caused in history.
And of course, introdusing the 37th civilization to the 'Pantheon of Civlization', the Songhai - rivals of the Malinese Empire during European Colonization of Africa. The 'Songhai' layer will be included into GoogleCiv 2.0.0, as it should, it must! Included into it will be the map of the empire's greatest extent, and its capital city according to Civilization, ie. the first Songhai city built in game.
P.S. The easter eggs in the downloadable set, known as GoogleCol - the addition set of layers for the Colonization visuals, are also getting updated maps.
P.P.S. On a whim, I'm also adding the City-States from Civilization V, providing the city extent, border polygons also in appropriate colours, and both Civilization and historical information.
Update Progress; as of 11/07/2013
Awaiting Brave New World for new and updated information, 3 complete layers so far...
- Wow I totally suck, eight months of doing nothing, I mean 'working hard on other...things.....yea......that'. Obviously updating the layers with new plots and rejiggering the info. In the meantime, while not occupied with other tasks and projects I'll be completing more polygon maps, but now I'm reaching the point where the polygons are so large that a week may no longer be a reasonable deadline to complete a layer, I'll repost this in a later reply but each layer is now likely to come out every two weeks due to the size of their maps. Also, as part of the revamping to the new content I'm looking for a guy or girl out there willing to try out a test layer for the next update, if you like to take part just give us a reply or PM and I'll send you the details and the layer for testing. The update will also include new layers I complete before the update is released, three new ones are done so far so sit by the box for more info to come...

The full list of the additions and updates so far are;
- Fixed problems from the original GoogleCiv release.
- Updated maps of the original civilizations in 'higher resolution'.
- Updated Wonder information from Civilization V.
- New Wonders introduced from Civilization V with information and history.
- Introducing Natural Wonders into the current layers from Civilization V with information and history.
- Adding a new 'Siam' layer, differentiating from the 'Khmer' layer.
- The newest 'Songhai' civilization layer!!!
- Updated maps for the GoogleCol extra layers.
- New Natural Wonder from 'the New World' DLC; Cerro de Potosi.
- The next newest civilization layer; 'Polynesia'.
- The nexter newest civilization layer; 'Denmark'.
- New layers for the City-States.
- [NEW!] Following the stalling that occurred during 2.1.0, Google Civilization 2.2.0 will slowly release with all new updated plots and information to accommodate the Civilization V expansion 'Brave New World'.
- After a considerable number of layers release, I'll start to consider adding new possible plots from Civilization III.
- At some point I'll start to trial changing the icons to images from Civilization games.
