The conquest of "Mare Nostrum" as it was called by the Romans was finally achieved when the last of the Hellenistical Kingdoms, Egypt,admitted the Roman supremacy.Thus ended over half a milenium of wars among the great civilizations of the Western Antiquity.
This screenplay starts with the Medic wars, followed by the Peloponesian war.Your goal is to try to change history during this 600 years period you are alotted.
You can chose to play either one of the great powers, the Romans, either of the Greeks, Phoenicians (of Carthage too), or Persians. Nabatheans might prove a great challenge too. Celts, Iberians, Britons, Germans, Dacians, Scythians, Numidians and Lybians are also playable but, because of their lack of knowledge, settlers at the beginning of the game, bad reputation and barbarian atitude they will prove quite challenging. They are however on the borders of the known world and they can expand oncew they can build new cities. The Cultural victory through sacrifices or the great powerfull units of later ages could turn the tides if they make it till then that is.
All victory conditions are enabled except for the Wonder Victory. Spaceship is replaced by the silkroad victory. Capture the flag has been altered to becom a treasure way of scoring points and money. Sacrifice has also been introduced to give the "backward Barbarians" a chance of wining a cultural victory.
Some air missions like scouting into enemy territory and torching enemy city improvements (precision bombing) seemed pretty welcome in the ancient times as well. Travelling fast betweeen Commercial Ports also seemed like quite realistic and the Roman roads certainly didn't take years to reach the far corners of the Empire.
There are many more changes. Practically all I could alter has been altered (222 units over 150 techs and many improvements ). Hope you like what I plondered. Too bad I couldn't import the events from the civ2gold edition. Well it comes a bit late as civ IV is already in fashion but I still hope you'll like it.
I know the civilopedia doesn't exactly corespond to the buildings and units but i'll probably work on it if I have the time. If any of you would like to help or post a new civilopedia.txt or any suggestion about the game for that matter, you can contact me on realpmutyke@yahoo.com.

You probably know where to put it/them (in the Scenarios folder of course)
Ah! Here are some screenshots and a last minute version patch file. The new version 1.31 is already comprised in the big meditera.zip at 3ddownloads so you needn't dl it unless you chose the 3 files from filefactory. With this patch, the two should be the same.
Last version of the patch, 1.31 is available here:
Patch1.31.zip
Screenshots are HERE
