this is great to see so much interest in this scenario. I would have thought that firaxis games would have been more involved in scenario making but it seems they have left it to the talented users. Skippy T had some interesting ideas for civs, only 16 though, leaves room for portugal perhaps...

if scandinavia is a bit cut off, maybe thats ok. It will encourage the civ/civs there to invade other countries. (like the vikings did) Just make sure to leave a bit of overland access to russia. ie. dont make scandinavia an island

if you have 18 civs, even the smallest civs will need at least 3 or 4 cities. If you think it will be too squarish, try adding turkey, russia and some of the middle east. You will know better than me though

as big as possible, the idea is to capture realism, so more room for different, important cities. Thats my opinion anyway. Im not much for the tiny world scenarios.

Im no Modder but I think accurate map making is awful hard to do. I agree it would be great to see a european map with scandinavia in full but it seems none of the map makers thought the same. North Africa is also critical and played a big role in European history. Egypt, Carthage, Ottomans...

i so wish people could make european maps with scandinavia included, who can deny the influence of the vikings. Even Iceland could provide a late game colonial opportunity as it is full of resources. Oh well sweden will have to do. They were a major naval power at one time, just not colonial...

I like your style serf. I saw a couple of great europe maps by artemisarrow and uncopain on this site in the maps list. They still are missing much of Scandinavia, what is that all about. Anyway, they are big, bigger is better in terms of realism. A bit more to handle but good for adding cities...

Hey Great Map dude. Some Thoughts Consider instead of the 12 tribes of Israel, maybe some of the old biblical civilizations of the area. Caananites, philistines, phoencians, etc. etc. I just dont think the 12 tribes would war with each other. Ciao

Im not sure if this was an effective way for making a request for this map. REQUEST REQUEST

Hey could anyone create a real modern europe with about 18 civs. I know that all the civs exist out there and there are some great huge europe maps as well. It would be great to see one with fair balanced starting positions for all the moden powers. England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany...
