Earth 1000 AD
Description
A 1000 AD scenario based on a standard sized Earth map (thread for map located here). I've taken substantial liberties to create a more interesting and dynamic start for as many Civs as possible.
Diplomacy has also been revamped in this scenario with the "What Would Ghandi Do?" Mod. I'm happy with the results of this, but if you desire a return to Vanilla diplomacy simply move or delete the "Diplomacy" folder found inside the mod.
* Arabia starts at war with Europe (Spain, England, France, Holy Roman Empire and Byzantium) and in a very dominant position. A small crusade to retake Jerusalem has started, with France's Stephen II of Blois at the head of the army.
* The Vikings start at war with Warsaw, Stockholm, Edinburgh and Dublin with a reasonably substantial army. Aside from these four, there are no City-States.
* Mongolia starts not knowing any Civs, but with a substantial force of Keshiks and Khans.
* India, Siam, China, Korea and Japan start at peace with each other but with ample room for expansion and development. Japan, however, must contend with a small force of rogue samurai to its north, led by Shogun (Great General) Emishi.
* The American Civs start well behind the others, but are generally speaking able to capitalize on the open ground available to them. It is not expected, however, that they will be able to beat an Asian or European force.
