Mappa Mundi Mod

***IF YOU DOWNLOADED THE VERSION HERE PRIOR TO 20 APRIL 2010, YOU MAY WISH TO DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THE DOWNLOAD FILE WITH ONE INCLUDING ONLY THE LOCKED WBSAVE TO AVOID CONFUSION AND REQUIRING A SEPARATE DOWNLOAD FROM THE COMMENT BELOW...THE CURRENT DOWNLOAD IS ALL YOU NEED.

This is a modded version of my Mappa Mundi scenario (one based off the Hereford Mappa Mundi, a traditional T-O map…don't forget to pay attention to the corners of the map!). Originally, I kept it a scenario in order to make it conveniently multiplayer. In order to do that I had to make a number of cosmetic compromises (duplicate leaders, unsatisfactory flags) as well as duplicate UUs and UBs. The mod is enabled for multiplayer, but I make no promises when it comes to OSS errors.

This mod fixes much of the cosmetic complaints I had by using my own Harp flag (from my RFC Irish Marathon mod) as well as a few other flags from the RFC mod

I've also altered the xml to create some new civs with UUs and UBs for Ireland, Scotland, Venice and the Papal States.

New leaderhead graphics have been used that are available on the forum, they are
for William Wallace, El Cid by ekmek (although I couldn't find the button file, so I made my own)
for Alfred I, Basil II by ekmek
for Otto I, Michael by ekmek
for Pope Gregory I, the pope by ekmek

I've also killed global warming. After the Hadley CRU/NASA GISS debacle, it's debatable whether or not the feature belongs in real Earth scenarios, much less one made to reflect the medieval European understanding of the world.

I confess, little to no effort has been made to update the civilopedia or the like, and the buttons for the UBs and UUs are largely the same as those of the buildings/units I modified, but they make sense so I left them.

Have fun!
