Orbis 2016-10-05

I am proud to announce the publishing of my first mod... Orbis! At its core, it is a custom map to play on based on the Ancient view of the world by the Greeks and Romans. It is a circular map focused on Europe, West Asia, The Middle East and North Africa. The map is of Huge size and features 14 Civs and 24 City-States. I also placed a number of Natural Wonders around, using the default ones (Gibralter, Mt. Sinai, etc) in their correct place where possible. I used other default Natural Wonders to represent ones that are not in the core game like Mt Versuvius, Olympus, etc. Hopefully I (or somebody with much more experience and know-how) will be able to update the map with new Natural Wonders created specifically for this map. If anybody can help, please PM me or post here.

SPECIAL NOTE: To anybody who downloaded this after initial release, I have re-uploaded with a correct version of the map. I appologize for any inconvenience. See Special Thanks below for those who assisted in getting this fixed and with suggestions for improvement.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy and appreciate any feedback.
