About the mod
===========
When you start new game you will have the 2 new map size options available but the new speed option are only available in the custom game option. To start custom game choose: Single Player -> Custom Game.
This mod should work on most basic map scripts but there might be map scripts that won't work correctly with the new map sizes. I don't know how map scripts work so don't ask me how to fix those to work with this mod
I recommend using high end computer with at least 2GB of RAM on those new map sizes. I also recommend using some community made mapscripts to make better maps than the default game mapscripts will do.

default civ amount 18
