I played your map. The first game after my test games on my own map which I posted here a couple of days ago, btw. It was interesting to play your map, at least until I ran into an error that crashed my game at a certain time during the AI´s turn. Didn´t help restarting, and it didn´t help rebooting either.
I was playing the Greeks and started near the desert. I was pretty much surrounded by other civs, and I think France and Germany had been fortunate to have easier starting positions. Well, the Aztecs had a bit more room to expand in too. The Indians were just south of me, and stayed at two cities for the entire game as the Persians had the areas to the west of them and I controlled the area east and north of their towns.

It was a very peaceful game until the later parts of the middle ages/early industrial. Suddenly things heated up. I was also frustrated about not having iron for my workers so they could build railroads, and was happy to take part in a couple of wars. I had been preparing for a war with the Persians who had iron, but was attacked by the Iroquis to the east and later the Germans. Alliances with the Aztecs, French, Indians, and Persians against the Iroquis were sufficient to take this civilization out quickly, and the Germans were kind enough to wait until I had conquered the last Iroquis town. They had been moving troops into my territory for a while (with me demanding that they retreated every turn), but when they declared war, I was ready to focus on them. I took my forces to their territory. The French were kind enough to help me out again, and soon Berlin was in my hands. With IRON in it´s radius as soon as I could get culture past the first level. And then the game crashed.....

Lack of rivers made irrigation impossible in my starting area early on. Well, I am not complaining here as it´s also very difficult to irrigate on my own map, Malta. Having essential resources that are difficult to get makes it rather challenging. I could easily have slaughtered the helpless Indians for Iron, but even when I demanded gold per turn from them, they were more than willing to help me out, so I agreed to protect their tiny civilization instead.

That was all for now.

Oh, a couple of complaints. The txt-file shouldn´t just be readme, but named after your map so it´s easy to recognize it. Also, the map name and zip name are different, which is a bit confusing.

Thank you very much for your responses...

-resources: the iron thing first.... i like battling over civs for some resourses.... so ill put like 3 near one city and another town gets none.... instead they might get the majority of the horses or something.

-irrigation: in my new map i posted today its got TONS of water holes all over the map but impassible to boats but walkable for any unit. but in maps like this ill keep it in mind

-Zip files...ILL DEFINETLY CHANGE THIS ONE! cause i see your point here... for now on it will be the same as the sips name

below is a preview of my new map "boatless voyage" its on the board if you want to download it "

Yeah, and guess who rated this thread!
I´m trying to rate the map threads when I´ve played the maps.
Hopefully I will get some feedback on Malta some day. Right now, I´m in the process of updating it.
