I have to say, I found this quite by accident while looking for Axis & Allies maps, if you can believe it. I love the Civ games, so it intrigued me. I spent much of today reading through this thread, and I just wanted to say that I really, really liked it! I've always been interested in history, and fascinated by different concepts of alternate history (loved Years of Rice and Salt), and so all of this was really quite up my alley. I'm going to browse some other NES threads, and maybe even try to join one, but if you do anything like this one again, I'd really love to know! Alternate Earth history is just so... fun!
