Spoiler alert!
Great map! I was very perplexed by a few features though. I did not see any of the continental wonders available (Hanging Gardens and Notre Dame are examples). If they have been eliminated, perhaps the civilopedia and tech tree should be edited to reflect the changes. I haven't yet gotten to the modern era, but I'm assuming Hoover Dam is gone also.
I was also very surprised to see that the Dutch and Portuguese were not in their normal start locations. I got messages saying they had been eliminated before I visited the New World, and I had already mapped the old world, so I'm guessing they had start locations over there. That was confusing. The Celts starting out in central Asia was less confusing--if we call ourselves Caucasians, then supposedly out ancestors came from the Caucasus region of Russia....right?
Anyway, great mod and map. I really liked the way Europe worked, and the new resources were fabulous. I also liked allowing civs to choose which religion they founded--it got Christianity put in Europe (France researched it), but a New World civ founded Buddhism, which was a little wacko. But Taoism was founded in Asia, Judaism in the Middle East, so there was some reason to it. Did you code civs to have a favored religion?
I was also pleasantly surprised to find the Pyramids in Thebes. Is that just luck, or did you plan it that way?
Good work!
