CIV3 Mars Project / CIV3 Projet Mars

Feed up of playing on earth like maps on civ3.
And searching for a new world maps that makes me enjoy to play.
I decided to make a mars maps.
Let's conquer the world, the next 'new frontier' for human kind.
Let's make the story of mars !.
I make the topography of mars as if we have manage to put water on it.
He have melted the cap of mars, it has produced ocen and seas in all ground under 2 kms (1.5 miles).
There the great ocean of north 'Mare Boreum' ...
Hum, Let's discover, the suprise is so sweet.
Mars is a young planet with a lot of minerals a lot of montains,
A lots of craters that make good place for towns, canyon which drill montain and carry good minerals ressources.
There is also some goods plains in the ancient place of seas...
Let's play this maps and enjoy it.

If you have a map of the real, present day Mars, you could do one on that.
First, the whole map is desert and hills and mountains, with just a few areas that are plains, where the starting locations are at. Have irrigation at the places where recent surveys have shown water. Mineral resources all over the place, especially iron. Except there was no carboniferous, so there are no fossil fuels. Uranium could substitute for coal and "dry ice" could substitute for oil (once you research Synthetic Fuel). Organic resources and luxuries represent places where the soil can support these things, of course, rather than where they grow naturally. The Desert will actually become the coveted land, since with irrigation and a railroad its as good as an undeveloped square of bonus grassland. The starting locations represent where Earth civs had landed Mars colonies, before the nuclear war back home marrooned them. Maybe America, Russia, China, Japan, Germany, and France. You could just take out tech prerequisites for everything and put all techs in no age, or you could make up some new techs to represent research to adapt to the altered conditions. For instance, Mars has no oxygen in its atmosphere, so you would need to develop new weapons that don't need it. Walls could be domes etc...Instead of barbarians you have outlaws, maybe Longbow and Samurai.

I think you shouldn't use the water idea....
use river instead to represent water.....

since there ain't going to be enough pressure in
that atmosphere, water will vaporise quite fast...
