Civ3 on Earth. Accurate world map, accurate resource placement, correct startsites.

I have been away for a long time... downloaded the new map, and enjoyed it... But Raging Barbarians??? I discovered South America first, and though I would see no end of them. I planted cities with 2-4 riflemen defenders, and walls next turm... killed 20-50 barb horsemen every turn for at least 40 turns. They just kept coming and coming.
But it is finally mine. refused to sell my map until I had nearly the whole continent....
Great work.

Yep, Riflemen was the key. I lost a couple a cav divisions, their commanders being too daring....
Plant a city, which gives a defense bonus, build a wall and they throw them selves on it until they finanly dissapate.
I am currently tooling around Australia with a couple of destroyers -- no real intersat, since it is a 20-turn sail -- but watching the Chinese, and Japanese playing around -- with frigates, not landing any units. If it stays open, I will probably send a few colonists with panzers and infantry and claim it as well, since I now own all SA, with the Forbidden Pallace located there.

True, so sad. This one is a week old... and still going. (I did win the UN, but restarted from the save, to try for another victory.Did not do anything to manipulate it... got every vote but China (for herslef) and three that abstained because they are mad at me.)
I did watch China land two infantry and two settlers on an island, and the barbs cut them down. Took several turns, but they eventually went down. And then a Rider.... by that time my panzers were there with a sttler... end of resistance.
I am close to a culture victory, or could do the space ship in a few turns. Trying for culture, which I usually find very hard on a huge world.

War forever????
I'm giving up.. going to finish the last space piece and start something new War with China would take foreer.
Finally had a tank destroyed by a barbarian horseman. But the horsemen were a stack of 64 units....They lost every horseman, but the one successful one....

Surely, if accuracy is the objective then America should behave like Native Americans instead of Europeans.
The Native Americans gave a good account of themselves when they wiped out the Viking settlers with blow pipes (or whatever) so there's a Special Unit for them!

Well, aside from the 'civilizations' that were there, which is game, not history per se, I felt like I was living history again, with the natives violently opposing my settlement of their continent.
Even with superior weapons -- rifles and assault weapons-- in my hands, they gave a good account of themselves.
And true to life, the other civs let me clean out the hostiles before they sent settlers...

kOc I was wondering if you have any updates? This still remains one of my most favourite mods and I am eagerly looking forward to a PtW compatible version. I thank you for all of your efforts thus far!! Peace.

Do I have any updates?
The answer very much is yes and no.
Yes I continued to do things to my mod, but as to releasing it online, the download would be pretty big.
I will try and put together something this weekend in terms of a preview as to what I have been doing. But to some extent I am waiting till I and other testers hear what plans Firaxis has for the future of Civ3 before committing a large amount of time to it AND also as I have far, far too many other interests and have to work.
One thing should be clear: I hope to take what is best from the wonderful "Double your Pleasure" mod by Kal-El and bring it into my mod, I've already done that but I am testing/adding my own changes to many of the incorporated features. I will not have applies as a RESOURCE
Also I have put together the best graphics (in my opinion) released by designers for my modification terrain, improvements etc. A proud boast perhaps, but having the luxury to pick and choose from such a wealth of excellent art and modifications and then ADD my own ideas to the mix can only produce a great result. Lets hope I spend the countless hours making it a reality
Any suggestions as to improvements to the present release are very much appreciated and please say what units you'd particularly like to see added from the "PTW Extra Units" and the custom units released in the modding section.
P.S The present version released is PTW compatible

kOc thanks for taking the time to reply!! I am confused though by what you mean about waiting to see what Firaxis is planning? You mean a new patch? Or am I just dense and not reading between the lines? A definite possibility Well I eagerly anticipate and greatly appreciate all your efforts. Peace

Firaxis will hopefully be making another expansion, but perhaps not. Being in the public beta-testing team I'd expect to know what their intentions are earlier than most and so decide whether to commit time to this game or migrate to other games.
That is very tempting with releases such as "Eve: The Second Genesis" and "Warrior Kings: Battles" on the near horizon.
As for patches, we are testing a PTW patch, but don't expect it to add to the editor. It will mainly tackle multiplayer problems and may (in all probability ) tackle them very well

2)Britain swings west too much
3)Needs specific units for individual civs to make a realistic outcome in terms of strength.
4)Question, so what civs we talking about in this new version?
5)Viking Longship unit.
6)Can the Celts if in the scenario please be in Scotland or Ireland? Otherwise Europe has too many civs on the main continent.
7)More recources?
8)Try to keep it a bit simple not too drastic and big if u can make it smaller, let it evolve on itself, thanks.
Well this is by far the best mod. Thanks Kitten

1)Indonesia needs to be bigger
I'll check my atlases and decide upon that.
2)Britain swings west too much.
Any suggestions on how to combat this. Personnally I think the changes I've made to naval movement will do this well.
3)Needs specific units for individual civs to make a realistic outcome in terms of strength.
Absolutely.
4)Question, so what civs we talking about in this new version?
Of course you will have the option to play the Mongols, Spanish, Koreans, Arabs, Vikings Carthaginians and Celts in addition to the Vanilla Civs, but I am hopefully going to add the Incas and Polynesians. I will be crippling some civs to make the mod interesting as different civilizations will play the game differently and be obviously of greater difficulty. To play the Vikings I'd think to be a particular challenge but with a medieval age of excellent conquest units such as the Bezerker and Longships and Normans can perhaps recreate the conquests of the North and in particular of much of Britain, N.France and Ireland and who knows what else.
5)Viking Longship unit.
It will be in Just deciding on whether to use the "DYP" longship or the "AOK" longship.
6)Can the Celts if in the scenario please be in Scotland or Ireland?
Otherwise Europe has too many civs on the main continent.
Unlikely that I'll do this. I'd recommend people are selective in choosing the civs present in Europe or else it will be VERY crowded. Personnally I'd favour the Celts, Germans, Romans, Greeks. Why? Because as "peoples" they did spawn the other civs to some extend, pity civ3 can't recreate such things in a "History of the World" type fashion.
7)More recources?
OH YES!
8)Try to keep it a bit simple not too drastic and big if u can make it smaller, let it evolve on itself, thanks.
TRICKY!

So just to clarify, you will be releasing a PtW compatible version, or you are first waiting to see what Firaxis does in regard to an additional expansion?
