Earth - standard size

Can anyone edit this map so that Antartica doesn't have real land tiles? Currently civs spawn there, which is bad, all that land in Antartica needs to go and be replaced with polar ice as a gameplay consideration.

Probably a good idea to do so with Greenland too.
 
I suggest to place ressources for 18 Civs Antartica and greenland and extrême north america and asia should be rich in these ressources...

Think oil in Alaska :goodjob:

Oh, it is really annoying when that happens.

I am gonna edit it.
 
So, has anyone removed the spawnable locations in Antartica?
 
On what your scenario will be based ?

A simple vanilla 3.19 BTS ?

What epoch ?

I'm interested...
 
Been playing this map, a few thoughts.

1) Russia starts with Hunting, so they can end up with a HUGE number of goody huts--Europe (if you block it, and there's a great city site to do so), possibly Arabia and Mesopotamia (depending on the Egyptian warrior), a couple in Asia (depending on China). I've nabbed a dozen or so each game, which is a very big boost and only somewhat compensated for by the default capital site for Russia being middling.

2) The American civs made fairly early contact with the rest of the world; I met them right around the time Alphabet was being traded around. Not having a serious tech lag there is a nice little bonus.

3) The AI is stupid, so Inca don't beeline Ironworking as they should. This makes the Inca great for a player, but pretty weak in the hands of the AI. Bit sad, really, given how powerful their land is for cottaging up and heading to space.

I am aware this is kind of old, but all you need is writing and fishing to go around the world. Fishing for workboats, writing for open borders. Iceland and Greenland allow you to sail through the coast to the New World.

That's why you should play as England and avoid signing OB with anyone and colonize the Americas ASAP. Win.

Beware of the Koreans, though, they usually hit the Americas through the Pacific early, not as early as England, but early.
 
I made a map called Earth 100AD for BTS 3.19.
