Thank you for all those thousands who downloaded and played the map.
Version 10 of the map pack is now released!
The map is based upon the Fall of Rome Scenario, but it has been greatly extended to fit complete Europe, the Sahara and Western Asia including India. There are several different shapes and pieces of the map, which can be played alone, because it was not possible to add everything even on the largest map size. I have also carefully drawn all rivers so it should be pretty realistic.
The map has also been adjusted with more luxuries and strategic resources. The locations of the resources are roughly placed in their natural and climatic appropriate locations. There will be up to 22 Civs available depending on map size. There are also some smaller adjusted regional maps for certain parts of Europe.
All recent maps, will always be attached to the first post. Please make sure you open it via the mod menu and load the scenario, if you want to use the preset city states and resources.

Reasons for excluding Civilizations:
The Huns -> I decided it would be better to pick Russia instead, because this is a more common civilization.
Austria -> It was mainly dropped because of the lack of space in that area, but also due to its ability.
Venice -> There are not enough city states around that area, Venice would also hinder Rome to start a major expansion.
The Netherlands, Denmark, England, The Celts, Sweden -> The map has been cutted in favor of an East South expansion, I wanted players to be able to circumnavigate Arabia and conquer Asia like Alexander the Great. If you miss any of these Civs, please scroll down and choose the complete Europe map.
Altered TSL:
Russia -> starts at Rostow (Ukraine)
China -> starts at Urumchi (Tibet)
Mayor Terrain and Balance Changes:
Bosporus is now a land bridge, but Konstantinopel can be used as a passage, this improves Byzantines performance a lot.
Suez Canal is not possible, because the canal was build in 1869, not in ancient times.
Morocco now starts on the coast.
Natural Wonders:
Mount Sinai (Sinai)
Gibraltar Rock (Gibraltar)
Mount Kailash (Matterhorn)
Mount Kailash (Himalaya)

Complete Europe (BNW)
The normal World Editor without modding it, only allows to add 22 Civs to the map, so I had to delete some old Civilizations. I hope, that I have deleted the least interesting/most annoying ones. The original starting locations are still found on the map as "random player start position", in case you want to make any changes, or you want to add your favorite civilization again.
