Hello all, I still have not played or gotten the hang of PBEM. So i always play just live games online, and that's what these maps are for. I have heard many congrat's and some conplaints. I try to fix those complaints, and incorporate suggestions. Some of these maps have no corruption as I was trying that, so you could accually keep cities u capture that are far away. I eventually ruled that out as too easy, and subtracting form the game. So most will have it, all maps however have what I call, "Conan Barbs". I was tired of scouts going out and taking everything, and it contributes to the "No_Rush" factor. Just like land bridges usage and distance from enemies. There are also no early ships, like Galley's, Caravel's and Galleon's. There are no transports until combustion, hence no rush. There is a build up time for armies, and the only way someone COULD rush would be to build a road and cities all the way across the map ... leaving themselves open. So yeah it work's pretty well, I have made 2v2, 3v3, and a 4v4 version. They are basically symetrical with small differences, each player starting in a similar position. Anyway, download em, give em a shot. Let me know what you think, like i said tho i use them for live play. I don' nt know how they would work in PBEM. Take care, have fun. Peace.
