I played a game as the English on the map, and won around 1700 (Domination). I was rather fortunate to end up on the largest island in the southeast region. Could have been a lot more challenging from other positions. It seems the civilizations that end up in the far NW region are isolated quite effectively from those in the southeast. These civilizations were far behind technologywise when I finally encountered them.
I don´t know enough about Hawaii to judge whether the map is true to the real life geography.
I was able to expand thanks to a quick win over the French in an early war, and after that I stayed peaceful, although I was able to expand further whenever one of my "friends" landed a unit or two in my territory and attacked. Egypt´s attack on me was well-timed as I found out that they had coal when I discovered Steam Power while my units were on the way to Egypt to retaliate for their sneak attack.
The monopoly principle works reasonably well, but coal could have been very difficult to do without if I had insisted on a peaceful game, and not been attacked by any nation with coal. But Egypt gave me an excuse to conquer their island and gain control of their resource.

Are there any Pacific/Hamaiian Civs (or just leaderheads) that would be appropriate for this map? I just don't think it's appropriate to have a Hawaiian map, with absolutely no Hawaiian Civs fighting for it. BTW, excellent work Plexus!

Just wait until my Pacific Islands mod comes out. There's 24 Pacific civs in it (including Hawaii). There is a leaderhead of Queen Lilioukalani (probably spelled wrong), which I'm not sure where you can get it from, although it will be in my mod, because I found it somewhere. There's also Tangaloa for Polynesia.

 

[xghost]

Thanks Clammy! But how long will I have to wait for it to come out?

 

[Clam I Am]

well version 0.1 is basically ready, the time it takes to complete is based on how long it takes me to find UUs for the remaining civs. Other than that all I need to do is make a few civilopedia entries I haven't done yet.

The Hawaii map is ok, but its kinda small, and i like huge maps!

This map reminds me of a peom i once heard.
I wish i was a camel

This is funny. I was just reading this thread when I realized it's well over two and a half years old. And then, out of the long silence, you ended it with a poem. I wonder what happened to this scenario Idea anyway. It sounds like it would have been fun.

And two years later the silence was broken........I just opened it with my editor and it looks great. I will begin playing it. And by the way,if your still making Civ3 maps now, after the big release, can you let me know cause I enjoy a good map. And also, ive noticed in map making people tend to make their own country/state except usually its not a state. Did you do that in this map?
