Oceania

[ottoman_freak]

This is my first contribution to CivFanatics. It is a small map for PTW (.bix) for 4 players with 36 1-city islands. All strategic resources are plentiful. However only half of the world can be explored with galleys; the other half is all ocean and has all the best resources (and slightly bigger islands - 2x2 instead of 1x1 so that there can be mountains and still have it be habitable). Map Making is free at the start. All offensive units and unique units are amphibious, and lethal bombard is on for ships (attacking land or sea), planes (attacking land or sea), and artillery (only when attacking land). Have fun, leave feedback...

Edit 10/3/2006: Version 1.1:

Bugs fixed: Swordsmen and Paratroopers are now amphibious, as they were meant to be, and AEGIS cruisers have lethal bombard, as they were meant to.

Changes: Coast (renamed Shallows) now produces 1 shield so that cities can have more than 1 production. Galleys have an extra move point. The .zip file now includes a readme.

Ok... sounds cool. I'll check this out.

An interesting idea would be to try this using my Sea Cities mod - just to see what might happen differently, if nothing else.

Shoot.

I was testing just now and realized I forgot to make Swordsmen marine... You can edit that in for yourselves and I'll get the updated version on here soon.

Derf, the concept of sea cities is cool, but I wouldn't want it on this - half the point is that an average civ can only have 9 cities in the whole game, so you have to race to get as many islands as possible.

I'm just posting this to move the thread back to the top, and to let everyone know that I've fixed a few bugs. The new version is now in the original post.
