Flanking III Submarine
New Version 11/27/09 Changes :
-Included a version compatible for Vanilla Civ (with replacement Civs)
-Corrected Bug where Egyptians do not have starting techs
Removed Greeks (now 17 Civilizations) for more expansion room in Europe
Changed Celts starting location from Italy to Eastern Europe
Opened up land route in Denmark connecting Germany to Scandivania
(This makes the Vikings much stronger, instead of making them a semi-island Civ)
Fort added in Denmark so a "Canal" exists into the Baltic Sea
Improved distribution of aluminum
Balanced some starting location resources (Improved African starts, Khmer was overpowered after clearing jungles)
=================================
Based off a cutdown of Petty's Earth Map, I removed the New World, making the world a much smaller place. However, the Indies and the Philippines still offers some lush lands to colonize. I'm sure balance is still an issue for some civilizations, though I have personally played with many already. Russia as usual, is the one to watch out for, though China, Egypt, and Arabia can also become juggernauts.
17 Civs More or less in their starting locations. Cities are not pre-placed (except for 2 barbarian ones).
I created this map because I love world maps, but disliked the isolation/balance issues that the New World caused. I also enjoy smaller maps, due to computer limitations. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did (and still do).
Notes:
-Southern hemisphere and arctic coast removed because it really doesn't add much to gameplay.
-The world wraps around where Japan and England are, so the game is more dynamic and you're never 'stuck' in a corner.
-Fort/Oasis tile at Istanbul and the Suez to use as a canal right from the start.
