The map shows the Louisiana, Alabama and Florida coasts, the primary front line in the early wars for New World. It's NOW IN BETA! Fully developed but not playtested.

BETA VERSION

Mobile, Alabama where I live (AKA The Port City and AKA The Azalea City and AKA The City Under Six Flags) was founded as the capital of France's Louisiana colony before the capital moved to Biloxi and finally New Orleans, then Mobile was ceded to Great Britian in the 1763 Treaty of Paris, then the Spanish Empire seized Mobile during the American Revolution in 1780 and ran it as part of Spanish Florida until 1813 when it was captured by the Americans. Obviously it was a major port for the Confederacy until Union Admiral Farragut yelled "damn the torpedoes -- full speed ahead" in the famous "Battle of Mobile Bay" and Mobile later surrendered.

So the Gulf Coast has huge potential for dramatic conflict as a Civilization IV scenario. There's fun to be had from New Orleans to Natchez to Mobile to Pensacola to Savannah and Spanish St. Augustine, Florida (one of the oldest settlements in the New World).

Any interest?

STANDARD size map. 72 x 55. Designed for 4 civs only.

France, Spain and England will begin with 3 historic cities but will have to settle more and compete.

America begins with a big army.
 
Can you include a screenshot please?
And by the way, where's the 6th flag? France, Great Brittain, Spain, US and Confederacy is 5, right? :o ;)

I downloaded it, although I am a bit too busy to play it right now. :)
 
Yeah.....oddly enough they're counting Alabama state flag too

also, the map shouldnt be played, it needs work. i'm looking for collaborators :)
 
Ah, state flag, didn't think of that :lol:
And uhm, yeah, I meant taking a better look at it. Need some sleep ;)
 
nice, very nice.
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! 12 hours of work on cities, rivers and resources on this map -- and it's all lost. I saved every few minutes. Still, I load up and nothing saved.

What went wrong?!!!!

......

I think I'm going to go stab my eyes out with a phalanx spear.

......nevermind..... Found it.
it was in some far flung place in My Documents. Banished to folder Siberia!
