This is a 12 civ version of Matrix's excellent standard sized Earth map based on the equirectangular projection. The civs are:
Sitting Bull
Montezuma
Huayna Capac
Pacal II
Julius Caesar
Ragnar
Ramesess II
Asoka
Qin Shi Huang
Shaka
Ghenghis Kang
Mansa Musa
The starting locations of China, Mongolia, and Maya are a tile (or ~3 in the case of Maya) off from geographical accuracy for gameplay purposes. All civs start with 2 warriors (or 1 warrior & 1 scout) and a settler. If you want the AI's to have Monarch+ bonuses you have to add them in. The only other modification is the addition of oil to Alaska and a few strategic resources to otherwise barren Greenland (as per the CIA World Fact Book!).
I recommend using some permutation of BetterAI for faster performance & actual threat of naval invasion by the AI.
