That's actually a good idea, imho. Considering all the equipment Mexico got from the US...

On the resources front. Am playing with France, and am crippled by a shortage (so far) of copper and aluminium... I've been able to buy copper (at ripoff prices!) but I can't get anyone to sell me aluminium. I think it's so scarce, either no one has any to spare, or have sold all...
A question: is there a restriction on ocean trading? All my cities have ports, but I can't trade with multiple trans-atlantic civs...

Ports allow water trade and Worldwide commerce enables trading over ocean tiles. However. allow trade over *sea* tiles isn't flagged so perhaps that is the problem. I'll add that flag to Ports.
I've also added more aluminium to the map.

That has been amended as per the details in post 167. The Warhammer Tank is renamed to 'Iron Buffalo' and only available to Amerindians and African tribes.

Cool! I've had to ninja-create a city/outpost smack on the west coast of Africa!
Ah, ok. One note I forgot: when I upgraded to the previous unit, I got the Warhammer tank.
I'm going to forge ahead (to the bitter end!) with France before downloading the new version.

Upgrade chain is this Land Ironclad > Juggernaut > Land Leviathan

That would be a feature of Yoda Power's map as I imported his terrain settings as well. My original intention was to allow this at Heroic Engineering. What do you think - keep it as is or go with the original? I can think of pros and cons for either option.
Barricades require Iron. I will tackle the civilopedia next - it's a task I always put off till last.

Regarding this: the entry for "Martian War machine" is empty. Just returns "Invalid entry".

Not sure myself, I love the idea of all those mystical marshes in steampunk world, but Amerindians will beat the crap out of me with their ghost units. Maybe to leave it as is, to pose more of a challenge for Mexicans. (just make necessary amendments in tech tree).

A few points:
- how can we get Etherium? It seems to pop up only on volcanoes, where we can't built roads or colonies;
- we can't build cities on taiga, or clear it; is this on purpose (in which case there's a massive área were we can't go...) or a bug?
- can't a worker build a colony on a swamp? I need to get my hands on some gas...

Top Playtesting
These are all unintended consequences of importing Yoda Powers map and terrain rules. I will fix these in the next update.The next update has quite a few changes for minor powers
1) Amerindians and Africans - changing to a non-playable, roadblock civ
- removed ability to build settlers and workers.
- Increased number of starting Rifle units but they can no longer build new rifleman. Instead, build War Party (multi unit) at Colonialism. Limited unit builds thereafter: Cavalry, Iron Buffalo and Spirit Ancestors.
- Added 2 new starting cities to Africans: Buganda and Kongo.
- New graphics for Amerindian cavalry
2) Extra Flavour tweaks to Secret Society (no spoilers).
3) Added camel strategic resource and Camelry unit (ignores desert terrain's movement cost).
4) Added Black Corsair (Naval Pirate unit) to Oman and Morocco -available at Worldwide Trade.
5) Texas gets a source of Iron and Copper and 1 more Gas.
6) A sprinkling of more Anarchists (barb camps).
Here is my schedule of work:
May-June - complete civilopedia.
Jun-Jul - complete unit sounds.
End of July for completion.
