The Ancient Mediterranean

Good idea! I found a Trojan horse animation somewhere. I'll see what I can do with it.

Add one or two naval techs along the path. Historically, the second weakest ship (caravel) didn't appear for millenia after the trireme. Maybe add another ship in between them?

Greek Fire - a volatile chemical mix that ignited on contact with air. Not good to have your boat attacked by another carrying this stuff... (Fire ship?)

Add another horsemanship tech - stirrups or some such as a prereq for building knights.

Well, I like your scenario very much, thamis! But: Is there any possibility to have all of the eleven civs on the map at the same time? I tried to change the maximum civilization numbers for all the world sizes, but nothing happend.

It will be possible to play with 16 civs at the same time on a much better map very soon. I am still working on the new tech tree and units. Any suggestions?

Hi!

Here's a little "teaser" for the next version of the Ancient Mediterranean Mod - the map!

I think I will let the map contain more resources:

Strategic:
Copper
Tin (Copper + Tin -> Bronze...)

Luxus:
Fruit
Papyrus
Wool

Bonus:
Oasis
Clay

I'm working on it! Thank you for some good ideas - the greek fire will be a great thing in the game...

Suggestions welcome!

It's not working for me.....

Do you have 1.21f installed?

This is the pure map, keep that in mind.

Some more information on the upcoming MOD:

UU: Legion, Support Troops

- Egypt (Cleopatra)
UU: War Chariot, Arab Horseman, (Mameluck)

- Greece (Alexander)
UU: Hoplite, Trojan Horse, Coracle

- Babylon (Hammurabi)
UU: Bowman, Arab Horseman

- Germanic Tribes (Arminius)
UU: Raider, Knight

That's 15 civs, one missing. In the other Ancient Med thread they wanted the Phoenicians and the Etruscans - I think those areas are already way too crowded!

Some civs don't have two unique units - sorry for that, please give me ideas!

you have made my day
the mediterranean was by far my favorite scenario from Civ II and was very disappointed to only find earth this time around.
