Anyone who is willing to playtest a new version TCW is welcome to contact me. Much of the civilopedia data is still missing, balance would likely require further tweaking, but the scenario itself and the features I wanted to include should be totally playable.

Known issues:
- Civilopedia entries are still incomplete;
- Some units are probably not as cost-effective as others available to the same civ at the same time;
- Some sides are definitely weaker than the others and I have no idea how to strengthen them based on their real world situation in 1950's;
- City limit has been reached, populating empty areas in Africa and South America would require deleting some of the existing citites;

Lionic, great that you are still working on the update of TCW. 
When starting the new update I had a confusion in the labels text. Have you created the update with the steam version of Civ complete ?
May be you should consider to include a version of the standard techtrees with enlarged start of some of the arrows in it, so gaps of arrows starting not in techboxes (as per example by the tech WWII Equipment in your screenshot) triggered by different sizes of those techboxes due to their contents, can be avoided.
This said, I still like the alternative huge map concept (11.06.2007) from the TCW Fifties scenario at the former SOC site much more than the older TCWFifties map of that scenario. So the TCWFifties map has some more place for the wars in Korea and Vietnam, the concept map has a much better placement of cities in central Europe - and in my eyes this was the most import hotspot of the cold war. So the 11.06.2007 map is only a concept without any real placement of starting units, I attache here the biq, so it is not lost during the decades.

Hey Civinator! I am using the GOG build. Do those issues arise from the long name of some Civs? I could not think of shorter names for Anticolonial Movement (a combination of old Cuba+Central Africa civs) or Spain-Portugal-Greece.
I have made one of my earlier attempts to create "A Cold War of my dream" using the world map you've provided (it's the same as WWII global with some different city placement, isn't is?)--I might try and convert it to my current rules set should there be demand for it--it seems some people prefer a smaller maps for quicker games. City limit always causes empty areas somewhere i.e. in Africa.
I am sorry that my tech tree is not neat. I will try to draw something better in the future.

I have not noticed that Anticolonial Movement is a civ. In that case the issues arise from too long names of civs.
Yes, it is.
This can be fixed very easily. Enlarge the tech arrows at the start so they meet the conditions if only one item is placed in that techbox. Now if that techbox for some civs contains 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 items, the box is simply growing along that arrow.

Merry Christmas to fellow Civfanatics! Version 1.6.3 of TCW is up. I call it an experimental version because it finally includes features from Flintlock's patch (C3XR20) not all of which were tested properly. You need to download the main version 1.6.12 available in Post 1, then you need to download the version 1.6.3 from the link below.
