The World is on Fire
So you guessed it. The world really is on fire. But why? Let's take a look at this map:
Yes, this world is on FIRE. Filled to the point there's no ownerless land left. Filled with 180 greedy, backstabbing, evil, merciless civilizations. WELL, it may not be on fire YET, but sparks certainly flying. Let's check out a chart so you can see what all those crazy colors signify:
There it is. All 180 of them. Refer to this if you have no idea which civ is which, or if you need a guide as to finding your favorite civs on the massive map.
Ok, so the point of this is to basically witness the history of this new world, and see how everything plays out. I love maps so this is fun for me to do, and i decided to add a twist to give the civs a bit more character to make them seem less than just colors on a map.
What my idea here is a technology race. The tech leaders advance 1 point every TU, and the rest shuffle about to catch up, and what happens on the map can mean rise and fall on the tech race. Now, given that all the settling is completed, we are somewhere in the mid ancient age. I'll place us at TU (Time Unit) 15, out of 25 for the Ancient Age.
The most recent tech race data is from TU14 so the tech leaders are at 14. Their most recent technology is Iron Working. According to the map, we are at 15, so they would have writing (try to imagine that. This will be a lot more organized later. This is the first post, so everything is jumbled up, but later on, there will be a map and a major events thing for each TU and a tech race data update will occur ever 2 TUs)
So, in the data we have:
-14-
Bohemia

Okay so there you can see where each civ stands technologically and later on, when things really erupt, there will be a section for alliances and groups civs form but for now its still very early for that kind of stuff.
I know this comes off a bit odd, and very confusing, but this was the first post and i needed to get all of the explaining out of the way. It will catch on, i promise. Soon enough you might memorize each civ's colors and location on the map like me.
Anyway, i hope you enjoy this, and don't be deterred by confusion, just ask and i will help you understand everything!

but I am still a little confused. I get that this is a story and you are not playing the game. But are you using ANY random mechanics - even rolling dice - to decide some of this? Very interesting story, just curious. 
Love the map!
