TSL Earth Wishlist

[I was NC]

French and Italians are much, much more closely related than Maurya are to Chola or either are to Mughals. Maurya, Chola, and Mughals don't even share a language family, not even distantly, and the distance from Rome to Rouen is less than half the distance from to Patliputra to Gaṅgaikoṇḍa Chōḻapuram or from Gaṅgaikoṇḍa Chōḻapuram to New Delhi.

Wasn't saying Italy - France is the worst, just is an example I know (unlike those others).

Personally, I love playing Civ 6 with Giant TSL maps (Play the World, Viking Giant Map 150x94) and especially South American and Native American civilizations as well as the exotic Maoris, for example! I even hope that we can play on maps like Genghis Map (180x94) or more! Fortunately we have great Moders like Gédémons or Sukritact who should offer us, if Civ 7 Allows it, maps worthy of the name! I am French and what horrified me the most on Civ 6 was to make France with only 2 or 3 cities (The Genghis map allowed to have at least 5 or 6 Cities on the territory, as well as in the British Isles). In short, see it on February 11 to get an idea!

I wonder if it'd be possible (for either a True Start Earth map or any other map type) to have civs on the Homeland and Distant Lands be from different Ages.
I'd love a game mode in which no civs spawn in the Distant Lands until the Homelands enter the Explorations Age, but the civs in the Distant Lands then belong to Antiquity.

For example, imagine being the Spanish sailing across the ocean and coming across the Maya and the Mississippi.
Then after the Age transition, the Spanish might evolve into America, their new capital on the Distant Lands, and the Mississippi evolve into the Shawnee.
There Age disparity would remain, even though the Americans are then also on the Distant Lands.
The Distant Land civs would probably have to not be eligible to win

I think it'd be fun

My favourite scenario back in Civ4 was Rhye's and Fall of Civilization. It was basically a TLS map and you began playing as one of the oldest, or "ancient", civilizations that were on the game. Then, as you progressed, you could turn into "newer" civilizations by events or by controlling land that belonged to the "new" civilization you wanted to change into. Even the names of the cities changed by default and corresponded to the geographical location were you settled your cities.

I think that, with Civ7's Era System and Civ Transitions, as well as Narrative Events, new version of this TLS scenario could be made for the game.

I also played Rhye's and Fall on Civ 4, and it's one of my best memories, I even made a site at the time to help novices with this mod, one of the best ever created and which served as the basis for many other mods in versions 5 and 6 of Civ!

Another fun game mode would be a True Start Year Earth map, a la Crusader Kings III
Every piece of land would be occupied, either by one of the civs, with the approximate territory that they held in that year, or by Independent Powers, renamed for this mode if need be.
Instead of exploring, the whole map would be revealed from the start.
Moreover, starting in certain years would mean that you start already at war.
E.g., if you play as America in a 1942 start, you'd begin already at War with "Prussia" and "Meiji Japan"
We'd almost certainly have to wait until more civs are added to each age before this would be viable, but Firaxis should make it happen as soon as possible

Those are just scenarios.

I see 2 TSLs
1. a Map, where each Starting civ (regardless of what era you start in) has a location for it.
2. a mod where you use the above map, but the only unlock conditions for each civ is having a City in certain regions of the map.
