========================================
Earth Civ2Civ3 Scenario for Freeciv v3.0
========================================

World Map made by Gabriele Trovato (Rhye) for Civ4, converted to Freeciv by Bardo.

Scenario designed to be played with civ2civ3 Ruleset, and 39 nations.
It can also be compatible with classic ruleset, by simply changing this line inside the .sav file:
1) search for: rulesetdir="civ2civ3_earth"
2) change to: rulesetdir="classic"

Objectives:
This scenario tries to include the most representative nations from each continent, specially nations that created the most famous or largest empires of history.
There are 39 nations with starting positions uniformly distributed along the map. They were chosen to get balanced games when all the nations are included, to get AIs expanding around their historical locations, and to encourage battles between nations that were historical enemies.
The map is 124x68, small enough to allow fast games, and big enough to allow some expansion to every nation. With enlarged europe to allow a fun gameplay for various european nations, and with regions historically not populated filled by badlands (tundra, jungles, mountains, artic).
I chose this map because it is, in my opinion, the most accurate world map ever made for a civilization game, and I'd like this scenario to be a tribute to his creator, Rhye.
