In this scenario, you must test out your skills on a Huge map against fifteen opponents. Will you still be able to rush your nearest neighbor, as you're used to doing on a smaller map? Will corruption rip your sprawling empire apart? Will tech progress be fast or slow? And, most importantly, will you have the patience to complete this mammoth (yet epic) game? The answers lie herein...
Here are some of the scenario variables (others will be revealed in-game):
World size: Huge (duh)
Water coverage: 70%
Land form: Continents
This scenario may be played either with stock Civ3 or the Play the World expansion. In the former case, you can pick among the following civs:
Aztecs
Egyptians
French
Russians
If you use Play the World, the following two civs are also open to you:
Carthage
Spain
All civs are equally good choices!
The file at the end of this post contains three versions for the game: Civ3 1.29, Play the World 1.14 and the AU mod for Play the World 1.17. For reasons I prefer not to go into here, I am not able to supply a 1.21 version of the Play the World files. This is unfortunate, and I am sorry. There are two solutions: someone could upgrade the scenario files for me and post them here, or people could just downgrade to Play the World 1.14 for this game. Sir Ralph has provided a method for doing a dual install (1.14/1.21), which may be found here.
Help each other learn! As your game progresses, please post your comments in the spoiler/strategy/hints thread. You are also expected to provide a full report with screenshots when you're done (which may take a while!).
