Thanks AlmightyBob. You're right historically, the horses shouldn't have been in America. My only excuse is for the Iroquois, whose Unique Unit requires horses (and is useless once magnetism (sail ocean) is discovered). So that effectively makes removes their Unique Units from the game. So with the horses, I was thinking more game balance rather than historically accuracy. Nevertheless, the more I think about it... let the Iroquois suffer.
Regarding resources, chances are there will be 16+ civilizations playing on this map in most games, so I didn't see 11-20 (divided in say about 5 groups of 4) as easy to acquire that resource by any means. Finding even 1 of the 5 civs who have it would be hard enough, much less hoping they haven't traded their extras away by the time you meet them. And some, such as the Ivory, I left in 1 group & only in Africa (except 1 elephant I put in India for Gandi - Mr.WarElephant). As someone stated in another thread oil was quite abundanent at 1 time. Nevertheless, I don't mind any of the changes you made either. Glad you put in the goody huts & barbarian tribes too.

Never mind. Just downloaded the first one and it was the update.
My only problem is - where is the oil in Texas? Even our fine President,  , got his money from oil in Texas.

There are 3 to download:
1st one - Bob
2nd one - Pyrodrew
3rd one - Bob
The 3rd one is just an empty ocean map. Not sure what happened there. Bob?
The 2nd one I know there was oil in Alaska & Saudi Arabia... and I put oil in Texas. Russia has heavy oil reserves too & I put 2 there.

Just one question; is the Civ3 Huge map bigger then the Civ2 (regular, not GE) huge map? Looking at those screenshots, it doesn't seem to be....can someone tell me the exact number of squares for the L and W for both of them so I can compare them? Thanks a bunch.

I downloaded and tried to open it in my editor but nothing showed up. Could you post the download again if this is happening to other people?
Also, how many people does this map support, it seems a lot smaller than the huge map that comes with the game, especially alaska! heh

But horses (along with all other large animals) were eliminated from the North American continent before 4000 BC. This was one of the primary reasons, according to Jared Diamond in his book Guns, Germs and Steel, why most of the Native Americans never developed beyond hunter-gathers, even though most in the NE became sedintary.
But once horses arived from Europe those same natives were just as fast as anyone in assimilating them into their culture - eliminating the racist argument.

just tried out your map, great work
There is just one thing: when I start a game using your map, the lines between the advances in the science advisor screen is all messed up. There are just a bunch of grey lines going nowhere in particular.
Anyone else experienced this?

That problem with the tech tree happens in ALL custom scenarios/maps that I have seen... you can't make a custom map or screen that this problem doesn't pop up!
It's a problem with Civ3 the game, not with Bob's map!!!

Ok, I was afraid of that. Nothing to do, but wait for the patch then I guess.
They better clean up this mess, not much point in trying to make custom stuff when it breaks parts of the game even if you do nothing wrong!!

Of course since the Fascist Patch changes the core rules and isn't a map or scenario, my Fascist Patch still has a very intact tech tree!!!

I like the map of AlmightyBob very much . The only problem are the starting locations. So I made 4 savegames, where you can start for America, Russia, England or Germany. You and the other three nations start there at the "right" location.
