Other info:
1. We did our best to have the map as close to reality as possible.
2. Natural and luxury resources are generally seldom found. You may have problems in securing a necessary amount in the game.
3. There are more forested areas on the map than there are in XX-century Poland. The reason: the game begins in 4000 BC, and, as you might know, even some 1000 years ago the majority of Poland was covered by forests.
4. What has not been done according to the actual state of things:
- because some bonus resources are non-existent in Poland, we devised substitutes. And so:
- wines represent the biggest orchard agglomerations
- spice represents salt
- silk represents flax (linen)
- incense represents tobacco
- saltpeter represents sulfur
- there is no ivory
- gems represent amber
- two additional uranium resources
- three additional saltpeter/sulfur resources
- placing some aluminum resources (non-existent in Poland)
- placing some rubber resources (non-existent in Poland)
5. The rules have been slightly modified, as we wanted some resources to be placed on plains and grasslands.
6. The 19 Goodie huts and 21 Barbarian Camps represent the remnants of prehistoric and ancient human settlements in the area of Poland.
