Ahem...

Thanks for downloading the newest version of the largest map of Europe for Civilization 3.

The featured civilizations are:

Vikings (new)
Germans
English
French
Dutch (new)
Russians
Kievites (new)
Poles (new)
Hungarians (new)
Greeks
Romans
Spanish (new)
Ottomans (new)
Israelites (new)
Egyptians
Carthaginians (new)

The map is of the giga size, 256*256 tiles, which gives plenty of room to build your empire (although the city limits might be possible limitations..) Also, don't despair when you don't see any rubber on the map; you don't need any. I omitted this resource because having rubber in Europe wouldn't make too much sense. I don't think this will unbalance the game. If you wonder why you can't sail the oceans the answer is simple; I don't want you to!. This is simply to prevent people from sailing from the eastern edge of Russia to the Atlantic. I am aware that there is software available to implement a real flat map. I'll consider using that for a following version.

I hope you enjoy playing the map. If you have questions or bug reports, contact me at the appropriate thread on the Apolyton forums or directly via norrmeister@hotmail.com
