This is a 160x160 Civ3 map of Venus, based on radar scans
of that planet's surface. It works best with 8-16 civs.

I put sea level at the median height, so that means roughly 50%
of the map is sea and 50% is land. This in turn means that there
is more land available for a normal map of this size, so I increased
the optimal number of cities so that you can create big empires
without suffering from crippling corruption. This is the only
rule change.

Terrain and resources follow Earth standards, although this
could never be considered truly "realistic" (coal and oil deposits
would be hard to explain even on a terraformed Venus).

Have fun!
