[Show full description]

Start in the stone age with your tribe and advance through the ages researching technologies and building wonders you deem necessary for your cause. Engage in farming, hunting, mining, trading and pick a good government to maximize income. I wasn't sure how far back to go on the logs so I just went with 7.5 which was when the first changes were made to turn this map from crappy into good. I've worked on it on and off through the years and for over a year we had a successful online (b.net) ladder system for the map which over a thousand players participated in.
Oh yea, worth noting the original map was very crappy/buggy and not placed much when I noted the maps potential and began to rewrite basically the entire code reading through it countless times in my quest for perfection. A few others took the liberty of modifying an out of date version of the map and creating some version 8, 9's and 10 maps which completely sucked. Anyway without further ado here is a mostly complete log of version changes:

(Full Change Log Below Detailing all 21 versions to date.)

Be sure to check out the UMS Ladder for this map: http://z14.invisionfree.com/Civ_World_League/

We are in our 2nd Ladder Season :-).

Civilization 7.5 Changes
11/23/06
-Removed ALL comments from the map saving 100's of strings for use on other fixes/changes to the map.
-Completely reworked the Mission Objectives and Mission Briefing to reflect accurate material and remove some dubious credits from very old/early versions of the map.
-Redid Map Properties Box and Title Property to reflect new version information.
-Removed Both mountain walls separating North Africa and South Africa as it didn't make much sense to be honest.
-Minor Terrain cleaning up done in Africa, also gave Egypt another sliver of land to make building/moving in Egypt slightly easier.
11/25/06
-Moved some Frigates farther north and south of England to give English player more options to safely expand with their slow overlords to.
-Increased Babylonian Crossbowman HP by +10 and attack by +1
-Changed cash for Big Game kills. First 30 give 25 Minerals, next 30 give 30 minerals and the last 60 give 35 minerals as before.
-Changed cash for Buffalo kills. First 30 give 25 Minerals, next 30 give 30 minerals and the last 60 give 35 minerals as before.
-Changed cash for Predator kills. First 30 give 25 Minerals, next 30 give 30 minerals and the last 60 give 35 minerals as before.
-Changed cash for Wild Game kills. First 30 give 25 Minerals, next 30 give 30 minerals and the last 60 give 35 minerals as before.
-Reduced all critters HP to 70 in the name of equality, and also to reflect the fact they start off worth alot less.
-Terrain improvements in California and Central America allowing for more access between places there. (Most notably the mineral next to the bridge doesn't block access between N.A. and S.A. Continental)
-Removed two high ground sunkens in California, cleaned up some stray high ground to make entering California easier.

Civilization 7.6 Changes:
12/27/06
-Fixed Invulnerable Auto Cannon Between Russia and Mongols.
-Reduced Redcoat HP from 150 to 142 to better balance Redcoats. Their +3 attack and longer range than Musketmen give them enough of an advantage without extra HP.
-Computer Frigate guards at overseas trade locations reduced to one per to minimize damage to new players stumbling around with transports and to make them easier to take early in the game.
-Added Preserve Trigger to the Drone Buyer Trigger for all players. (whoops, dunno how that has been missed so long).
-Changed delays and order on non chosen civs hatcheries getting replaced to hopefully avoid placement errors.
-Changed Tribute/Donation so that you get a message when someone donates to you and its not just anonymous as it was previously. (It was kinda tricky since any attempt to change locations in a trigger currently crashes the editor, but I managed ;-) )
-Fixed Player Six Triggers for giving tribute, was previously broken (Both for giving Oil and Minerals).
-Reduced the cost of buying drones at the top from 250 to 100 to give people a better chance to come back when they lose their workers.
-Removed rocks in Greenland allowing for space to build in all of that isle.
-Removed some rocks in northern Canada so that in late game you can make a CC up there for harvesting the oil more effectively. Also allows for building up there early potentially. Still mostly rocks in that region though.
-Made the revolution triggered events more consistent. A revolt based on having 8 civil unrest now drops your civil unrest back down to four after the revolt takes effect. Previously it removed all eight of your Civil Unrest when a Revolt Occured.
-Removed Fanatics from the consequences of a Revolution (Suiciders).
-Fixed Corruption Revolt, previously it only caused a revolt once, now it can happen multiple times. When Corruption triggers a revolt all Corruption is reset and government is sent into anarchy.
-Made Hanging Gardens more efficient and set to expire as soon as ANYONE gets into the industrial age.
-Made Cure for Cancer work MUCH more effectively!
-Temples (Remove Civil Unrest) expire once you reach the industrial age.
-Stadiums and Cathedrals work more consistently now.
-Fixed Bug where having 3 Cathedrals or 3 Stadiums would allow you to eliminate your Civil Unrest one per second until it completely disappeared.
-Corrected a bug with donating oil that required you to have 700 oil in order to donate 500 oil. You now only need 500 oil in order to donate 500 oil. Also the player your donating too will now receive a message telling them what you have donated to them.
-Your government, not just getting your special every turn, is now collapsed when you lose your government building. The consequences of collapse are...catastrophic... your thrown into anarchy government for starters. You lose 18 men to the computer, and have six buildings taken by the computer as well.
-NOTE Communism is not immune to this form of revolt... you MUST have two factories to keep your Communist government from revolting. It requires two because you get a free one up top that is impossible to lose. So be careful not to switch to Communism when you only have one factory or you'll just be paying alot of money to lose alot of units and buildings and switch to anarchy.
-Made some minor fixes to critter spawns. 10 Seconds between critter spawns at locations now.
-Invincible Medic Bug is FIXED!!! (Yes, for real this time)
-Fixed an issue with Republic and what building is required to get and maintain it.
-Removed a random +4 minerals a second for not having anarchy as it really served no point.
-Made the Forum Link/Ladder Plug thing appear four times during the game so people are more likely to see it and check it out :-).
-Added in a few sunkens and some autos at places they were missing.
-Changed it so if you start the game with no opponents you can now play around for 10 minutes before winning. (For those who want to practice their start strat.. or just look at a side).
-Shifted Babylon and Egyptian farm locations so there is more room for a second hatchery should those players desire to make one early.

Civilization 7.7 Changes:
01/02/07
-Fixed beacons missing because of a map protector error by using a better and different map protector.
01/04/07
-Deleted one Hydralisk from Iceland
-Switched to using SCM Draft 2.0 Editor in hopes of avoiding some of the errors encountered currently in X-Tra editor.
-Added a Hydralisk to Borneo Island
-Removed a Hydralisk from Switzerland
-Disabled COP's so that tribute beacons cannot be moved onto the map.
-Factories can now be moved from East to West using the "teleporters that connect the map making it round. A factory being a building that produces units. (Obviously the only buildings that will fit in this category to move are cc's, barracks, factories and starports).
-Optimized some of palace and courthouse corruption reduction triggers.
-Modified Version Information in Briefing.
-Doubled the number of Space Colonies allowed from 30 to 60.
-Additional 30 second delay now before Chinese and English get their extra 200 minerals.
-Cost of Isaac Newton College Reduced to 4,000 from 5,000.
-Switching to Anarchy will now cost you 1,000 so it is no longer free to "cheaply switch" to anarchy to avoid a pending revolt.
-Anarchy switching also no longer eliminates existing corruption and unrest.
-Colossus cost reduced from 3,000 to 2,500 hopefully making it more worthwhile sometimes.
-Corrected Radar Tech cost Information.
-Manhattan Project wonder cost fixed, should have been 5,000 but it was actually 6,000.
-Fixed Great Pyramids so that they expire as soon as someone enters the Imperial Age. (Anyone, not just the owner of the Great Pyramids).
-Increased the time players see new player information help at start so it is easier to read.
-Buffalo near Sioux start location are now more adept at avoiding hunters.
-Removed some rough terrain from Australia so that more can be built on it.
-Removed Frigates from southernmost beacons to cross the map on since they are rarely used and to offer one way to cross map without getting hit by white frigates.
-Removed the high ground terrain on Madagascar.
-Hydralisk Den (Temple) build time cut in half.
-200 Seconds taken off hatchery, Lair and Hive build times.
-Sunken Mineral cost reduced from 175 to 150.
-Added some more map revealers along the top so whole tech tree was clearly visible.

7.7B Changes
-Player Six had burrow default researched... that problem is now fixed.
-Fixed the Infantry spawning in Egypt occasionally bug. It was caused by two triggers using the same location at the same time... this resulted in units being created in Egypt (dead center on map) but the bug is fixed now as I managed to re-use the nation picking start locations to replace the over-used trigger when Musketmen are replaced by Infantry. EDIT: Was even more complicated than that.. their was a 3rd overlapping simultaneous trigger but it is now not simultaneous thanks to a fix by me. The Infantry in Egypt bug is now officially squashed for good :-) (Was a bug for players 5, 6, and 7 apparently editor locked a while back when I was halfway fixing that bug initially and I never re-fixed it for the last few players.)
-Updated Version Information in Appropriate places on the map to reflect it being 7.7B
-Removed the information on Civ World Ladder that showed 30 seconds in as that time is usually too chaotic to read it anyway. The message still plays at 2, 6 and 12 minutes.
-Computer's Transports are now disabled (destroyed) if they attempt to head to the top to get the invulnerable medic into the action on the world map.
-Belgium Beacon range to build in for control of that territory is now extended.
-Star Cruisers (5), Star Fighters (5), and Starships (5) can destroy a space colony every 20 seconds provided the Target Selector in the Tribute area is on the target's tribute beacon and the target has no nano-age warships of their own to defend their colonies.
-China and England's extra 200 cash is now delayed 60 seconds, giving everyone essentially a fair shot at the Pyramids.
-Fixed the Russian MiG special which previously wasn't upgrading to Star Fighters when the Russian player reached the Nano Age.
-Fixed bugs with Space Colonies not warping into space in an always expedient manner.
-Widened path from Turkey to Europe for logistical reasons.
-Replaced vespene guysers so that their locations to build on them show exactly over them and their not off center anymore.
-Replaced alot of beacons in an attempt to keep the protector from removing some of them when its compressing. (Mainly seemed to be an issue with some capital beacons (territories)
-Moved Vulture near China farther away from it so it very unlikely any chinese player will accidentally get a free critter to scout with.
-Fixed disappearing issue that a few beacons (territories) were having.
-Removed a long pointless message when entering modern age about a feature the game has never had. (Ability to remove creep stuff and get refunded 1/2 being the mentioned feature).
-Various Minor fixes thanks largely to my testers :-).
-All Countries now only have one special at most. This freed up some locations and put specials even more in the background... where they should be except for the times (if you make it to them) when they are useful.
Specials Removed Include: American F22, Russian MiG, German Stuka, Babylonian Fanatic, English Man'O'War.
-Fixed Marco Polo's Bug where it didn't expire until you went to Modern. It now expires when anyone does.
-Selectors at the top are now removed when a player exits, this includes selectors in the tribute area and will prevent people's guys from becoming stuck in units the computer controls.
-Fixed Errors on Government Info about when your army size caused a revolt.

7.7C Fixes:
-Updated Version information to reflect 7.7C.
-Selector in Nano Age Problem Fixed which was caused by the removal trigger for comp selectors to help clear up the top when people surrender.
-Colossus text on cost corrected to show the new cost of 2,500 on the Info.
-English Man'O'war Unit is now removed as it was previously thought to be (Forgot to remove one of the triggers relating to it before).
-Fixed a Bug with the Pyramids they now expire in the correct age (Imperial) when anyone reaches it.
-The Colossus now expires when anyone reaches the Imperial Age.

7.7D Fixes:
-Fixed a bug with British where their warships didn't upgrade into Frigates.

7.8 Changes:
-Fixed a bug where having enough corruption and unrest could prevent you from getting the defeat screen at the end.
-China and England's extra 200 Cash is now delayed 1 Minute and 20 seconds after they pick their country so that everyone now has a fair shot at the Pyramids again.
-All Countries now start out with 2 Farms.
-Cleaned up some high ground terrain near Mongolia making the area in general more accessible.
-Removed one Sunken from the California area.
-Made Florida bigger in part so the auto-cannon in Florida is not quite so deadly.
-Cuba is now big enough to build on.
-Iceland is now big enough to build on.
-Appalachian Mountain range moved farther east to give Americans a decent amount of "start area"
-Minor changes to South America terrain.
-Removed a few doodads from Tibet allowing more buildings to be placed up there.
-Terrain changes in Siberia region...trees removed as well as some of the jungle, replaced with more realistic dirt terrain.
-Cleaned up terrain in the tech area... less dots and more uniform now.
-Some of the rocks in Africa west of Egypt were removed to allow players more places to build on that continent and potentially offer a cramped Egypt some extra space early.
-Fixed problem where sometimes wonders were not -rebuyable by anyone after someone left the game that had them.
-The Overlord Speed Upgrade now takes five seconds to research, allowing drops much earlier once you hit the Imperial Age.
-All Nine hunting critter areas will now spawn once every 25 seconds at all hunting locations equally (Unless their are 10 or more of them their already).
-Critters at all location roam AI: Junkyard Dog upon a player sending a unit into the location where they breed (spawn).
-Burrow removed to Prevent Stack Exploiting, hero units burrow was also removed, thanks to Moogle for the tip on getting it removed.
-Updated Version Information at Appropriate places in the Briefing.
-Base Communism Income is now +4 (+12 essentially once you have your eight factories) so that getting to Industrial and Communism first won't give quite as huge of a cash advantage as early. (In addition to its large army max size allowance)
-Anarchy now has an army limit of 100 and similar penalty for going over it to other governments.
-Farms now blow up even once someone reaches the Industrial Age as it was unfair to give everyone else farms that didn't die for being behind in tech.
-Fixed some errors in the text about army max sizes in 7.7D.
-American Marines stats changed to 225 HP, 8 Armor and 25 Damage giving them a solid edge over normal marines (firebats 170/5/24).
-Removed a few doodads from Tibet.
-Minerals south of Egypt are now slightly closer to it.
-Germany has been moved south so that they start in what is more like Central Europe. This is to put some distance between them and Russia and to offer them more options for expansion and defense.
-Terrain changes in Africa, West Africa is no longer blocked up from Egypt area by High Ground/Mineral wall.
-Parisian (Lurker) Unit removed from Techs as with burrow disabled it is now completely useless.
-Turret stats changed, HP reduced from 500 to 400, armor up from 2 to 10 and Damage up from 65 to 80.
-Indo China/Vietnam area is now not as narrow of a choke point since realistically it shouldn't prevent any units from going through on it.
-All Civs start sunkens (Forts) start at 50% HP.
-English cash bonus at 1:20 changed to 400 since they now have very hard odds to get Pyramids, and due to their economic specilization.
-Removed Diplomacy from the Mission Objectives title because I always thought it was a dumb thing to have in front of the title since this isn't a diplomacy map per say. (Just always forgot to change it)

Civilization World 7.9.3
05/10/07
-Fixed Fog of war, correct start area for Germany is now revealed on Fog and the old one is under fog of war.

-Stone Age Info Help Datadisk trigger is now complete offering all info on that age so that other disks could be removed and locations can be saved to be used elsewhere.

-Moved the Advance Info Locations for all ages to adjust for the shift of units and buildings.

-Removed guards at Southwest expansion and replaced with a bunker to give Egypt a sunken expansion option aside from breaking down the one between them and Babylon.
-Weakened guards at the expansion NE of Germans removing some units, throwing in a bunker and making it a more viable early expansion target. Other guards moved to the bridge East of it.

A player's capital will be indicated by the cocoon at that location becoming there side's color. Capitals should be placed to prevent any placement errors from things spawning at a player's capital.
-Added in a new trigger to account for when a player has no capital under the new capitals system for P1-P8.
-Fixed a bug that could prevent someone playing as England's crossbowmen from upgrading into Musketmen.
-a Communist Government now has a revolt triggered if they have less than four factories (armories). Previously it was too hard to collapse a Communist government by getting them down to one factory.
-Increased Republic income from +5 per second to +6 per second.
-Removed the center location trigger when someone builds a Democratic Assembly (Spire) changed to a minimap ping.
-Army size unrest spawn once a timer for a player with over 50 men on the World Map. Previously it was for 10 men, later unrest spawns for armies over 100 and 160 Men. Doesn't apply to non-anarchy governments.
-All critter (hunting) spawns now spawn equally and work. Problem previously was when a string limit was hit in an older editor causes some of the triggers to stop working.
-Reworked all of the Force 1 Triggers involving Republic.
-Reworked P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, and P8 Capital Triggers.
-Removed unreliable exactly from some triggers causing size corruption penalties.
-Added a preserve trigger to the penalty for having 7 Civil Unrest.

(04/10/09)
-Fixed the mysterious P6 bug where P7 musketmen and a calvary sometimes spawned at P6 barracks trying to make more marines.
-Archer Range increased has been pushed back to a Medieval Age improvement by increasing the gas cost instead of the Iron Age.
-Added some Industrial Age looking wheels next to the beacon before you advance to the Industrial Age.
-Reduced the Nano Age Leaderboard wait time so that game stats will cycle through more quickly.
-Fixed a minor Modern Age Information typo.
-Removed annoying map re-centers when you advance to the Iron Age, Medieval Age, Imperial Age, Industrial Age, Modern Age, Space Age and Nano Age replacing them with mini-map pings.
-Fixed the bug where farms didn't die once any player got to the Industrial Age. They will now continue to need to be re-planted until you personally get to the Industrial Age.
-Fixed a minor bug that might allow someone to finish a palace slightly early.
-Renamed buildings adding in information to show what they give in resources or explain if they help against Corruption or Unrest to help new players and forgetful vets alike.

04/25/09

04/29/09

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Civilization World 7.9.8 Log:
05/03/09

05/07/09
-Fixed the text information for Advanced Flight removing the inaccuracy when you got it which said it allowed control tower which you could already build.

-Moved the Iron Age Datadisk and location so they are more easily seen.

- Added in messages for players with a selector over a government location they don't have the tech for.
