9/1/24 MOD CHALLENGE: If you have Civilization 6 and know how to make mods for it, check my top comment for details on my idea for fixing Gathering Storm's climate change problem. (I would make this mod myself if i knew how.) If you build it & put it on Steam Workshop, please message me; as soon as i know about it, i will fave & sub it immediately. Of course i will also play-test it A LOT & then let you know how well it works!

2/22/22 at 2:22 am I downloaded and installed Civ VI Dev Tools in hopes of releasing my Alpha Centauri Map for Civ 6 on the 8th anniversary of the release of the same map for Civ 5 but unfortunately, i cannot get ModBuddy to work for even a project as simple as taking a single map file and making a mod with it that can be uploaded to Steam Workshop. This means that my Archipelago Duel map for Civ 6 also won't be created (unless someday i decide to make it for myself). However, if anyone reading this wants to try my Alpha Centauri Map, pm me with an e-mail address and i'll attach the map file to my e-mail to you. That's only necessary for Civ 6; my maps for Civ 5 are still available on Steam Workshop!

Since 2014, Archipelago Duel for Civ 5 is on Steam Workshop! It was originally intended to be a custom map for England vs. Japan because both of those civs would be at a severe disadvantage if played on a True Start Location Earth map (which was my norm for most games when i played Civ 5). During my testing of the original duel map, the expansion that introduced Indonesia (BNW?) came out, which brought to my attention that Indonesia is "in the same boat" with England & Japan and should be included in my scenario. To address this, i went "back to the drawing board" and built a 4-player map with the Celts also added as the 4th player. Though not technically a Duel map anymore, when the Celts & England civs inevitably team up against Indonesia & Japan, it still feels like a duel game, so i decided to keep the word Duel in the name of my official Steam Workshop entry.

On 2/22/14 i uploaded Alpha Centauri's Map of Planet to Steam Workshop. It's an exact replica of the original game's Map of Planet copied tile-by-tile to Civ5's WorldBuilder to make it playable on Civ 5.
