ICE-AGE Scenario - version 1.0


"What if Civilization and Technology had developed 
many, many thousands of years earlier, 
in the middle of the Last Full Ice-Age, 
when there were very few open bodies of water, 
and land masses were connected by Vast Ice Sheets
or low-lying exposed sea-bed thus denying the various 
Branches of Humanity the luxury of geographic isolation 
and so forcing them to interract (for good or ill) ?"

This scenario was mainly developed so that I could fit in a whole heap of extra land & air units (and because sometimes I get irritated with having to
load units onto and off boats, and without having to send those boats wandering all around the world.

Then I got to thinking about the ice-age and the mass human migrations that occurred around that time.

See ICE_UNITS.XLS for details as to all the new and modified Units.

SeeICETERRN.XLS for details as to the new and changed terrain parameters.

Note that Ice-Sheet and Scree only give a 50% defense bonus, not 100% as before (so don't get caught out on the ice or in a scree field and get attacked.)

Rain-forest is a sort of "Super" forest yielding 2 food units and 2 shield units, but travel is compromised / is harder than normal forest.

Note also that, as with the geography of the earth for the last 60,000 years, some terrain changes are possible...

Lastly Note : The scenario is not designed to be played as the Egyptians
 (since they seem to have a natural advantage)
