Incredible.....
As reviewed by Emperor Dracula.
Graphics:
Looks like the west.....
A perfect recreation of the Western Hemisphere. Rendered with incredibly detailed shorelines, mountains, forests, and lakes. The rain forest looks dense, the northern most shoreline is a fine scattering of islands, and the great lakes are even recreated as perfectly as the map size would allow. I left nothing to chance. I went for total accuracy.
Mechanics:
Smooth as silk.....
Everything works very smooth. All areas of the map can be accessed. The AI is fully functional. Copy the map files into the "Levels" directory.
Gameplay:
Move south.....
You'll start out in Alaska, and then have to work your way down. Can you conquer the entire Western Hemisphere? Each start point has 9 ore deposits under it. These should be enough to get you through a game. For hard core multi-day players, best to just play "Uncle Sam" mode. Also, each start point has an artifact that makes all land visible, so you'll know right away where everything is. The enemy will still be "Fogged Out". Be aware the Panama Canal is missing. I did this so ALL land units could cross Central America. Also, there are two "roads" through the rain forest so the AI won't get stuck. You can make use of these to.
Overall:
My second Earth map.....
As you can see this map is extremely realistic. This is a 3rd generation map for me. First, came fictional maps. Next came maps of real places. Now, perfect recreations of real places. Expect many more super precise maps of real world locations over the coming weeks.
Story:
Once upon a time.....
Leave no enemy army standing!
