Original Concept
I once had the idea to make a civilization-type map on Warcraft III. I had it planned so that cities would be effectively demi-heroes, with population represented in level. Culture, production and health would be represented through the default Strength, Agility and Intelligence.
Everything, from units to buildings would be 'produced' in the city. The problem I found was that it wouldn't work well in an RTS like Warcraft III because you'd have to micromanage the production of cities constantly. So I settled for something much different so the gameplay would not be crippled.
Instead, workers build buildings rather than cities although they still have their function of harnessing resources. Technology is researched in buildable buildings like in Civilization Wars and the techs are listed in tiers for easier use and management.
Key Features
- More realistic income system, and it has more strategic potential than pretty much all income systems.
- Ingame a trigger detects and boots Nerzhulen if he even tries to play the game.
- A choice of 53 civilizations across 12 players.
- Ability to research your way from the dawn of Civilization to the Future Era.
- Merchant system
- Vassal State system
- Civics System
Production
Production still exists, albeit in a very different form. Military buildings (barracks, shipyards, airfields) take up 1 production (food). All players start off with one food (which is taken by the starting barracks) and can get more by researching certain techs such as pottery and building certain buildings such as forges. There is a limit to production, so this forces players to prioritize, as units aren't instantly created when ordered.
Income
Income is more complex than normal. You get 100 gold income by default and on top of that you get 'city' income. This income is as follows:
Village - 15 gold
Large Village - 20 gold
Town - 25 gold
Large Town - 30 gold
City - 35 gold
Large City - 40 gold
All of these properties cost 80 gold to upgrade and all require a certain technology to upgrade (e.g. in order to upgrade a village into a large village you need Agriculture, and to upgrade a city into a large city you need electricity).
More significantly however you are penalized by how many 'properties'. The formula is (DefaultCityIncome - ( NumberOfProperties ^ 2 ). This means if you have 20 villages that would give you 300 gold 'default' income, you'd actually receive -100 gold. This encourages upgrading your current cities over expanding amount of cities, by simulating inefficient governance in large empires. This effect is halved when you've researched Economics and is quartered if you adopt Communism.
In addition to this, newly conquered 'properties' do not give you income for 5 minutes after being conquered. In fact they actually serve as a drain on your budget. The newly conquered 'properties' cost you 15 gold.
Geographics and Civs
All players are allocated a rough geographical area for themselves, but otherwise they can choose their civilization which gets it's own starting point. Africa, Middle East, North, Central and South America are fairly self-explanatory. West Europe is the parts of Europe west of Germany. North Europe consists of the British Isles and Scandinavia. Central Europe consists of Germany, the Balkans, the Baltic and Poland. West Asia is geographically the Russian Empire area (excluding Siberia). South Asia is the Indian sub-continent, Eastern Asia is basically everything north of Indo-China. Oceania is Oceania IRL with the addition of Indonesia's area.
Also, everyone starts off allied (but without shared vision). You declare war when you see it suitable.
Resources
Some resources are required for paticular units (for example swordsmen require iron), and some add to your income.
In order to gain access to resources you must build an improvement on them. The following improvements can be built on the following resources:
Mine - Copper, Iron.
Oil Well - Oil.
Camp - Ivory.
Pasture - Horses, Sheep.
Plantation - Sugar, Spices.
Improvements must be built within 1280 range of a building you own.

Civics
There are 2 types of civics: Government and Economic.
For Government there is:
Monarchy (default). +1 gold gained per merchant.
Democracy. -50% corruption penalty.
Dictatorship. +33% corruption, +15% attack speed for units.
For Economy there is:
Free Market (default). +16.6% income & +16.6% corruption
Merchantilism. No merchant trade with other players.
Communism. -50% corruption.
Fascism. +20% unit movement speed.
"-check government civics" to see who has what government civic.
"-check economic civics" to see who has what economic civic.
"-government civics" to change governments civics.
"-economic civics" to change economic civics.
Note that only one person at a time can load the dialog to change civics.
Merchant System
For every merchant that reaches your properties, you gain however much mana it has.
Merchants from Villages start with 1 mana.
Large Villages and Towns start with 2 mana.
Large Towns and Cities start with 3 mana.
Large Cities start with 4 mana.
+1 mana if the recipient has oil.
+1 mana if the recipient has ivory.
+1 mana if the recipient has spices.
+1 mana if the recipient has sugars.
+1 mana if the recipient is under the Monarchy civic.
Occupied properties do not send out merchants, however they can still recieve them.
Players cannot send/recieve merchants with enemies.
Players using the Merchantilism Civic cannot send/recieve merchants with other players.
Nationalities
Not all races and cities have nationalities, but all of those in Europe, Asia and Oceania do. The majority of Civs get their own nationality:
English - England, English Canada.
French - France, French Canada.
Scandinavian - Viking Empire.
Swedish - Sweden.
Spanish - Spain.
Portugese - Portugal.
Italian - Rome.
Polish - Poland.
German - Germany.
Greek - Greece.
Byzantine - Byzantine.
Lithuanian - Lithuania.
Russian - Tsarist Russia, Soviet Union.
Tartar - Scythia.
Arab - Assyria, Arabia, Egypt.
Kazakh - Khazakh Khanate.
Muslim Indian - Mughal Empire, Indus Valley Civilization.
Hindi Indian - Maratha Empire.
Bengali - Vangal Kingdom.
Chinese - China.
Mongol - Mongolia.
Malay - Srivijaya.
Javanese - Java.
Aborigine - Aboriginal Tribes.
Nationalities used to tie in with stability, but now I've removed stability I have no idea what do to with them. If anyone can come up with a decent idea for them, that would be great.

Ships can't attack buildings.
One-city island still build merchants.
Target acquisition ranges don't match the reduced ranges.
There's some lag spikes I suspect are caused by too many merchants spawning and moving at once.
Got a game crash on sending units to the map edges.
Moon Base has no model and can't be selected.
There doesn't seem to be a way to get Tritinium deposits.
Income system should scale better, the penalties make the early game very slow. Most of the time I don't even make contact with other civs until late modern era.
Plantations should use a different model than the plants they're on.
Are merchant ships sent out by cities or shipyards? I've seen both.
Aircraft Carrier planes are too big, and should change model once reaching the future era.
