Babylon - The Jewel of the East

Last update 08/01/2024
I applied what I believe were the final balance changes. Read change notes for more information. Screenshots are from a test-run from earlier version.

Freeplay scenerio with custom objectives based on the rise and fall of Neo-Babylonian Empire.
Map is HARD and should be played on NORMAL difficulty.

How to play:
- subscribe to my mod
- enable my mod in Nebuchadnezzar mod manager by moving it to the right side (to active mods)
- you may have to restart the game
- now you should see my map in Scenerios menu

Some information about my map:
- big and agriculture-friendly map with city area based on the historical layout of Babylon
- long port-friendly shoreline
- copper, stone and gold deposits are present on the map (but keep in mind that historically Babylonians had to import everything)
- military enabled and required
- import and export prices changed (gold jewels and clothes dyed with Tyrian purple are the most expensive goods, grains are the cheapest)

Tips and suggestions:
- you should lower autosave frequency for smoother gameplay
- pay more attention to disease risk because it takes some time for citizens to move back to the city
- pay more attention to fire risk because the game freezes for a moment when your city is really big
- use diplomacy to ask for gifts of expensive resources
- keep cities with important resources as tributary states
- mines require a lot of caravans
- start building your first temple early
- do not delay with building upper-class district
- you will have to pay regular tribute to Assyrian kings and fulfill requests of other regional powers in late game until you can defeat them

Enjoy!
