Just looked your spring 2010 preview again. Finally a mod were you can go up rivers with fleets(have been suggesting this too in BC 3.0 version they are making ...but too much work for hardcodding they said) (i think it will be possible to build riverports too then i suppose as in ss6.3...and represent them with a small graphic icon on the map?).
In your preview of the map i see it goes too Iran. I hope the masses of land will be as big as in SS.
Great maps makes great mods(proven BC,SS are great and popular mods)....I hope your mod comes out by end december 2010 or begin 2011 (no pressure).
Well i'll just have to wait for the preview in the mean time. Just supporting you guys...it's truly going to be a mod with a whole new experiences.
good luck.
