The Map: China from 770 BC to 221 BC

Attention: Do Not Load The Scenario !
This mod is a map mod. I came up with the original idea of making such a map in Civ5 in the autumn of 2019 when I was given an assignment by my history teacher. I had to make a table of countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. I found a video about the changes of countries and their borders in that period to help complete my task. Then I thought, why not simulate this in the game? And then I started.
I finished 90% of my work in 2019. I tried to make a scenario about the ancient China in 770 BC after I finished the map, but I soon discovered that an entire mod was required to make the scenario worth playing. (So, Do Not Load The Scenario ! ! ! )After that, I was drawn to other games and this map project was shelved.
This project came back to me recently. I reopened my SDK and fixed some small mistakes of the map. In addition, I added a number of snow mountains to block some parts of the map to simulate the areas rarely visited by the ancient Chinese at that time.
Here's the description of the map:
This map is about the ancient China from 770 BC to 221 BC,or "ChunQiuZhanGuo" in Chinese pinyin, or "the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period" in English. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was in decline. However, its vassal states were gathering power and waging war on each other for higher honor, more lands and more wealth. The bloody struggle lasted more than five hundred years before one of the vassals, Qin, annexed all other countries under the leadership of "The First Emperor" called Qin shi huang.
The map simulates the geographic features of that time, including ancient rivers, ancient lakes and ancient coastline.Some areas of the map is blocked by snow mountains because in real history no vassal state of the Zhou dynasty actually controlled those regions, although barbarians may have lived there.
The size of this map is about 80*70. All resources are randomly generated.
If you want to experience the continuous war between the ancient Chinese at that time, I recommend starting the game with:
12 Civs or more;
24 City States or more;
random civs;
epic speed or marathon speed;
raging barbarians(in real history, there used to be a large number of barbarians there);
no time victory, science victory, diplomatic victory and culture victory.
Hope you enjoy this map.
