Overall Rating

24/30
GENERAL: The map is pretty big. Events closely resemble the intricacy of Jules Verne's events.

Playability Rating

9 / 10
COMMENTS: This scenario was incredibly fun to play. I enjoyed playing all of the recommended civs, it was pretty difficult (because you had to build up your empire, which became difficult), and had very nice events. One of my all time favorite scenarios.

I can not think of any direct faults for this scenario. The atmosphere was pretty realistic, as well. It is balanced; all four recomended civs have pretty equalized advantages and disadvantages, so there is not really any over all advantage of a particular recommended tribe.

This scenario had a very nice feel to it. It kept me playing it for a very long time. Very nice indeed.

Level of General Care

7 / 10
MAP: Adequate. It is just a map of North America, so it served its purpose.

DOCUMENTATION: Quite well explained in the readme

TECH TREE: The tech tree, like the events, were very well put together

DETAILS: The details were okay

Art and Originality

10/10
ARTWORK: Fantastic artwork. The improvements and units are of absolutely top notch quality.

ORIGINALITY: The idea itself was quite original, and the tech tree and events (the backbone of a great scenario) were really well done.

NEW STUFF: All new improvements, some new terrain, quite a few new units.

NOTES: This is version 3.0 of the scenario.
