When you will work on this, you may consider my set of
ancient civilizations, maybe you will find something
useful there. I also have 2 maps of Mediterranean area
(200x70 and 120x50) so if you think they might be also
useful for ancient set (I like playing on real maps)
I can send them too, and you can update the starting
positions according to your nation set. When combined
with ancient modpack, it can be lot of fun.
Note: the nations file is not completely updated in line
with the latest rulesets (ruler titles in nation ruleset).
