In 1979, the New Jewel Movement launched a successful revolution in the carribean island of Grenada. Led by the popular leader Maurice Bishop, the movement quickly aligned the island with Cuba, and undertook several major construction projects to improve the island, and move away from dependence on foreign capital.

Unfortunately, in 1983 Bishop was overthrown in a military coup, providing an opening for a full-scale U.S. invasion, which deposed the New Jewel Movement entirely.

This map puts you in the shoes of the New Jewel leaders in the immediate aftermath of the revolution. Can you achieve what they couldn't?

You must install the required mod for this map to work, as well as the included texture packs. Without them the island will look very ugly!

Roleplaying Tips,
-Start in 1980, or edit your save to 1979.
-Rely exclusively on tourism, agriculture, and food/alcohol manufacturing. Some historically accurate factories are already in-place.
-Build a huge airport at Pointe Salinas, with a runway big enough for the largest jets.
-Rely on diesel generators for all of your electricity.
-Buld up your tourism industry in the South West, and your agriculture in the North East.

Beware that this is a hard map to play!
-Grenada has never had ANY mineral resources whatsoever.
-All trade must be conducted by air and sea, thus there are no border crossings.

Any plans to re-release using the Biomes expansion?

Fantastic map. Once you use the Pioneer Pack to start your republic and the military pack or other diesel generator mods you have a fun map. Many existing facilities are not connected by road to preserve them.
Any how where is web site about Grenada ports which i Loved to read to get me in the mood for this fantastic island.

It tells you about how the ports and the pictures show how accurate this map is to the real thing in essence.

Can someone tell me how to get a ship or aeroplane to start this map?
I discovered the two customs houses in the buildings list but they don't sell ships or any aircraft.

Just wanted to let you know that I really love this map. Have invested a lot of hours. The difficulity with mountains and no natural resources made it very fun. Thank you! Hope to see similar maps. Big fan of island maps that have no land connection with the outer world!

Haha, fair enough. I was going to make suggestions - but if its something only being done on whims I don't want to list off a whole bunch of stuff.

@Kristen Reid I have way too much ADHD to mod one game consistently. Maybe I'll do like Mongolia in 1-3 years

Do you have a road-map for which nations you are doing?
