Description
"Indeed it seems as if the lands of the barbarians had been bordered round with a Greek sea-coast ; for none of the barbarians themselves were originally seafaring peoples except the Etruscans and the Phoenicians, the latter for purposes of trade and the former as pirates. But nevertheless with all these disadvantages they possess one great advantage - all the products of the world can be brought by water to the city in which you live, and your people in turn can convey or send whatever their own fields produce to any country they like."

- Cicero, De Republica, Book 9

Delve into the world of the ancient Mediterranean with three unique scenarios from the 9th to the 6th century BCE, and decide the fate of classical antiquity. Requires the mod collection above.

@Ishmael thanks for keeping me updated, maybe the mod didn't update properly or something but I'll have another run through of the code - should be a simple fix.

Same here - I couldn't build any buildings, and I didn't find any scenario map either, in none of the additional, explorer etc. maps.

I think some of those bugs may have something to do with the Greek civ split

@lord_ladrian i'll look into those issues, i am already aware of the buildings problem but I can test for the others over the weekend.

Really cool looking scenario, but too buggy for me to play right now. it crashed randomly every time I got more than a few turns into the game. the first was when I tried to found a pantheon, then it happened two more times when I hadn't done anything.
some other weird things
-I couldn't build any buildings (they didn't even show up as options on the production menu) and my cities didn't come with any of the ancient era buildings, so they were left really small and weak
-I started as Massalia/Phocaea for one of my attempts and instead of three cities it gave me three embarked settlers. that seemed like it might have been an intentional part of the scenario, but two of them were in Ocean tiles and couldn't move
-not exactly a bug but Macedon is playable despite not being listed in the description

@grant was able to get it going, thanks for the tip. Very neat mod.

@Otto von Bismarck if you scroll down on the map selection menu, click additional maps and you'll find the three Barbarian Shore scenarios there

might be a dumb question, but how do i select the scenario maps? after i enable all the appropriate mods, i can't find the proper map during the leader select screen

BTW, two additional excellent civilizations you might want to consider are The Germans by JFD and The Goths by Tomatekh.
