Iceland - (BETA 1.0)

The rush for new territory is at hand. Venture to Ísland in the West and claim what is yours!
Will you settle on the coast and dominate the sea? Or will you venture inland to seek shelter from sea raiders and dig into the wilderness?
———————————————————————————

There is a map for each number of players. You have to pick the correct one for it to work properly.
The map is playable from 2 to 8 players.
4 PLAYERS MAX IS RECOMMENDED. No AI possible.

***REMEMBER! This is a beta version. Constructive feedback is appreciated to improve it over time.

1. HISTORICAL ACCURACY and ALTERNATE HISTORY
——————————————————————————
Alternate history is used to give way for some backstory of this scenario. Instead of peacefully settling with groups who share a common goal, this scenario shows a number of groups who all venture to Iceland at the same time with the intent of claiming the land and end up fighting over it.
Also this would be in Spring season.

1.1 Wildlife
—————
With limitations comes some needed improvisation. For example, the only indigenous land mammal that was present prior to the arrival of humans was the Arctic Fox. Sadly there is no fox unit in the game so I had to replace it with something else to make up for the lack of food instead of just putting more Forage Bushes everywhere.

Therefore the alternate history of this map includes reindeer who, like the Arctic Fox, would have migrated over the icecaps to Iceland.

GAMEMODES
———————
- Colonize and Conquer (Normal): Each player starts out with a Transport Ship containing 4 Villagers. They reach Iceland and disembark on shore to start their settlement. Victory is achieved by eliminating the enemy players/team.

- Invasion (Alternate): A manual mode that simulates an already established colony on the island.
Team 1 gets an amount of time (10 minutes for example) to get a headstart to colonize and establish themselves on the island. Team 2, after waiting the agreed headstart time, has to settle on the island and defeat Team 1 in order to win.
Players can decide the variables amongst themselves. (Amount of players on each team/amount of headstart time)

KNOWN ISSUES
————————
- Though mostly accurate in shape, the map is slightly deformed.
- Able to enter the big mountain range in the south-east. Might be changed depending on opinions.
