Title: Small Map of Chiron without Jungle

Small Map of Chiron without Jungle

This is the small Map of Chiron by M@ni@c with the Monsoon Jungle removed. It's the official map of the c.o.p tournament (don't know what tournament was that!  ???  anyone?).
It is ideal for short MP IP games.

Niiice. I like small maps, mostly because I used them when I started playing SMAC, since I only had the demo back then and wanted to explore as much of the map as possible in my 100 turns. It's quite possible to achieve a conquest victory on a "tiny planet" map in less than 100 turns.

I play the living heck out of that demo for months, and I only managed it once, ISTR.

ISTR? I did it with the Spartans, going broke for as many troops units and military facilities from the start.

I seem to recall.

I did it with the Gaians and captured worms.  It was mighty frustrating trying to win under that 100-turn limit; I was playing so much I dreamed about playing, and only won that once.  The Believers were tough.

Yeah, the Believers are hard during the early stage of the game, when they have spread a lot, but before having thinned out and over-spent on weak military units (also before you can kick everyone's rear ends with choppers  :D). The Hive was a bit of a problem as well, I seem to recall, with all those free perimeter defences.

The worms laughed at those free perimeter defenses.

I bet they did - one of my weaknesses is, I guess, that I don't bother to use worms that much.
