Venusian Conquest Map

Getting tired of conquering the same old countries? Want to conquer something that hasn't even had a foot put onto it? Now you can by conquering a terraformed Venus! Unfortunately, we've received word that all the opposing nations have somehow managed to also take a spot as well, so you'll have to conquer this world the old fashioned way.

The names of the locations are based on their 'official' names by NASA. Some liberties were taken for names to work properly in their given location. The map's texture is based on Venus's topography to give some idea how large and mountainous the countries are. The country borders are mostly based on the geography. The area of the water takes about 71% of the surface, similar to Earth; It ends up using a lot of navel battles as a result.

The exact map design is a bit subject to change for balancing and aesthetics. I made an attempt at balancing the starting locations of the nations and positions of rare resources, cards, tribute, and supply depots, though it may not have been very good. If a nation is very unbalanced, leave a comment so I can look into correcting it.

Version 0.2 - Quadrupled the map size and fixed the Metis territory.

Subscribing still doesn't make it work automatically, for some reason. To enable the mod correctly, subscribe and run the game, it should automatically download. Then, close the game and copy the files from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\287450\761767649" into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rise of Nations". Open the game up again, go to where you would start a Conquer the World campaign, select "Venusian Conquest Campaign" in the dropbox above Napoleon, and click the New Campaign button. It doesn't show the auto-saves on the menu, so load the games manually to continue a save.

I'll need to figure out how to get this working so you won't need to copy the files.
