Because of Global Warming the Earth has changed greatly.
Much of the Earth's land masses have been covered by oceans.  
Although expected, torrential flooding destroyed many of 
Earth's civilizations.  The remaining ones were left greatly 
damaged.  Most cities were lost in the Great Flood (as it is 
known to survivers).  Almost all the Earth's food surplus was 
destroyed and not much of the remaining food was salvageable.  
To make matters worse, large amounts of technology were lost and 
now must be rediscovered.  Since the floods, the remaining
civilizations have not had contact with each other.  The cities 
within each nation have not had contact with each other either.  All 
maps were destroyed and you must rediscover the land.  The Global 
Warming is still affecting the Earth and soon it will be covered 
entirely in water.  You must build spaceships and colonize one of 
the planets in the Alpha Centauri system before this happens.  You 
will be competing with four other nations to travel to, and colonize 
the Alpha Centauri system first.  If you do not make it, your 
civilization will surely die.  Who will you choose to lead the "space 
race" and escape the "Water World"?
*NOTE* Each city starts with one defense unit and one settler unit.  
Each city also has barracks.  There is no longer any irrigation, mines 
or roads around the remaining cities because of the flooding.

Celts - They lost the most knowledge and must now hurry to catch up to the other nations.
Egyptian - They retained much of their food surplus but they lost the most cities.
Persians - They have retained the most technology but much of their food was lost.
Carthaginians - Although they lost some technology they retained the most advanced ideas.
Mongols - Their cities were hit the lightest but much of their food and knowledge were lost.
