Introduction
This is a C3C scenario for either single player mode or multiplayer with up to 8 human-controlled civs.
Since there are more than 8 civs, Sima Qian's PBEM multiplayer tool will be required to set up a multiplayer game.
It covers the time period from 1840 to 1900. The scenario uses an inverted time scale with the earlier turns each of 3 months,
while later in the scenario the years go by faster as the pace of technology increases and railroads speed travel.
At the start of the scenario all civs are at the beginning of the second era.
The Eras ( and approximate dates):
1. The Past - before 1840
2. Manifest Destiny - 1840 to 1860
3. The Blues, grays and The Last Spike - 1860 to 1880
4. The End of the Century - 1880 to 1900
