2K Games and Bitcaster are working on a new mod for Civilization III that will focus on Canadian history over the last 400 years. The project is being done with the support of the Canadian government, and will be used by about 100,000 high school students as a new tool in teaching them about the history of their country.

Gamers will control one of Canada’s early European or Aboriginal civilizations, making important decisions ranging from planning their settlement and crops, to determining when to wage war or make peace. Additionally, players will ponder questions about specific points in time across 17 civilizations spanning 400 years, including 10 First Nations tribes, European powers and the English and French colonies.
