An Alpha including partial versions of the Argentines, Paraguayans, and Tupi was released on April 6, 2007. On October 22, 2007, a public Beta for the mod was released. The remaining Latin American civilizations, Americans, Canadians, Inca, and Mapuche were released in the Gamma version of the mod on September 9, 2011.
