It's official Earth will be in CIV3
It's official Earth will be in CIV3. In the sizes normal and huge. I think that's great news.

But Dan said that there weren't any Americans in America before they were imported from Europe. (The same as horses)

I missed something from what I remembered. Here is the quote from Dan.

As you can see it should have been exported, which sounds more logical.

You know the answer to that question. Stop deny it!
If you wait long enough the answer is yes, otherwise the answer is no.

I got one too:

How many civs can you play in civ3?

And how about this one:

I got an idea. What if you could win the game in other ways than in civ2, sort of like in SMAC. Do you think it will be in?

They just keep on comming:

It's official: They have chanced the Sioux to Iroquois!!!

Why blast they guy? Would a better tactic have been to simply ignore the post if it contained information that you already knew?

He was being helpful - never an excuse to assult someone - besides I did not know the the World map was in so his post helped me.

Hey, I'm just trying to get through the waiting hours!
Sometimes like this you don't have to say much before I try to make a joke out of it. Don't take it as a personal offense.

BTW IMHO you should always make it a question instead of an anouncement if you find facts posted more than a day ago.
Ex: Did you know that the map of Earth is included?
Or simply check if there are any threads on the subject before posting a new one.


This thread should be closed.

My Geography teacher is gonna kill whoever made that world map


1. Persia is too dry; it should be plains, not desert

2. Central U.S. too dry (I know, I live there ).

3. Europe WAY too dry, its supposed to be mostly forest.

4. Scandinavia too cold. It should be forest, not all tundra.

The map appears to show base terrain, the current screen-of-the-week shows forest actually grown over tundra and plains. So the global map is relatively accurate, because it doesn't show forests anyway.

Also, the reason why the central US isn't so dry is because of rivers and also irrigation from the enormous midwest aquifer. The dustbowl in the 30s showed how dry the plains can be. In central Illinois, all the water came from wells and rivers, but it doesn't change the fact that its not exactly lush grasslands

Some fairly large islands missing (NZ, Vancouver Island)

Hawaii doesn't really look like it's the right shape either way. My guess (hope) is that that is just the first try at the map, just to get the big continents done. Hopefully, the final version of the map will be more accurate.

I too hope it will be more accurate, but I doubt it since this was posted on the civ 3 site after the game had gone gold. Good thing that we can always edit it as we wish, though.

Because New Zealand is such an important country, and they didn't want to insult any New Zealanders, they wanted to make sure they made New Zealand properly, hence it wasn't in the early beta World Map.

new zealand is one of the biggest islands in the world, i believe its the third.
Unfortunetly its near the pole (in refrence to the map) and on a flat map that makes it distorted and small. Its still there though, like 3 squares.

Map accuracy
Do we know if this is the "normal" 100x100 map, or is it the "huge" 180x180 one? I've played some very accurate maps in civ 2 with tiles about 130x130, real world. On those maps, the south pacific is dotted with little islands, which may not be accurate considering the scale of the maps, but it sure is fun to go island hopping in multiplayer!! I hope this is either the smaller one, or as you all have been saying, it's an early version.

Of course, we can't really judge it from that crappy little screenshot they gave us, but it doesn't look very accurate to me.

Do you really think we will get another version of the world map??
Really?
Most important: look how much desert there is in China!
At least I hope that part of what I see as desert is flood plain, but I fear not when i look at the Nile and Tigris.
