    I think they'd have to get rid of tiles altogether if they were to implement a 'round' Earth. Otherwise, I'd rather stick with the 'Mercator-projected', cylindrical Earth we have now. All the other solutions seem cheesy. Unfortunately, I don't see Civ being made tileless for a long time. I'm hoping it's done by Civ IX.

      Agreed!

        Sounds like we have another supporter of vector-based movement.

          You are correct!

          However, I wouldn't want too many programming resources going towards this. I'm willing to wait 5+ years for a vector-based/tileless Civ. I'm satisfied with the 'board game' feel of tiled maps...for now.

              An Ekert project (the split maps) would work just as well, without having to make a spinning globe.
