Flat Earth and silly globe (a very minor ToT bug)

[tobyr]

John, please pass a tip to the civ3 design team:

When you choose the "flat earth" option, you still get a revolving globe map! This is really silly, THERE IS NO GLOBE in a flat earth game.

In addition to being silly, it's also uninformative. The main reason for choosing "flat earth" (I think ) is that it is easier, during the game, to visualize the map. The rotating globe conceals the position of those useful flat earth borders.

just click on the thing and it turns into a flat map

Eddie,
I always click on it to get the flat map, because that way I get the handy buttons to switch among the four maps. I want the flat picture as the default, and it ought to be the default for the flat map option!

it's not a really big deal.

By the way Toby, Civ3 is being handled by Firaxis not Microprose, so John would have little, if any, contact with the Civ3 designers.

Firaxis does have extensive forums on the civ3 topic on their website and I believe they also read the Civ3 forum at Apolyton.

Why are you getting so upset about this flat earth thing. It's a real stupid thing to worry about. Jeeze move on.
