World map hasn't got New Zealand in it, why?

[FrostyBoy]

If you look closely at both versions of the world map, you'll notice there is no NZ map, tho I think there is a tiny wee one square? piece of land, I'm not sure, either way, isn't this so ridiculous and wrong? If you're gonna do this, why didn't you take out Japan, Madagascar, all of UK aswell? our land is bigger than all of them!

and we are NOT AUSTRALIA, is Canada America? is Japan China?

You can always open the world map in the editor and put it in.
As to why NZ isn't in the default world map- only Firaxis could tell you that.

sheep isn't a resource.

Newfoundland is smaller than New Zealand so I guess we're not on the map either. *sigh* It's okay - as long as there's space in Korea for a couple of cities.

I know what small continent/large island I'm going to be using as a nuke testing zone in my first Civ3 game

Altough I'd probably just get laughed at if I mentioned I had a pet sheep about 12 years ago....

AAAA pet sheep!!! L L - I used to eat them in my native land. Which brings me neatly to my point. I hope Iceland is a tiny bit correctly located this time!

[Rakki]

to be serious though, something the size of New Zealand being put on the world map would be nothing more than a shipping navigational hazard.

okay, not that serious

Is New Zealand that important for you?
Well, if you live there, then it's understandable.

Perhaps I should agree with you.

I can only image the look on his face if it disappeared from under his feet NOW!

[Blake]

No no, New Zealand couldn't be a shipping navigation hazard because ships have no reason to come down here!

I for one will not be bothered if New Zealand isn't on the 'Small world map', but I hope it gets atleast half a dozen tiles in the 'Big world map. Not as if the southern oceans are overcrowded with countries...

Is Australia on it?

[FrostyBoy]

Ras, how would you feel if they put a big ocean right where Finland is?

It's not a terrible thing, but it's not good either, we're an advanced country

[Provost Harrison]

HAHAHAHA!

[Jusbaummer]

Hey, Finland has always been too small in civ maps!

and in other maps too..

Maybe someone will fit you on in the 256x256 map
