Yeah, maps seem to have distinct landforms in civ3 which is far better. In civ2 it just seemed to be an iggledy-piggledy mess of land and sea, and I didn't like it...but SMAC was fine as well...

Well... At least we have a map editor. Frankly it seems as if no land generator is perfect- but at least we had the map editor for civ II and now, hopefully for civ III

I thought the maps looked much better than Civ 1 or 2.
I always hated when you would choose islands in Civ2 so you could have a naval game but the damn map making algorithm would make a bunch of islands connected by thin pieces of land.
As far as I can see Civ3 seems to make a realistic map."To live again, to be.........again" Captain Kirk in some Star Trek Episode. (The one with the bad guy named Henok)

Maps look good
I just hope that they fixed the desert at the equator problem. Rainforests occupy the land area at the equator. Deserts occur at 30 and 60 degrees, depending on continental location. I learned this around... hmmm... 8th grade?To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Hmm, know whats amusing? In Colonization (another Sid game for those who didn't know) this was how the terrain worked out!Originally posted by SoulAssassin

Rain forest/swamp at the equator and then forest, follwed by grassland/plain as you moved away from the equator. Also there would be desert on the "lee"(?) side of mountians, etc.
Map generator was great for that game, I wonder who programmed than and why Sid can't seem to get them on the other "Civ like" games he has done??Comment

But the CIV3 maps look as good as those so far, IMO. So it's not necessary!Originally posted by Ozymandous

I like the maps of Civ II, clear and easy to see what everything is supposed to be.
I didn't like the maps in ToT (graphics ruined that one completely, and yes, I did try all the modpacks available) or Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, from what I've seen so far they've used AC's graphics engine... Sigh!

Colonization was a step in the right direction in terms of building military units and resources, as well as the maps. I play Colonization a lot (its so fun). Unfortunately, in Civ III, it will take 10 turns (200 years), or so, to build a phalanx or spearman. I don't know why Sid scrapped Colonization's improved model for the tradition Civ I style when he made Civ II. Colonization is like the car that runs on water. It's important improvements will be lost forever.Originally posted by Ozymandous
