The real world map does kind of suck if you as me. I only hope that the huge version is better(i mean this isn't huge right?).

I really don't care about that phalanx beating armor stuff. It's just a game! And think it this way: The guys at Firaxis are probably played the game few days themselves and I really trust that they know what they are doing.

It should also be remembered that civ games have always been quite abtract. Think of it: ancient phalanxes roaming and defending New York in 2001. Not very realistic. I myself could easely think that these phalanxes(despite of they're name) could perhaps have some more modern weopons like rifles or grenades.

I really don't have anything againts it if phalanx beats armor sometimes. Not realistic but I can manage it if the overall gameplay is fun.

I just hope this is NOT Earth. Look at Spain and France and where is Wales and... argll.

**Earthling7** · October 30, 2001, 05:10

Looks very funny indeed.

But look at the bright side. Someone is bound to make a proper map if the in-game ones are rubbish.

I have to say that I wasn't impressed by the world map myself.

I thought this was supposed to be bigger maps than civ2. I haven't seen any of the huge world map screenshots but I sure hope it's better than the world map I saw.

Sooner or later, one of us will make a good and accurate world map

Wow

Even CtP2's world map was leagues better than this; and I thought that was a pretty poor map...

**red_jon** · October 30, 2001, 07:13

I SO agree with Faboba. I liked the Civ2 maps - the large Earth map was fine. This new one looks crap.

**Fidel** · October 30, 2001, 07:13

um, is this small map again?

**BlueHooHoo** · October 30, 2001, 07:49

I loaded the huge map in the Editor, you don't get a view of the minimap and with the size of the screen grabs I can post, both islands just look like funny shaped greeny/brown blobs!

Quoting my self from a few days ago (referring to England & New Zealand). It looks like I’m not the only one who thinks they look like funny shaped greeny/brown blobs!!!

Hopefully someone will soon release their own Editor designed maps. I refuse to live on a blob!!!

Look at the above and tell me if you see anything odd. I'm sure the world map looks very nice on the mini-map, but on the main game screen nothing looks like anything else.

It's very nice they've given us a 'realistic'world map, like the world would really look like if we pealed the crust from the planet, and rolled it out on an intergalactic coffee table with the intent to play risk. Unfortuantely, I liked the Civ2 one. And you know who I blame? I blame all of you.

All the whineing about how "the civ2 maps isn't realistic" "Hello - the world's really spherical" caused this.

I refuse to live in a country that looks on the main map, like all there is is England, and a rather fat, bloated version of england to boot. My only hope is 100X100.

Okay, go to an English class before you post here again. I can't even understand the last paragraph. Second, that is the 100 x 100 map, of course its going to look weird. BTW, if you don't like the map, make your own. You'll have nobody to blame but yourself.

Read your post outloud and tell me if you can understand it, because I can't.

Oh jeezzzz... we have non-native English speakers on Apolyton. Crumbs! Actually, I am one, but hey!

Where are you from, SoulAssassin? R U a native Englisher? Be constructive, please.

I'm in the US, and English is my second language. Serbo-Croat is my native language. If you can't bother to learn the language, you have no right to post.

I was complaining about the grammar. Plus. I believe that person is from UK.

I know it is difficult to learn another language, but when something is so incoherent that I cannot even read it, it doesn't deserve to be posted.

tako je soulassasine

covek ne zna ni sopstveni jezik

the tragic part is when native speakers have to be corrected by the non-natives

I have no problem understanding it. Yes, it's totally ungrammatical, but since Faboba is a native english speaker, he can be forgiven.

Still, nearly ottok-quality on that last paragraph, I admit. Here's a translation from scottish to english, if you really, really, don't get it: "I refuse to live in a country that looks [like it does] on the main map, [as if] all there [was in the area where the british isles are in real life was] England, and a rather fat, bloated version of [E]ngland to boot. My only hope is [that the larger map (sized 180X180) represents britain more favourably]. "

**Skanky Burns** · October 30, 2001, 09:10

Just because someone is posting from a country doesnt mean they are a native of that country

Also, not everyone can speak a second language perfectly, or even understandably. But the only way to get better at something is to practice, and using these forums is a good way, if certain people dont bite your head off

Actually, re-reading his post, its fairly easy to understand what he says, so i removed this comment.
