Um yeah , I didnt think that France and England were 300 miles away from each other

I had no clue that one tile was 10 miles in each direction , that adds a different perception to the game.

Ya know... I would have thought that a civver and scenario builder of the prestige of Captain Nemo would have managed to influence the Firaxis programmers, but it appears not. I remember when Civ3 was still in the works, Captain Nemo put a big long list detailing what he'd like to see in Civ3, and just about none of it was actually carried out. In that list was a request for several tile improvements that didn't necessarily have a function, but could be assigned one by a modder. That would have been nice because then we could make canals and things like that. Of course, the programmers would have to give us a "canal" option, but I suppose it doesn't matter cuz they didn't give us any of it.

If any of you come across any beta version of Civ III you can find that you can build a grand canal small wonder that was removed in later versions.

A) Where do you get a beta?

and B) what did this "Grand Canal" wonder do?

[monkspider]

I actually don't know where you would get one, all I know is that they frequently talked about it in previews of the game. :P

Actually a Civ III square is 10 miles wide. 100 miles in square.

On a world sized 100x100 the width of a square (measured around the equator) would be 40.000/100=400km give or take a few.

However, to me that's not relevant I still want the ability to bridge narrows between islands and/or continents.

I'm not sure if the tile size changes by map size , but on the map I was playing on, according to f11, my city of size 9 tiles, was 900 sq miles, therefore each tile is only 100 square miles. Smaller map = smaller world
