I always play middle continent world. I notice only 1-2 islands. I would like continents plus 5-10 islands. I don't know if this is an option at the beginning world mass choices. Every time I think I have discovered an island, it is always totally submerged.
Current game, there is only 1 island and 3 continents. A few more islands would definitely keep the game more interesting and challenging.
My point exactly. There should be 3 continents or so and several islands between them....

Indeed. There are not enough islands.
One of the better things about Civ 2 was that you could still explore and colonize long after frigates and galleons, and sometimes even into transports. With Civ 3 there's nothing left to explore before you get to caravels even on a standard map.
If I used a huge map against only three civs the stupid AI would keep pewking out settlers non-stop.
But that's why there are so few islands - the AI would just keep cranking out settlers for millennia, and that likely would leave their infrastructure so weak they could eventually be conquered.

Nope. I just get the feeling that he can only see the negative aspects of this game. Sad case there. I admit the game isn't perfect, but I still see a somewhat enjoyable game.

He has a point though. In civ2 the world was still not fully discovered when the Apollo Program showed the world....
But allthough I find that disappointing, I agree that civ3 is still a nice game. It must be because I am still playing it!
