Arctic Anomaly

Surprise ! While I thought I would never get this bug again thanks to Dark Panda's fix, I got it again with my last game, albeit this one looks a bit differently. I didn't expect it, so I cannot provide a before and after .SAV file, but I'll put the map.

I guess same causes produces the same effect. The screen score overflows and corrupts the .MAP file in the polar regions of the map and you only get a mumbo-jumbo screen there. With this bug, you don't get one large chunk of additionnal land, but rather 8 or 10 small additionnal lands. Here's what the score screen looks like:


and how the anomaly looks like in the recap screen:


And here are the .SVE and .MAP

Interesting how Civ creators apparently thought reaching some scores was impossible. Paradoxically, I didn't even get a 100% for this game, only a 97%. Weird. :confused:

Seriously? I thought this was gone for good. Perhaps we only got rid of half of what causes it? One this is for sure, it does have a different shape than it used to..
 
Seems like "Arctic Anomaly" is becoming "Arctic Giants Uprising"! Crowds of giants are invading your map from the North:

I'll have a look at it, but before that, can you just clarify whether you changed anything else in your CIV.EXE?

The fact that your entire SCORE screen is shifted down looks very awkward to me, and possibly unrelated to the arctic anomaly bug...

I changed the colours of the nations and added the Random Start Positions on EARTH hack. Out of this, I had put back CIV.EXE default settings (random map, number of land tiles).

Colour modifications are this:
