Hmmm ... thanks for the report. I just checked the one file I figured it could be, CvMainInterface.py, and there are no differences other than the added Revolution pieces (which wouldn't affect this). The only other place to check is in the SDK, which would be difficult to track down. Does anybody know more about this issue and what might cause it?
Fortunately it doesn't seem like a big problem ... I'll keep my eyes open and see if I find any leads. By the way, does hotseat work okay aside from this?
I know what he's talking about, i have the same problem.
When you Research Calender, or build Stonehenge, it centers the world map. Then it zooms out. It depends on how much of the world you knew before researching Calender or building stonehenge. Sometimes you know so much about the world it only zooms out a small bit, but when you build stonehenge, it's much earlier in the game, and you don't usually know as much of the world you would know ounce you research Calender. So you then Zoom out More, all the way to the globe view.
It's a small bug with the Minimap. you know that square that shows you how much land your looking at? well when you center the world map, you know how the minimap changes so you see how big your land is to the world? the square that shows how much land your looking at, doesn't change with it. So the computer thinks your looking at a much broader view, and adjust's the zoom, causing it to zoom out.
so, let's say i'm playing continents and have 2 continents. i have a city that just completed stonehenge in the northern part of the continent. The square box in the minimap, is just looking at my city, but when i center the world map, i know how big the world is, and the square box isn't just looking at my city anymore, but the entire northern part of the continent.
Understand? Try a few test games to understand it more. I had this happen with civrev(or any other mod for that matter), the original game, the unofficial patch, and on multiplayer.
