What are Fractal maps exactly? I understand how all of the other map types work, but what is the scope of what I can get if I select Fractal?
anything, from thin spread pangea to a few separated continent or archinpelago.
You know what Fractal is?
I've been using Fractal for the past, say, 10 -12 games or so. At first they were always 2 fairly even continents with a smaller island, but the past 3 or 4 have been one long skinny continent and one dinky island (with no one on it).
My latest map was so long east to west, that the continent completely wrapped around the earth and overlapped, but was angled slightly so it wasn't a complete band. Kinda weird looking, yet interesting.
And all my maps are of the "small" variety, as my computer is way too slow on anything larger.

This is what I've played, mostly, since I got the 1.61 patch. When I first bought the game, I was a bit dismayed that there was no "random" choice. That's all I ever liked to play in Civ 3. I like to be random in everything.
can you post the map please
Here it is.
Here is the initial auto-save for the game.
The map is Fractal, Small world, low sea level, Tropical climate, Ancient starting Era.
