I'm playing CivRev for DS, and have been for over a year. There are two circumstances of note in my playing:
1) I cheat, badly -- I'll restart over and over and over again until I've found a city spot I think is perfect. So I might go through a dozen false starts before every involved game I play to the end.
2) There have been some games I've played that have been so spectacular that I've saved them, so I can refer back to them later. I currently have three of those.
So I started a new game, and after five or so attempts, found a promising starting spot. It looked a lot like one I had played before, so I founded my capital, and starting exploring......
And discovered that it was, in fact, a map entirely identical to one in one of my saved games. The resources were different, the civilizations and starting spots were different, but the map -- I double checked -- was 100% the same.
So...
Is this a glitch? Did the game somehow pull data out of my earlier saved game? If so, why were the variables randomized?
Or...
Is there some enormously high amount of maps saved on the cartridge that the game draws from and randomizes?
Anyone have any ideas?
