Agreed. The ubiquitous extra graphic will slow down the game too. The traditional blackness of unexplored terrain is far better, and more symbolic.

Civ 5 is supposed to be more moddable than Civ 4, so I'm sure there will be some kind of WorldBuilder or MapEditor. That's a priority job for the modders. They will be chomping at the bit, waiting to get their hands on Civ 5! Looking at the MiniMap in this screenshot, it's hard to tell...

In popular history, the Songhai Empire (a successor to the Malinese Empire in West Africa), is somewhat obscure - I should think most people on the forum have never heard of it. Looks like that will be very different in the worlds of Civ 5...

You'll get used to hexes. I look forward to having proper globes to play on!

Considering the small charted area on the minimap, this is clearly a demo game. I would have explored much farther afield by the time I developed cavalry & cannons!

With a hex map, will we finally get properly round worlds? Not a cylinder with unreachable poles?

He doesn't look a day over 21! Bit of a whizz kid, who no doubt grew up playing Civ..?

Getting Catherine's gender wrong: sounds like a possible "Bushism" to me...

Nice city names... if the cities are named after stars, perhaps their symbolic radiance helps superabundant crops grow?

I once got Astronomy from a tribal village - allowing me to colonise a nearby uninhabited landmass 150 years before any of my rivals :)

With only 4 thrusters & 1 engine, I should have expected the odds of success to be less than 100%..?

Glad you like them :) These are for BTS. For the actual Arda Mod, the resource placement will have to be redone.

OK. Here's the 1st Age map (the inland Sea of Helcar was actually made a bit smaller in a post-screenshot edit). 2nd Age map: 3rd Age map: And the map files themselves... Do the links work?

Weird. I can't upload them again, because the system won't let me attach the same files twice (even if I change the names). Will have to put the images in an external hosting site and link them in. Bear with me please!

Can you see the embedded image in my previous post? I can still see that, even if I look at the thread without logging in.
