Map locked by Ice (generator broken)

[Oblivious]

Just now, I just started 5 games in a row with continents that stretch from pole to pole.

I'm not sure I've played a single Continents game which generated an acceptable map. Naval travel is blocked both North and South by all/most continents stretching all the way to the poles.

...this occurs with:

Large Maps
Small Maps
Huge Maps
High Sea Levels toggled
Continents Maps
Fractal Maps (sometimes get lucky here)

I've started using the "reveal all" command after each new game start before wasting time on a map I find out later is "broken". I shouldn't have to do that nor spoil a bit of my exploration by doing so.

Can we get an "Ice-breaker" ship/unit, late game?

It happens to me all the times, another reason why I'm upset about subs not going below thin ice blocks

I only play continents, only happened once so far.

How do they make such basic errors?

Oh - no restart button..

Oh - no 'alert' mode...

Oh - no.....

Also happened in all 3 of my games. Frustrating especially for Civs with a naval bias (e.g. England)
