Natural wonders on Huge Earth map?

[georgefeeny]

Playing regular, non-modded Earth map.

-Size: Huge.

-22 Civs and 41 city-states.

-Speed: Marathon.

-Normal Climate.

-have Gods & Kings and Brave New World installed.

I need to know what natural wonders there are on this map. I know it's always the same wonders in the same locations because I've played the map several times and have seen the same wonders in the exact same spots every time, but I've never played this map all the way through, so I never mapped the entire world.

Specifically, I'm wondering if Cerro de Potosi or El Dorado are present in South America. I have all of South America mapped except for a few peaks in the Andes which I cannot view until I get a unit with a longer range of sight. Are any of those peaks Cerro de Potosi, or is El Dorado in any of those tiles? Also, is the Fountain of Youth present in the G&K/BNW Huge Earth map? If so, where?

I spawned in South America and am lagging behind the Aztecs by over 100 points, no doubt due in part to the fact that Montezuma was lucky enough to spawn right next to the Grand Mesa, Old Faithful, and Barringer Crater in North America. A natural wonder would really help me out.

One of those peaks should be Cerro de Potosi; to my knowledge, neither the FoY nor El Dorado are present on the Earth map.

Lies! lol. I used a settler to found a city close to the unseen peaks and bought the tiles so that I could see them- none of them were Cerro de Potosi. That's ok though- I saved the game before moving the settler into place. I think I'll just use him to found another Caribbean colony, or maybe wait till I get Astronomy and claim a few Pacific islands.

But that's pretty messed up that SA has zero natural wonders, while NA has three all right next to each other. Ironic that holding SA is such a strong Risk strategy while the continent in virtually useless in Civ.

...That's just wrong. Cerro de Potosi should be on the map in South America, for balance (as you pointed out) if nothing else. Hmm, I'll have to take a look into this.

From what I recall only the vanilla natrual wonders are present in the Earth map that came with the base game, it literally lacks ANY OTHER natural wonder (Cerro de Potosi, El Dorado, Fountain of Youth were added later on in the game)

The real earth map that came with Civ V was even worse than that in vanilla

It's a fixed map for every map size, and Mt Fuji was the only natural wonder present at all.
Hint: It's in the expected location.
