Naval units randomly going in opposite direction

[dshea_32665]

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but the site is too busy to let me do a search.

I am playing Civ on my Palm and have noticed a peculiar problem. there seems to be a vertical line that my vessels will not cross. I will select a destination with the go to command and the vessels will reverse direction and go the other way when they hit this line. Any ideas? or is this old news.

Is there anything else but old news about Civ1?

But seriously, you're better off moving the units manually. The go to function indeed doesn't work properly. I don't know the specific failures of it, just by experience.

As far as I know the AI hates to move things over the 0 vertical axis on the map. That's probably it.

I think, this line is also referred to as the "date line". This behaviour should only occur if the units travel from left to right.

As soon as you know where this imaginary line is running, let you units walk automatically one tile left from this line, then cross it manually. After that, they will happily follow your orders als planned.

But, really, it's quite some fun watching your nukes stopping in mid-air and returning to your home country. Oops!
