Round Earth or Not?

[Matt99]

I think that in Civ 3 you should be able to go around the map verticaly as well as horizontally. The ice caps would be land, so ships couldn't pass through but planes and troops could.

I also thing that only certain types of units should be able to cross certain terrain:

Ice - Ski (Polar) Units

Desert - Units with extra water supplies

etc...

How often do you see troops passing over the poles during warfare?

To be more in line with the earth of now, the earth should be a flat square in Civ III.

Bad idea, bad idea........

It would be veeeeeeeeery unrealistic.

Impossible on a 2d map, which of course the game is going to be.

Well, you COULD simulate polar movement by allowing a unit move off the gameboard at any spot along either poles, and then next turn pick any spot along the same pole for it to reappear. i.e. in realword map, a unit on greenland can go off the map to the north and then reappear over Siberia next turn, or it could reappear over Alaska...

Yeah, but how many cities REALLY CAN SHOOT DOWN NUCLEAR MISSILES?

Maybe the SDI is a giant baseball glove...

Nice idea. Maybe Civ IV? better use trianges though if they make it 3D.
