World shape: globular

[fazzoletti]

The current civ-world is shaped like a cillinder. You can't move your units over the north pole.
Why not have a globular world? It should consist of hexagons and pentagons, just like a soccer ball. If you build a city on one of these pentagons, the city radius should be designed so that you will be able to work on just as many squares as an 'hexagon-city' of course.

That sound much more realistic...
I like the idea. Actually, Civ already works sort of like a pentagon (or is it a hexagon?) Just get rid of diagonal movement and replace that direction with one of the faces of the hexagon.

Your right, Mr. Will.
