Put an end to popups!

Organic Terrain : I saw that too. I assume it means that the terrain is generated in a more natural way. For example, perhaps rivers cannot travel in a circle, desert is never next to tundra or arctic, etc. In a more subtle way, perhaps river direction is accounted for (behind the scene) ( a river may not travel from a non mountain into a mountain, for example?), maybe they more often begin in mountains, etc.

Maybe organic terrain has to do with flesh tones, such as the ones Al Gore wore during the campaign?

I think Slax is right. Check out the pictures of roads on the maps in the Civ3 gallery. They don't seem to follow an obviously predictable pattern when adjoing tiles are improved with roads (unlike CivII or SMAC where a multitude of road improved tiles ended up looking like a muddy Union Jack).

And this may cause some confusion. Like not being sure whether this tile has a road or not.

Suffering from ads?

I had the same thought, though maybe once you get a unit icon on a tile it is a little more obvious where the roads go.
