It's official Earth will be in CIV3. In the sizes normal and huge. I think that's great news.

I agree that it's not necessary to snap at him like that, but I can see why some people might. It is old news.

3. Europe WAY too dry, its supposed to be mostly forest.
4. Scandinavia too cold.  It should be forest, not all tundra.  |
The map appears to show base terrain, the current screen-of-the-week shows forest actually grown over tundra and plains. So the global map is relatively accurate, because it doesn't show forests anyway.
Also, the reason why the central US isn't so dry is because of rivers and also irrigation from the enormous midwest aquifer. The dustbowl in the 30s showed how dry the plains can be. In central Illinois, all the water came from wells and rivers, but it doesn't change the fact that its not exactly lush grasslands

Hawaii doesn't really look like it's the right shape either way. My guess (hope) is that that is just the first try at the map, just to get the big continents done. Hopefully, the final version of the map will be more accurate.

I too hope it will be more accurate, but I doubt it since this was posted on the civ 3 site after the game had gone gold. Good thing that we can always edit it as we wish, though.

Do we know if this is the "normal" 100x100 map, or is it the "huge" 180x180 one? I've played some very accurate maps in civ 2 with tiles about 130x130, real world. On those maps, the south pacific is dotted with little islands, which may not be accurate considering the scale of the maps, but it sure is fun to go island hopping in multiplayer!! I hope this is either the smaller one, or as you all have been saying, it's an early version.
Of course, we can't really judge it from that crappy little screenshot they gave us, but it doesn't look very accurate to me.
