Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I'd guess that ocean squares don't have a lot of influences, and it's easier for borders to be pushed around by small culture variations.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Well, it's looking very strange. After all, it is possible to have OceanSquares in your territory, or is it???

Nobody owns ocean squares. That's all.

Nothing odd about it, your culture would meet up with those squares if the one in the first shot was surrounded by ocean, or if the tile in the second wasn't ocean. Borders can't cover oceans, only seas and coast.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I have to admit that I took that screenshot a while ago. New Hangchow was indeed overthrowed by the English, but I conquered them, so New Hangchow is mine again.

I guess Firaxis wanted to show the idea of "territorial waters" and that's why OceanSquares can't be owned, I think.

About the Galley: when I discover MapMaking I build a Galley and are gonna explore with it. After I've discovered Magnetism I can send that Galley to OceanSquares and I'm gonna explored the whole world then with that Galley. So when I'm having Infantry I still have a Galley if I have not explored the whole world yet.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Ocean squares can't be owned in a normal civ3 generated map. On custom maps where the ocean is sometimes close to the shore (like on some world maps), if the ocean tile can be worked by a citizen, then it can be claimed. In this case, the tile wouldn't produce anything (with normal terrain values) and would just show as a red shield (just like when you try to work on a polluted tile). But if you have a harbor, it will then produce 1 food.
