Didn't someone make a roughly symmetrical map for an older scenario. Might have been Orbis Terrae. Mercator was that you, or have my gray cells utterly turned to jelly.

Unfortunately, Orbis Terrae has only one playable player and its map cannot be used in standard Civ2 due to rearranged terrain types.

There doesn't seem to be anything fitting the description in the Apolyton Directory and Mercator's Site specializes in real-world map.

Boco: Indeed... Your grey cells are fine. (unless you really meant another scenario/author and accidentally named another one that also happened to use a symmetrical map )

I still have the "original" map for Orbis Terrae (without the rearranged terrains), and it's symmetric indeed... Place for 5 civs, 4 civs start the same, the 5th in the middle. It's a rather small map though.

I should now obviously attach the map but I don't have it here right now... oh wait... The map (orbis.mp) is actually included in the scenario download (starting points for Zulus, Mongols, Carthaginians and Vikings, and the Romans in the middle):

And while you're at it, here are the sounds for it:

I wonder how OT would play multiplayer? Instead of the Romans having to conquer the world, the 4 others could compete for world domination. Well, it wasn't made for that, though, so it probably wouldn't work too well without some editing.

Quite unintentionally though. I just never got around to adding the fictional maps.
