[Suggestion] Round World option

Maybe someone has said this already, but is there any plan to allow round worlds - e.g. where the left and right edges of the map join each other?

I think we have discussed it. However I believe it may be too big a change for them to make at this point in development.

really? Isn't this something most of the civ games already have?

I can't imagine linking up the horizontal sides is THAT hard to do.

You never know. If the current engine is built around having a square map, or a lot of the path finding and other code built around it. It may take along time to rewrite a lot of that stuff to be compatible with a round map like Civ IV. I think right now they are focused on balancing, bug crushing, and content generation. A decision such as that would probably have to have been made much earlier in development.

I agree that the world should be round.
