I think it makes no sense that the North Pole is so wide. The map in the corner should be a globe, and when you get near a pole the view will change to the circles we usually see on maps. Move to the edge, and you will travel farthur down river |

Yes, I agree with you. maps should definetly be more 3D. |

this is a mathematical problem....either you use a 3d globe or a projection where the square-numbers are identically for low and high degrees. a mixture as used in normal maps would favor starts at the equator. |

Yeah, its gonna be kinda hard to make the maps smalle, sicne the game is based on squares, and as we all know, you can't make squares into a circle without overlapping them (we had to try for a science project, wasted 3 hours doing it....)
and it would also mess up the walking/city radius, and as weird god said, it would favour equator starters------------------
