And the world goes round

I'm sure many of you have played Sid Miers (is that how its spelled) Civilizations. That is a great game. One of my favorite aspects about the game is the fact you play on a round world. So I was wondering, would it be possible to make a round world for RTW. I mean we may not use earth as a basis but that would be awsome. Don't you think so?

There's simply no way that you can make units go round in the east and west of the map... So no round map possible.

What do you mean exactly "not possible". Its obviously been done in many a game. What factor inhibits such a map from being made in RTW.

I haven't looked into the scipting available in the game, but like the 4 turn per year script, could some script be started at the beginning of the game like that, that on end turn checks to see if any units are on one edge of the map, and if so, moves them to the opposite edge?

The hardcoded limits of the egine, we can only work with what we are given. If we could edit the hardcode we could do this, but we can't, so it is impossible.
