Line 1:
[[CivClassic]] is split into four quadrants whose names are based on their geographical coordinates.
Some players have also named specific landmasses, seas and regions based on cultural significance to their nations.
== Quadrants ==
Line 4 ⟶ 8:
Since the map is a circle centered at 0,0 it is convenient to split it in four quadrants:
* [[-,-]] or Northwestern quadrant
* [[+,-]] or Northeastern quadrant
* [[-,+]] or Southwestern quadrant
* [[+,+]] or Southeastern quadrant
The + and - signs refer to the sign of the coordinates in each quadrant: for example, the X,Z coordinates -123,4567 would be in the -,+ quadrant.
Line 13 ⟶ 17:
While this method does not work well for places close to 0,0 or the horizontal/vertical axes, it is easy to understand and has been in use for years.
==
Similar to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispheres_of_Earth Hemispheres of Earth], Semicircles can be used to refer to two adjacent quadrants combined. For example, the Western Semicircle refers to the -,- and -,+ quadrants.
