Geographical Regions (CivClassic 2.0)
Quadrants
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.
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.
Continents
While not officially used before March 2018, the map can be divided into 9 continents which are mostly bounded by water, biome changes, or steep cliffs. Nations are usually contained within one continent (except outposts).
