Maps can change between game versions. When a new update comes out it can add new maps, redraw or rebalance existing ones, or change how often a map turns up in public games — so a map can look different from when you last played it.
New maps
An update can add new maps to the game. Recently added maps are tagged New in the map picker for one major version, then move into their regular category.
- Update 34.0: Yangtze River, Cape Cod, Channel Islands and Gulf of Mexico. China was redrawn with modern borders and the classic map kept as Qing China.
- Update 33.0: 22 new maps, including Sol, Russia, United States, France, Germany, Vietnam and Scandinavia.
Update 34.0 map changes

- Connected the Rhine to the sea on Germany, which now appears in the Countries section.
- Fixed the US states of Minnesota and Georgia on United States.
- Fixed river pixel errors on Hecate Strait and Baltics, and typos in Baltics nation names.
- Labyrinth’s public rotation frequency was reduced from 6 to 2, and Luna and Chopping Block were removed from public rotation.
