Planetary Tile Landscapes

since I haven't gotten the full game yet, I've been playing the demo to check it out. I've noticed that when I clicked on the individual tiles on planets, I often found that the description of the type of land (i.e., prairie, desert, etc.) doesn't fit the geographical location of where the tile is. For example, when I clicked on a tile near Earth's north pole, it said that there was a jungle there. This sort of thing happens on every planet that is colonized, even though it clearly looks like some kind of ice world, desert, or otherwise. This may not matter, but I figured since that the developers made detailed continents, oceans, and other geographic features on the planet themselves (I like the visual representation of the Earth by the way), they should at least make the landscapes on the tiles fit the geographical location of the planet. After all, how could we have possibly overlooked all of those prairies, oceans, and jungles on Mars?

Its a game not fact.. Tho i agree its kinda disturbing.. dont remember if they fixed it... dont really care either. Dont pay any attention to it because it doesnt effect the game.

I noticed that in the full version as well. It is a small detail with no real impact on game quality, but it would be nice if the tile descriptions were correct. One of those things they overlooked I guess.

Does it really matter? It doesn't really add or detract from the gameplay for me... so it doesn't matter
