Poles?

[unmerged(129533)]

A thing that's really bothering me are the north and south poles, or rather, the lack of dito.
They aren't in the EU-series, and not in the HoI-series either! (Which stuns me since Germany had serious plans to conquer the North Pole in order to get whale-fat to their industries)
I mean, we have all these truly wonderful mods, like AoI, AGC, EEP, EP and so on, but none of them adds the poles...is that because it's impossible to add the poles or is it just a result of lazyness?
I mean, in MyMap and such you can practically colonize the entire world, almost all permanet terra incognita has been removed but still no poles...

Suposedly, either poles were only reached after 1900 - and that is far from EU2's timeframe. Even so, what would one possibly want from the poles?

Other than that, I wonder how you would propose to implement the poles on a cylinder-shaped map where these would need to be something like 19000 pixels wide...

EGO: The poles are not in HoI either.
And by the way, when people broke free from the church and understood that the Earth was round, and, in fact, not flat, they pretty soon also understood about the poles.
And as I already have said, whale-fat and lots of other things awaited the brave people who discovered the poles, other than pure glory...

Kasperus: Yeah, I thought that was the problem...

attrition would be insane there...
Imagine the AI besieging your antarctic large fortress with large 100+k stacks...

Haha! You got one fine point there
But on the other hand, it's really not much warmer in north Canada and Greenland and they are in, but I guess it's as simple as one of the other dudes said
