Fishing: Reveals the World Map?

Now that I have a computer that works Civ4 100% well, I noticed that something seemed a bit odd. When I researched Fishing, it revealed the entire map, then also granted me the special of +1 movement for all ships for circumnavigating the world. I double-checked in the Civilopedia, and sure enough, it said "Reveals the World Map". I don't know if this is a glitch in the game, or a glitch in my computer, but it seems very cheap kills the challenge of exploring the world. If someone could help me out, that'd be great~

EDIT- Sorry, fixed the problem. I had editted an XML in attempt to fix my Civ4 without upgrading my computer (Maniac Marshall's instructions), and hadn't reversed it back, so it gave the techs the ability to reveal the world map. Make sure this this isn't exploited in Epics O_O~

Not really possible.

RBCiv vets know the drill on rules enforcement. Nothing there has changed.

I believe it's a non issue. The "world map reveal" tool only reveals it on maps generated with it. Start files generated with normal XML won't show you the WM. And since the epics/adventures should fit this category, its all good.

Besides, there is, unfortunately, annother method for doing it thats even cheesier than editing XML. It's not hard to find, but I'm not going to point it out either.
