True Start Location Earth Maps

This map pack contains all of Civilization Vs Earth maps with true start locations. All Civs (and City-States) begin the game in their correct location. The pack includes a TSL version for each map size.

To install, download this file and place in your mods folder at ..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meiers Civilization V\MODS\. Run the game, go into the MODS menu and click BROWSE. The mod will install automatically.

Activate the mod, click Setup Game and choose the map - each map has the prefix TSL. Ensure Load Scenario is ticked.

Was about to start a game with this, just wondering: Any way to get the resource quantity selector thingy to appear with these? It goes away when you select the map (by design I'm guessing, but just checking since I like to play on super abundant)

Dale · Sep 22, 2010, 09:57 PM

Do you mean advanced options?

Kruelgor · Sep 22, 2010, 10:22 PM

Hmmmm. I just tried TSL Earth Large. I maximized the number of civilizations and city states in the settings. I was Russia and it put me in Australia along with Rome and some other civilization there on Australia.

I'm going to try the TSL Earth Huge and see.

edit: nevermind, you have to click on the "load scenario" button. It works.

Kruelgor · Sep 22, 2010, 10:36 PM

I tried TSL Earth Huge, maximized the number of civilizations and city states and it stuck me (Russia) in central Africa.

I will now try it without adjusting the number of civilizations see what happens.

Shiggs713 · Sep 22, 2010, 10:47 PM

you HAVE to have load scenario checked. Basically I don't think you can go into advanced setup because if you do there is no load scenario button to check. I looked quite vigorously and it was not there, but if you don't go into advanced setup... only go the "set up game" screen and launch from there.

btw I loaded up as Japan, and I was in the correct spot, not what I was expecting but I'm not complaining. Anyhow there real problem is that I can see some city state on the other side of there world, and the fog of war isn't removed either. I've met a few civs from there too, so still some bugs.

No luck. I didn't change any settings this time and it still didn't work. Civilizations were randomly scattered everywhere.

Kruelgor · Sep 22, 2010, 10:50 PM

ahhh...ok. I got to click on the load scenario button. Man, I can see where a lot of new people aren't going to figure this out right away.

Kruelgor · Sep 22, 2010, 11:18 PM

Hmmm. The AI has a tendency to establish its capital where it doesn't belong. It would be nice if the capital cities were already established in its proper spot when the scenario begins.

BTW, you just highlighted you don't read instructions.

That's been in the OP all along.

Yeah confirmed. I'll have to fix it up and upload a V2. They mentioned this over at 2k forums as well.

Shiggs713 · Sep 23, 2010, 02:37 AM

wow, thats probably the worst english I've used in a long time. Great mod/map Dale, I'm playing emperor/epic as England currently and having a blast. So much better having everything in its place.

Are the resources in the right places?
I'm from NZ so I don't get ciV till tomorrow and so I can't download to check.

No only Civs. I ain't spending a month researching and placing correct resources.

Well hopefully someone does! I might create a rough approximation using the Earth map which came with cIV.

Flash1 · Sep 23, 2010, 05:18 AM

Okay, I enabled the mod. However, when I go back to setup game the maps do not show up. What am I doing wrong?

Did you enable the mod (click the tick button)?

Flash1 · Sep 23, 2010, 05:46 AM

yes, I finally got the button to light up. (didn't want to turn on).

Just found out you can't custom it. Anyway to use more than 12 civs?

Dale · Sep 23, 2010, 06:03 AM

Use a bigger map.

Trust me, when I was placing the civs, I went no closer than 4 hexes between each. Less than 4 and you won't even fit one productive city each in Europe.

The problem is there is too many European Civs.

Flash1 · Sep 23, 2010, 06:07 AM

Dale I understand.

Why won't the save game work?

I loaded the huge map as Rome. it put me between Ragula and venetia.

I saved first, so I could see if I could move off of the cows. Of course not. so I went to reload and couldn't.
