Standard Earth Map

Attached is the newest version of the SEM (Standard Earth Map).

Download and place map in:
.../fireaxis/civ4/beyond the sword/mods/caveman2cosmos/private maps

Note:
All the maps in the attachments do not require the SVN to play but you can still play them if you have the SVN but obviously won't include any newer resources added.

I encourage people to play-test these maps and report back with balancing issues. I also welcome any recommendations for changing of civ/resource placement. As I said it is only a beta release.

Reporting Balancing Issues

When reporting balancing issues please list the following for my convenience:

Difficulty Setting
Civ Played
Balance Issue in Question
(Optional) Your take on the reason behind the issue

To Do List:

Resources
I now have all of the resources on the map. Some fine tuning may be needed in the future though.

Civilizations
Still have the ability to add 12 more but running out of room on the map! Anyone have any requests?

Miscellaneous
Waiting to see what the other members of the map team think should be changed about civ placement, terrain and resources.
I think North America may need some work. It is my least favorite spot to edit, ironically, even though I live there!

Thank you so much for doing this!

I am going to down load and try these out right away!

Standard with 28 gives, default settings, Cyrus starts on a Mtn top start, 3 tiles N of where Greece starts.

No problem, I enjoyed it and there will be more coming soon!

Thanks for the report Hanny! Fixed in main download post.

Its something that occurs with some settings, units oddly get placed ( rageing barbs sometimes places combat units right next to other civs).

Uk starts with tiles displayed as known, in bottom left ( i asume they started there and you moved them) to fix this, use the *reveal all* in worldbuilder, and then when all units are placed, *hide all* them again and and the problem goes away!, in case you did not know.

Will solve Hydro number 1 as well.

@RidetheSpiral23

Some stuff I think you should fix, change or add for Standard Earth 28 civs.

1. When starting with Egypt I was already in contact with the Khmer and German civs. Also I could see German and Khmer land on the map (still fog of war though).

2. Why are there 2 Persias? Team #5 and Team#23

3. There should not be any Camels in South America, just Llamas.

4. Can you move China's starting position and add in Korea? (see attachments)

5. Can you add Aborigines to Australia? (see attachments)

6. Can you add Cherokee to North America? (see attachments)

7. Can you add the Maya to Central America? (see attachments)

8. Can you add the Tupi to South America? (see attachments)

9. Can you add Barbarian cities for civs that are not in the game yet? Such as Navajo, Jivaro, Tibet, Maori, Ainu, etc. (see attachments)

Hanny · Mar 20, 2012

Adding barb cities is tricky as they get named in a sequence, so look at the text file for it and add them in, then delete the ones you dont require, saves you haveing to edit the worldbuilder save.

@ Hanny

Thanks for the tips!

@ Hydromancerx

I will get to work making those changes as soon as I get the baby to bed. There is not a leaderhead for tupi, cherokee or aborigine?

Well there actually is, in the SVN copy

Hanny · Mar 20, 2012

I dont have SVN either, but they will look like this:V22 will be soonish, so perhaps wait till then?, or use a place holder civ and replace when V22 is out.

Ah that makes sense! I'm having trouble getting the SVN downloaded (not good enough internet). I tried downloading just the Custom Leaderheads from the svn and putting them into my C2C folder but it didn't work out. Just pink blocks all through the pedia

Hydromancerx · Mar 20, 2012

Oh and I forgot the Huns in Eastern Europe/Central Asia-ish! And yes they have a Civ on the SVN.

Depends on where you put them in the modules section, you just place them there in the folder that they came in, and you got to make sure also, that the MLF has that folder listed also, alot more to it then you think, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy.

Well the addition would be for the SVN. The next public version should be out in a week or so. So if you cannot get the SVN working at least the next C2C version should be out soon.

EDIT:

More bugs ...

1. I noticed you have some Methane resources on land (near Siberia). They should only in in water tiles. I think only work boats can improve them.

2. I did not see any Donkey resources on the map. Please add some. Maybe in the Middle East, Europe and North Africa.

RidetheSpiral23 · Mar 20, 2012

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to try to download the svn in chunks over the next couple of days so I can get those in. In the mean time I will fix the things that Hydro requested that I am able to an upload a new version.

Sorry for the hang up guys.

@Hydro

Donkey is not listed as a resource in the version I have but I will add it when I get the svn/v22. I will fix the methane though

Unless your in a hurry, i wouldn't do that till after the next version just as mentioned above by Hanny, cause it will be out in a week.

Thanks for your patience SO. I can wait until next week for the new version but I still wouldn't have access to the extra leaderheads correct?

Hydromancerx · Mar 20, 2012

This is a dumb question but how do you add a new civ to an existing map? I was editing the map on my own and used the random map as a base I put in a bunch of civs in the locations I wanted but then forgot Sitting Bull. How do I add him in without having to do it all over again from the random map?

Note I tried to copy and paste it from the 28 civ map ...

Code:

BeginPlayer
	[B]Team=27[/B]
	LeaderType=LEADER_SITTING_BULL
	LeaderName=Sitting Bull
	CivDesc=Native American Tribe
	CivShortDesc=Native America
	CivAdjective=Native American
	FlagDecal=Art/Interface/TeamColor/FlagDECAL_NativeAmerica.dds
	WhiteFlag=1
	CivType=CIVILIZATION_NATIVE_AMERICA
	Color=PLAYERCOLOR_LIGHT_BROWN
	ArtStyle=ARTSTYLE_NATIVE_AMERICA
	PlayableCiv=1
	MinorNationStatus=0
	StartingGold=0
	StartingX=14, StartingY=35
	StateReligion=
	StartingEra=ERA_PREHISTORIC
	RandomStartLocation=false
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_GOVERNMENT, Civic=CIVIC_ANARCHISM
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_POWER, Civic=CIVIC_OLIGARCHY
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_SOCIETY, Civic=CIVIC_PRIMITIVE
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_ECONOMY, Civic=CIVIC_COMMUNALISM
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_MILITARY, Civic=CIVIC_BANDITS
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_RELIGION, Civic=CIVIC_IRRELIGION
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_WELFARE, Civic=CIVIC_SURVIVAL
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_GARBAGE, Civic=CIVIC_NOTRASH
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_IMMIGRATION, Civic=CIVIC_NOBORDERS
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_EDUCATION, Civic=CIVIC_IGNORANCE
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_LANGUAGE, Civic=CIVIC_NO_SPEAK
	CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_AGICULTURE, Civic=CIVIC_NOFARM
	Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer

The part in bold I changed to the last number (which was 32). But when I tried to load it gave me an error.

Note that I thought the starting location would be ok since it was on the same map.

RidetheSpiral23 · Mar 20, 2012

Hum well did you change the starting x, y coordinates to the correct spot you wanted them to start?

Nevermind, just saw the bottom part.

It is hard to tell what went wrong without seeing it. If you want to upload the file I can check it out for you/
