I made a map in WorldBuilder and wanted to package it into a mod file with ModBuddy. The reason was the hope that I could load it properly without going through Mods/Single Player so that I could actually save my game (can't save when playing a map from Mods). When I packaged it into a map...

When playing a game in Mods, all player-made maps will appear in the drop-down maps list without having to go to Advanced Setup.

I found this the hard way (by making a huge map, not having it load, then deleting things slowly until I found the culprit). If you make a map that has a river terminating into itself (a closed-loop river), it will cause the map to hang Civ5 when trying to load it. Only task manager can kill...

Sounds like you haven't selected the "Load Senario" checkbox when selecting the map. You cannot enter Advanced Setup when you do, but it uses the defined start spots.

I installed Visual Studio 2010 earlier today and it seems I already had .NET 4.0, yet still no save buttons. Could it be due to the fact that Steam is installed on a different partition than the OS?

When I play a map through MODS, there is no Save/Load buttons in the ingame menu, basically meaning I have to play the entire map through or lose my game progress. Is there a fix for this?

I quickly made a simple map and started playing. About 3 hours in, I realized there is no save button in the menu. What's the point of making a map if you can't save ingame? Edit: Realized this thread doesn't belong here, how do I delete/move it?

Here is my take on what nukes should be like: Nukes in real life are a very serious matter and should be dealt as such in Civ 5 for maximum realism. They are not to be used for any random encounter, but only in the more dire of situations. I feel like once the players get into the stage of...

Well, I've only ever played against the AI in FF+. Usually I amass 40-50 missiles before war breaks out, a few on each base. Seeing how my starbases are on the frontier and the first line of defense, I can only use whats at each base (can't rebase missiles to starbases, only planets). Since...

I want to remove the ability starbases have that allow them to spawn missiles every 15 turns. I find it very irritating as they keep waking up my starbases and clutter up my unit lists. Plus they are almost useless (unless in huge quantities). I have searched through all the XML files, but...

Thanks Manifold, that's exactly what I was looking for. Time for some copy/paste.

I want to mod a map so that all AIs are at permanent war with each other. I tried setting them at war with each other at start, but about 10 turns or so they declare peace. I tried modifying the war prob/rand a bit, but still didn't seem to affect them. Is this possible from the map XML or do...

Don't know if this has been asked (not about to look through 700+ pages): How do I edit a map so that the starting age is different? Basically I want to play the standard Earth 18 Civs map but starting in the industrial era. That means that newly founded cities start with more buildings and...
