2 v 4 game setup

[thirach]

Hi guys,
I had a problem with Civ 5 yesterday and would very much appreciate any help!

My friend was over yesterday and we wanted to play a Multiplayer game of Civ 5. We wanted to play together as Team 1 against a bunch of AI which would play as team 2, team 3, team 4 and so on.
Now the game creation worked. However, when we were in the game, it seemed as if the map was not synchronized or something, I dont know how else I could describe the problem. We were in the same game und could see the each other. However, the map was not the same. For example, on my screen my settler and warrior were standing on desert right next to coast. On his screen, my settler (which he could see because we were playing as a team) was standing in a completely different environment, for example on plains and not even near coast. If I or he moved units, it showed on the other screen, but the map was still not the same. So for example, if I used my settler to create a city, it would show on his screen, but the city's environment was totally different on both screens.
We tried to create a game both on Local Lan and Internet.
Any help would be much appreciated!

thanks in advance,
thirach

hi komodowaran,

thank you very much for your answer!
It happened on the normal "Continental" Map.
Yes, one of us had additional content in map folder (NQ Map Pack).
Not sure what you mean with "resync". We didnt even finish first round because due to map not being the same, we thought there must have been an error with game creation and did not play at all.

How could we solve the problem?
Should I delete any additional content in map folder? What else could we try?

Thanks in advance!

Thats the problem right there

Hi

This is a bug, yes currently the maps pack messes with the base maps. I have fixed this and the next maps pack update will contain a fix for this.

in other words: Till Hellblazer brings out the fix for the mappack u need to remove it from the map folder when playing a normal map since it will mess with map generation


I hope i could help u
