I'd like to be able to play Advanced Start games where the world starts out completely settled by civs, with the whole world map visible to everyone. It would be cool to try out realistic Industrial/Modern era games where the world starts out controlled by powerful nations and you have to scramble for a tech/spacerace/culture/diplo/military victory instead of exploring/colonizing a new world with your fighter jets.
I've been able to get pretty close by starting games with more civs than the default number for the map size, which leads to a fairly settled world; but usually one or two civs will start next to some unoccupied land giving them a significant advantage through easy expansion. The only way I can figure out to reveal the map is to do it manually by using WorldBuilder after starting, which is kind of cumbersome.
Has any mod enabled this kind of feature, or is there any straightforward way to accomplish something like this? Thanks in advance for your help!
