[Answered] "Some" Map Types became unavailable

[dpeterman]

I was in the process of setting up a game and saw there were all the map types shown on the "Basic" Setup screen. Each of which had a globe to the left with some sort of image meant to convey what the selection looked like. When in Advanced setup you see the list without Icons. I had to close the game down to go do some other online stuff, when I returned I decided to setup a new game again as I didnt much like the previously setup game. When I arrived at the "Basic" setup screen I notice that there are not but a handful of Map types to choose from as the options of North vs South and East vs West map types could no longer be seen unless I were to go to the "Advanced" setup screen. Im a little unsure why I could see them one time and not the next.. nothing had changed. I only run one MOD at the moment and thats the Economy Balance Mod. It was enabled both when all map types were visable and then not. This obviously isnt a game stopper as I can use the advanced setup screen but am curious if I need to reload the game. Also having issues when I save, It wont always allow new names, somtimes I have to select an existing game and save over it
doesnt seem to matter how many files are in there..8 or 3. At times it works and other times it doesnt..

Thanks
for any input.

...er...as far as i know everyone sees only 3 maptypes + random option in the basic setup.
But can't check that, someone else has to confirm that .

Here's what I see for the default map types. Don't recall seeing anything else.

True, there are more options on the inside of advanced.

Yes thats what I see now. It's rather strange that I had seen more upon a time, though it would make sence for the additional map types to be there. Im not even sure that I always saw the extended list there, but know that I have selected maps from that screen such as east / west and Oval. I may try and sync my steam files and see if I get any results..maybe even unload my MOD first and then reload.. compiled with the recent save issues I also mentioned there is somthing wrong here..

OK I have figured it out. What I had done when I saw the extende3d choices was to select single player after selecting MOD from the initial menu. Regardless of MODs being loaded or not, you will see within the standard game setup all the different Map Types complete with little Globe Icons to suggest what they may look like. I want to see this feature put into the standard single player setup as well.. perhaps it is a mistake it isnt there already. OH WELL..Atleast I feel a little better about the whole thing. Thanks for everyones comments.
Peace
