Civ starting location

[bevel]

Please forgive me if this is
1: not in the right forum location
2: been answered somewhere else

I have an earth map from the forums here and i have made a few tweeks to it to start myself playing at a higher difficulty level for one of the civs (America), with as far as i can tell ALL civs have a set starting location.

However everytime i start up the game (yep going back to the other screen and checking the "scenario" radio button and starting as America, I often get placed in a completely different location (completely different continent sometimes from the American continent to somewhere in Europe. Also it has everytime (when i do start near the correct location) puts another civ city right on the edge of what will be (~4 hexes away from each other) of my city so that they are competing for tiles.

And is it possible for these scenarios to run properly in multiplayer?

I am honestly not sure what i am doing wrong, and i would greatly appreciate some help with this.

I think your problem may be with worldbuilder. If I recall correctly, the recent patch broke worldbuilder and we are now awaiting a fix for this.

There is a thread in the Confirmed Bugs section here that deals with the WB issue.

Perhaps someone else can shed more light on this for you.

its possible, but i had this problem before the recent patch. im thinking its some box not checked or something i dont know.

guess no one can help me do i need to post in another place? was this the wrong one?

so i take it no one knows then. when yall create a scenario to start at city building location yall let them build anywhere?

I select a tile and the start position on the Edit Plot tab of the Map Editor Tools to the civ i want. and then i hit the save button. the hex then has a slightly smaller circle within the hex that is white representing it is a starting point for a civ or a city state.

However sometimes the settler is north or south of this position (which is no big deal) and another civ will be right on top of me (and that civ supposed to have spawned elsewhere). Or in some cases: say on an Earth map, Ill select the US and i supposed to start (as i have all civs each with their own starting location) near the area of Washington DC in North America, however ill end up starting somewhere in Norway on the European continent.

Thank you for your help.

And thank you for moving it, i didn't know i put it in the wrong spot
