Fun Start: Korea isolated on a landmass with 4 CSs

[Archon_Wing]

I think I picked continents, but somehow ended on a continent on my own with 4 City States! As Korea too; which meant it was just a massive buildfest. Also thanks to popping a hut, I have Goddess of the Harvest. So I figured I might as well share it.



Unfortunately, I don't have the turn 1 save so I can't extract the seed unless there's some other methods and this leaves me pretty annoyed that they don't do that. So unfortunately, the earliest save I have is turn 26 and thus anyone would have to deal with the tainted first 26 turns [I think i researched Craftsmanship really late too somehow] But at least you'd have Goddess of the Harvest.

So it looks like this; I think it's best to build a slinger next.


Settings: Aztec DLC, Rise and Fall, Deity (but it really isn't since you're Korea), No Mods
I think most people have the Aztecs so it should be pretty simply to open with R&F

Game Seed: 880823314
Map Seed: 880823315
Map: Continents
Mods: None
DLCs: Aztec only
Size: Normal

You can find the seed by opening the game in hot seat; the seed shows in the lobby.

Also everyone has Aztecs now.

Well, let's give it a shot; updated the post.

EDIT: Do we have to pick the exact same leaders too?

I have never understood the 'map seed' thing. Typing those numbers (or any other numbers I have found online) have never ever (ever) resulted in the same map that the original poster is playing.
I would assume what I would have to do is select the same civilization, map type size and speed, and then type in the map and game seed numbers provided. Unfortunately, this never produces the results I would expect.

And like I said earlier, I don't understand how it could work either -- the size of the seed does not change with map size, it is always a 9 digit number .....

To be clear, I am not talking directly about the OP here. I am talking about anywhere online where you can find these "map seeds".
I am obviously missing something, my comprehension of how it works notwithstanding.


This is what I get with these particular seeds, and I will get a different map every time, even with the same seeds.

The key is that you need to have all the same options selected, including which DLC you have installed. So something as simple as you having the Poland DLC and they do not could be enough to prevent you from being able to use the seed properly.

Ah ok, because I do own every DLC. That must be the reason. Thanks!

Yea I have only made it work once.

I think you have to pick the same civs to, due to start bias but that is an utter pain and also kinda spoils the game itself.

I will try to list the civs too but hopefully someone will just have opened my save and get it from there.

A "seed" is just needed to generate "random" numbers. (Which are, in truth, not so random). It doesn't really "code" for the map.

Ok let's try this again
Game Seed: 880823314
Map Seed: 880823315
Map: Continents
Mods: None
DLCs: Aztec only
Size: Normal
Speed: Normal
Rest is Default I think

Leaders
Player: Seondok
Tomyris
Pedro
Teddy
Hojo
Cleo
Wilhelmina
Chandragupta

Ok it worked. You don't need to pick the leaders besides yourself as Korea, I just mixed the game and map seeds.
