Game setting presets?

[Nog]

The game already saves the last selected map type, difficulty, etc. so when you start a new single player game, it uses those last settings.

However, anything you change under Advanced setup never gets saved.

So I need to keep switching water level to Low, resources to Legendary Start, etc.

Anyone know if there is a file I can edit to save these presets so they are the defaults?

Thanks

A better question would be, anyone know how to regenerate the map

Well, I guess that would serve my purpose too but I rather have the settings stay so when I want to play a new game, I don't have to remember to tick them all off and not miss one until you are father into the game before you realize.

Yes there is. It is the file 'config.ini' which you should be able to find in 'My Documents/My Games/Sid M's Civ 5'.

The second half of this file (the [game] section) contains what you are looking for. These are all pretty self explanatory. The victory conditions setting is a bunch of 1s (meaning ticked); if you wanted to make the third on the list be unticked automatically each game, you would edit this to: 11011111

Yeah, but unfortunately there are no headings/sections for the advanced selections - only top level.

I edit config.ini but popup on Play Now still shows old settings, is it working for you guys?

Yeah, a Regenerate Map option would be useful...
