How do you select "Scrambled Continents"?

I just bought the scrambled continents pack, but when I load up a new game, I don't see anywhere to select them, nor do I see Africa listed, even though it is supposed to be in there, according to the store page on Steam.

The Scrambled Continents map pack includes real geographic locations with special scripts that produce randomized interiors each time a new game begins. While the familiar outline of the continent’s geography stays constant, the inner heart of the world changes each time you play for endless replayability on countless plausible worlds. Maps include Africa, Eastern Asia, North and South America, Western Europe, the Middle East, a thawed Antarctica, new scripted maps for Small Continents and Oceania, plus one map including all of Earth’s continents.

I don't see Africa, East Asia, etc. What did I do wrong?

Come on guys, please help me. I've bought these but can't find them anywhere when I set up a game. What do I do? Where are they?

I don't have it myself, but I think that the best way would be to go into Advanced Settings, and select it from the map type. There is a way to do it without the advanced settings, but it should still work.

I just bought this myself. I got the impression they weren't a discreet selection- they applied to whatever map you selected. Hopefully someone can set us straight.

Umm- I have already been there and it is not under map types.

Strange. I can't offer any other advice as I don't have it, but I'll see if I can find any reason.

Thanks. I just read a thread below and it seems to just scramble terrain on continents maps you select. You can't feel much love for it.

When you are in the main Setup screen, choose Select Map Type. Scroll down to the bottom (after "Additional Maps" and, if you have the Explorers Map Pack, "Explorers") to "Scrambled Maps."

Alternatively, if you go to the Advanced Setup screen and click the drop-down list of maps, the scrambled maps (Africa, Antarctica Thawed, etc.) are mixed into the map list in alphabetical order.

I apologize for my stupidity, Browd, you are correct, I found them all. Bless you and have a great weekend sir.

I can't find it anywhere either. On my map drop-down, there is no such thing as "additional maps" ; the bottom one is "east vs. west". Nor do I have "Antartica", thawed or unthawed. Are we playing the same game?

I believe you are looking in the advanced settings. Just go to the main "setup game" screen (where you can see the historical map of the civ you chose) and select your map from there.
