	</Civilization_Start_Region_Priority>

But these start region priorities are only biases -- they are not guarantees. Morocco can start nowhere near a Desert for example.

There's no way using XML or SQL that you can force a civilization to always start in a particular terrain type or region of Hills, Tundra, whatever.

I found this mod:

This civilization always appear in snow terrain, and i found nothing about "Civilization_Start_Region_Priority". Where i need write it in???

That mod uses some crazy lua coding techniques to force the desired starting conditions for the Inuit Civilization.

You can add table Civilization_Start_Region_Priority to literally any xml or sql file within your mod, but people generally add it in the same file where they define the civilization.

If you are trying to edit the game's original xml files in order to give a Tundra starting bias to any civilization you choose to play as, or want to give a Tundra starting bias to any modded civilization you choose to play as, this will really not work because you would need to give the bias to every single civilization that is part of the base game, and individually within the code of every modded civilization. And once you add all these biases for Tundra starts you will likely have very odd results at the least.

A bit more information on what exactly you are trying to accomplish would be of help.
