Maps with DLC

[MAHRana]

I wanted to ask what would happen if I made a map including Babylonia. Would the map work with those without the DLC (by excluding Babylonia in the map) or will it not work at all?
Thanks

While I can't say definitively, I'm pretty sure the answer is "not work at all".

For instance, if you go over to the Succession Game forum, one of the big problems they dealt with is that savegames made by people who had Babylon as a civ (meaning people who bought the deluxe edition) wouldn't work on the computers of those without Babylon, even if Babylon wasn't a civ in the current game. Someone had to whip up a little utility script that would alter the savegame file's header to be compatible with everyone else.

Given that, I'd say the odds of the game automatically adjusting in the way you describe to be pretty low.

I think that if you've just set a starting position it will replace babylon with a random civ. If you've added babylonian units or cities, I suppose it will crash. Need to be tested

Thanks, I'll just post it up with Babylon and only its start position and see how it goes. By the way Gedemon, nice tutorial on starting locations!
