Hi Gedemon, first off, this is an AWESOME mod! I've been following the progress on this thread for awhile and decided to try my hand at creating a custom map specifically to use your TCL mod on and try out some of the custom cultures out there. Everything was going great until I ran into an issue. I'm sure it's something I haven't done correctly but whenever I have "[TCL] Territory Loss on Culture Change" setting set to anything other than "None", whenever I go to select a new culture in the Classic era, I get the below screen. I've checked the logs and there is a critical error that says "The given key was not present in the dictionary" (second screenshot below). A few points.
- The custom map I am using is one I created Europe PLUS. I don't get this error using Giant Earth Map.
- In the example, I am using a custom culture (Etruscans) but I tested this on the other vanilla cultures too and ran into same issue.
- I can confirm that when I go to select a new classic culture, my existing Capital territory is in the right territory for the new culture. This would be territory 14 (Italia Centrale), which in the json file corresponds to the capitol for the Romans ("Civilization_Era2_RomanEmpire": [ 14, 13, 15, 7, 6 ],) which should work I would think right?
Spoiler TCL json :
Thanks again, tested your map with the mod, and the error was on my side, I didn't though to add a check for the case of Cultures that doesn't have any territory on a map (and now I need a way to hide them from the selection list)
So new alpha attached, can you try it with your mod/map ?
changelog
Code:
- add option to replace lagging major Empires by Independent People if there are not enough free slots left for New Empires
- add framework to load/save mod's data with a game
- cleanup of starting outpost code
- bug fix : display territory names instead of indexes when using the mod without the True Culture Location option
- bug fix : check if a Culture has a defined territory list before trying to get the listAnd good job, nice to see another map using this mod
As you've set 16 starting position in the JSON, the map will load with up to 16 player slots open, as for the Giant Earth, I'll update the option's description.

Worked like a charm! I'm now able to select cultures in the Classic Era. Thank you so much!

Hi,
I am a little puzzled with a lack of activity here -- everything was going on so intensively... Anyway, in the light of today's update and DLC I disconnected all the mods until they will be updated and still could not get random territory names on random vanilla map. Any clue as of why?

I need to test the new version with the DLC Cultures before releasing.
I'm still assessing the modability, if we can had new units models I think I'll go for the overhaul.
They've posted a general roadmap, but no details on modding (except something about the initial "day one" mod being released this summer I think)

Thank you, I understand that. But what is the reason that after I disconnect all the mods vanilla game shows numbers for all the territories on random map instead of random generated names?

Looking very interesting.
I was wondering if there was any plan of having the "empire rise & fall on culture change" feature available on randomly generated maps?
I know it wouldn't work as well as for a True Earth map, but I can imagine a mechanic where the number of era stars (for the current era) you have before progressing influences how many territory you lose to a splinter empire (representing a chunk of your people NOT wishing to undergo your reforms in a way, maybe selecting the city to secede by looking at stability). [Edit: was thinking maybe the splinter picks the transcendence culture instead of the one you picked, or become independent if you chose to transcend.]
Otherwise I'd wonder if there would be a way to have a .json file generated during the random map generation (as to have a script semi-randomly assigning territories to cultures 'on the fly' as the map gets generated) or another way to bridge this interesting feature with random maps.
Thanks again for creating this mod

I made the Terra Map for YnAMP in civ6 with a R&F gameplay on a (more) random map in mind, with territory shape being unknown but continent location being determined for spawning of new civs.
Then I adapted the YnAMP script to regroup Civilizations by Ethnicity to use their real world relative distance, so that I could also pre-determine Culture groups location on fully random map by assigning them an ethnicity and affinity with one or multiple civilization. That's what populated the map for my overhaul.
Of course with HK the later won't work, so my thought was back to a Terra Script first. But that won't be easy to code, so I'm pondering using a similar method as the one for ethnic placement based on real world distance, but with distance between territories instead of distance between Civilization capitals (using the coordinates of the territories central plots from the Giant Earth for reference)

quick update on the development: something changed and I need to find a fix to allow the mod to load for more than 10 players, and I'm also a bit busy IRL, so I can't be sure of a release date. I'll keep you informed.
well, good news, coding a fix was finally faster than what I feared, so the mod is finally updated on mod.io
@whiteclawsummer2019 if you plan to update your map with the json file, let me know, I'll link to it from the mod's page.
Code:
- add Africa DLC Territories for TCL (thanks to SeelingCat)
- DLC compatibility fix for >10 players: manually add a Random Avatar Summary to slots missing it@whiteclawsummer2019 if you plan to update your map with the json file, let me know, I'll link to it from the mod's page.
