Scenario starting locations

[lhc1971]

I made a world map and placed out starting locations in Conquests, editing nothing else. Whenever I choose a specific civ too be in the scenario, it switches my start point with another civs start point. IE., I choose America, get Spains start, and Spain gets America's start. I can do this with all the civs, it switches me out with some other civs start. If I choose Japan, I get Romes start, and Rome starts in Japan. Is this a bug?

Don't have anywhere too put up images sorry. But I am able too reproduce the error, in different self-created mods.

Edit: Yes I have triple checked, all civs in the scenario that are supposed too be in there, are checked in the correct areas of the editor, and all the starting the locations are avialable on the map. I even tried it once with all the locations, plus about 20 extra blank starting locations, it does not solve the problem. I am using 31 civs.

And I tried Spain, guess what, I start in Greece, and Greece starts in Spain.

Did you set the starting locations to a specific team?

Post a save or much better the biq file.

Really? I had no such problem in PTW. Did you make sure to answer "NO" when the computer ask to randomize the player starting location again at the start of the game?

I can't wait until I got my Conquest...

Somebody else pointed out that seafaring civs have to start next to the coast. That could be the answer to the wierdness...

I had the same exact problem and asked Gobi Bear. You have to turn on the "player data" flag in the scenarios. I think that makes it work. BTW, I have a world map scenario, based on TETurkhan's map with correct starting locations and complete fog of war. (there's a bug if you import a scenario from PTW).

You need to turn on the custom player rules to make this work

Chieftess and Bobt, thanks alot

I checked custom player data on the menu and it worked, everyone starts where they are supposed too, regardless of who I choose now.
