Seafaring AI Capital Not on a Coast

[Spoonwood]

With AI respawn off, has anyone seen this before?

 

[jarred!]

I didn't have any saves that showed a seafaring civ spawning off-coast, but that doesn't mean anything.


Try this biq on a tiny map. I made it smaller, 20x20, with max civs. Seems to me the starting locations get placed with the civs('s traits) in the game being considered.

Edit: well, .biq is not a supported file type, but it's an easy enough one to make and play a few test games (remember to use debug mode from the scenario settings).

While i cannot confirm having seen it, i do recall that it is supposed to be a possibility. There is no guarantee for seafaring tribes to start at the coast.

This is written in the readme file of C3C:

Btw.: It seems a screenshot attached to post 1 of this thread, at least on my pc, is not appearing any longer. May be it was lost in the CFC transfer. My reply is only based on the descriptions in the texts of this thread.

There does not seem to be any attachment in that first post here nor in the old forum

May be there is a case of telepathic communication in post 1 and post 2 of this thread.

Nah, just read the title and the first post

I didn't post a screenshot in the first post. I took and posted a screenshot in the succession game where I saw it though.


Maybe jarred! had a screenshot for post 2?

So there was a screenshot (in another thread) but the information about this was missing in this thread.

 

[jarred!]

I never saw a screenshot, and didn't post one! I tried to upload a .biq but it failed, and I said that.

I just read the thread title and first post as if it were a newspaper article: subject; byline.

It seems I should start to read English newspapers.
