Setting Starting Locations Doesn't Work?

I've been trying to build a map where I set the starting locations of three different civs: Egypt (Player 1), Greece (Player 2), and Rome (Player 3)

Heres what I do:
-Open World Editor, make a new map
-Then I open scenario editor, add the three players in their respective order with Egypt as Player 1
-Close the Scenario Editor and click on the edit tiles tab
-I then choose 3 random spots and designate each of those spots as one of the three players

After that, I save the map, open up Civ, click on advanced options and find my map, then press back, check the "load scenario" button, and start game

When I load the game as Egypt, I don't end up in any of the starting locations

Is this broken or am I doing something wrong? Can someone else please check to confirm that this is not working by trying this out?
 
Apparently, from what other people have said, you've created a map, not a scenario.

Download the modding guide, and go to (around) page 73. You have to load the map into the ModBuddy and turn it into a scenario.

And if you get it to work, come back and let us know. I have my "Vauban Super-Special Island" mod I want to get done. :-)
 
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'm starting to mess around with modbuddy now
