There is a small problem with custom maps once you apply the 24 civ edit into the .dll or run one of the mods that use said .dll
Unless there are 24 Civ's Defined it will crash. You can though set some of those civs to none and as a matter of fact need to in order to get the map to run.
One of the guys (Strategyonly) found this issue while helping me edit a map that will turn out to only have 20 civ's in it. We then loaded up a standard 18 civ "Clean" map and also saw it crash. I then took a working map and deleted a civ and it crashed. Rhye's 23 Civ no celt map proves that it is possible to run less that 24 but he defined that 24th Civ and set it to none.
Let me copy from my original post in my Mod's Thread......
This was all done loading my mod first
1) Loaded your Clean map of the world (huge) game crashed
2) Copied the Pantastic 24 Map and Removed the Celts (I was going to do this anyway) I deleted both the Player and Team Slots for the Celts GAME CRASHED
3) Loaded the Original Pantastic 24 Game Ran
4) I noticed that if the file is incorrect when you get to the screen that shows the map size it will say small reguardless of what is set in the file, this lead me to believe that something was causing the file to be misread. The only change was removing the Celts. I then checked Rhye's 23 Civ Map (No Celts) and noticed he had all 24 Player/Teams Definded but the celt one was set to None as I posted above
5) Added back what I posted above and copied another BeginTeam/EndTeam section
6) Map now ran
Essentially to anyone running the 24 civ hack, NO map file will run unless it has 24 civ's defined.
So to get whatever map you want to work with it, just flesh out the BeginTeam/EndTeam And BeginPlayer/EndPlayer to total 24 and just set the ones not in use to none
BeginPlayer
LeaderType=NONE
CivType=NONE
Team=23
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE
EndPlayer
Hopefully this information helps some map makers out there.
