Worldbuilder

[snoochems]

Guys, i am curious, is there a world builder in Civ 5 that allows you to make changes to the map you're currently playing. aka, the Civ 4 world builder?

I've had a look a the World Builder for Civ 5, but it doesn't allow me to import a map I am already playing. I like having a look at a map when I first start a game. I used to like giving a couple of civ's (not near me) a few great people so they have that head start and become dominant. Ah... good times.

I was wondering what that tool did. But I can't get anything but a command line looking screen with didly squat options etc. Love these tools that require you to have an double engineering degree in computer science and software development.

EDIT: I should try googling before ranting. Still... why did they make it you have to change an ini file parameter, and why does the Firetuner help contain nothing?

There are many things in Civ5 that defile logic.Worldbuilder is one of them.Why they didn't include a Civ4-style editor?
1)Players won't cheat.This could be avoided by another point in set-up menu.Allow use of worldbuilder - check.Now you can use it.For MP games - make all players check that box in the menu so nobody could cheat.
2)Players could not get easy achievemets with it.Who cares about achievements?Make a Half-Life2 - Portal system:If you used worldbuilder just once in a current game - no achievements for you.
Easy,right?

the firetuner has a lot of potentiality, and allow a lot of change on current game, except terrain type.

btw, I think that you don't get achievement when using the firetuner, and you can't use it in mp.

The main problem for a civ4 type WB is a graphic one, seems they didn't manage to allow the terrain to reload, it's done only once at map generation (or when re-loading a game, meaning you can change terrain with Lua on a current game, but you'll need a reload to see it).
