Worst Starting locating thread

Well, it is SOME cheat mode, because there is no black unexplored squares anywhere, and it is obviously still early in the game, yet he's researching Synthetic Fibers. Plus, he tried to hide the date and the gpt.

Probably.

Although, if he researched Satellites, that would explain the no darkness.
(Satellites reveals the whole map to you).

Heh, date is 1450BC and my $ is through the roof. Reason? Got bored and felt like screwing around with a game trainer to see how the medival age AI would respond to a nuclear attack... The answer? The same way it would normally....
But its fogged due to the Satilate (horrible spelling sorry) research.
Settings:
Huge, Continents, 60% water, Temperate, Whatever the normal amount of wetness, and 5 Billion years. I can send you guys the seed number if you want.

 

[choxorn]

I know that. It's likely that he just used a cheat to get a bunch of techs.

Been randomly creating maps (250X250) using the INEMONH rule set, and I came across this start location on the editor.

That map is pretty weird. Its more like a pangea map with a huge river in the middle. Do you have a seed?

 

[Mazeura]

All the maps I create using the map editor are similar to that. Its really wierd.

Ok, wasn't made in the editor, so I'm using CAII hoping that it shows the seed number... >.>

Um, I can't find it on CAII. So I'm going to try to reverse engineer the seed number in game.

EDIT: Ok, just loaded the save file and then went into "Play Last World" option, and it gives me the seed number: 15603959. I'm checking it now though.

EDIT 2: It looks similar to it, but I guess that there is always a random generation even with the seed number.
On a side note, is there anyway to have a custom avatar?

EDIT 3: Found the GSE/ Speed Beast (Which is just awsome, IMHO) and used it so here are the correct settings:

Barbarians: SEDENTARY.

Climate: WET.

LandForm: CONTINENTS.

What's the point of scouts when they can't move?

That's why expansionist is a bad trait .

 

[Diviner]

well there is some goody hut, sometimes i am an expansionist and i don't find goody hut anywhere, thats maybe worse than this. but yeah this start position is not so great

 

[Ansar]

The river just stopped where you settled?

That's a weird river...

Maybe he's playing on a higher level and goody huts don't give you good stuff.

If you're expansionist, nothing bad cam come out of a goody hut.

Yes but you only can get maps or warriors.
