does not appear

i don't like sand it's coarse and rough and it gets everywhere

I'm gonna have some fun downloading the Immortan Joe led civilization and playing it here.

If you're struggling with this map, try opening up the file on Worldbuilder and adding in a few rivers and flood plains in the gorges.

How can i play this map? Can't see it in the list of maps. (Yes, i did go to Mods and selected it.)

0/10 needs more water

If you want to play it multiplayer, you and the other players have to install the map manually.

Multiplayer:
You can make the map appear in regular Single Player and Multiplayer by putting it in the main game files.
You do this by copying the .civ5map file found in Documents > my games > Sid Meiers Civilization V > MODS
and placing it inside
C: > Program Files > Steam > Steamapps > Common > Sid Meiers Civilization V > assets > maps.
This will work with ANY Workshop Map. (Not mods or scenarios.)

is this mod multiplayer?

Yep, that worked for me. I added start positions to the map myself, and now I can run it fine. I even have a bunch of other mods running with it. BTW, Morrocco is not the power house on this map... its the Inca! Their terrace farm on any area with mountain-laced hills, that's where its at :)

So I am having the same issue, instant-defeat screen. I decided to try to go to the map file itself, and from what I could tell, it doesn't have pre-assigned start positions, as the descriptions says it does. Maybe that is the reason that issue is cropping up? I'm gonna try to adjust the file so see if that was the ssue. (I could be wrong, as I am not super familiar with the map editor and all that.)

Fun gameolay on this map!!!

This map do not work.

I also get the "defeated" screen every time. Removing random start locations doesn't work. Using the "Really advanced setup" mod to force all civs to start with a settler (and a warrior) doesn't work either. Has anyone cracked the case?

This isnt the map we are looking for. (but well done)

Keeping getting the defeated screen. Any thoughts on the problem?

Did your fix to get the maps to appear, it did, after loading I got told I had been defeated immediately, this happened twice, haven't tried again yet. Any suggestions?

Yeah. Having the files on a different drive is an extremely common thing nowadays. The problem is that they made it so when you activate the mods, it makes the changes on C: drive by default. It used to happen with all mods, but then they fixed it, except they forgot to do it with map packs, too.
All I can do now is hope that they read my emails.

Dang, I was really hoping to play this but I got the whole blue screen as if the world was an ocean. I thought copying the folder to maps *and* having it in Mods would work. Any idea when 2K might fix this given that Civ V is considered "complete" now.

I would think having your stuff on a different drive would be something a lot of people do. Oh I think it would be interesting to play this at a higher level of age using the Alpha Centauri Civ mods to show them landing on a very different Planet.

Thanks for trying to figure this glitch out.

good

*map

the ma never loaded for me? like fog of war all over and it would go black. then i would get the defeated screen.

I played it. First of all, you need the poor tiles tweak mod otheerwise u lose at turn 0. Second you need more starting spots. At the start there are only 5 spots for cities. (Checked with reseed mod.) And later in the game, around turn 10, 2 à 3 more cities are settled. Third it's almost impossible to play. Barbs are pillaging everything u have and u can't make enough money to supporrt and army. Also only 2 starting locations have a luxury. Nice map but needs some work.

*Cough* nerd... *Cough*

NNNNNOOOOOOOO - I got the unsolvable "no settlers, defeated screen". Looks like a good map though :)

Looks good, a Tatooine or Sand Raider Civilization mod would go well with this.

How do i activate this? i subscribed and enabled it in user made content menu, its not showing up on the list of maps

Petra must be so overpowered on this map!

Reducing AI to 10 and city states to 20 did not change the problem, and i definitely do not have it in my assets folder.

Placing it in Documents > my games > Sid Meier's Civilization V > maps
works for me.

If you had put it in assets earlier, you should delete it, just in case that's the one that is showing up on your list instead.

Try the map with no more than 24 City States, too.

Well, I'll look forward to that workaround.

I'm sorry man. It looks like you'll have to wait until 2K fixes the problem with map mods for people who installed on different drives.
On the bright side, this won't be happening to you with most maps in the workshop.

I'm still going to be running some tests to see if I can find a workaround.

yes, i put it where you said, and i tried running it without the mod and the same thing happened.

That's what happened to Nico. Hmm. You placed the map in Documents > my games > Civ V > maps?

I know that error happens for sure in common > Civ V > assets > maps.

Try to run it in regular Single Player on the main menu instead of through Mods.
If it works there it might just be another mod that isn't compatible with it.

So I tried starting a game on the map and I am defeated as I start the game. It looks like it doesn't even spawn my starting units.

Have fun, man. Remember to pick a Civ that won't struggle too much in the desert. There are low yields in areas that don't have many resources.

Thank you very much! i'm sure i will play this map a bunch.

Map will be in Documents > my games > Civ V >MODS > Tatooine (v. 12).
You take the .Civ5map file from that folder and put it inside Documents > my games > Civ V > maps

Is the map supposed to be found in your assets folder? because even though i've subscribed to this, the map does not show up in the folder. I do have it instlaled on a different drive, so i can't just plug-n-play, apparently

Found out it works if you place it in Documents > my games > Sid Meier's Civilization V > Maps instead of common > Sid Meier's Civilization V > assets > maps.

If it doesn't find the map in there you'll want to make the path on the same drive Civilization V is in.

And to anyone who might be reading this that has Civ V installed on C:, you don't have to worry about any of this.

can you justput a small grass area somewhere to avoid the glitch?

@Nicothemic: The Tatooine map won't work if installed directly in the game's assets. It can only be played through Mods.

What's happening is that despite you manually copying the map to assets, it's not setting any of the starting points contained in the map. It's apparently one of the functions that only happens when activated through Mods.

Fortunately, you'll barely encounter this, as most maps don't require starting points (only full desert/snow maps).

I'm going to be sending 2K an email about fixing the problem with maps when installing the game on a drive other than C:. I'll also try to see if there's a file in the game that can be modified to make the maps install correctly for those of you with the game on different drives.

Any other map in the workshop should work for you by inserting it directly into the assets though.

That happens when the set starting positions aren't working or when you put too many city states. I'll modify them to see if it fixes them. Thanks for the info.

You did a solid on everyone who had the game on a different drive problem though, since no one seemed to have figured out what was happening.

Okay, spoke too soon. I can set up the game and start, but once it loads and the narrator has narrated, I only see clouds, and when I press "begin your journey" I immediately get a game over screen. other maps start up fine. This is so odd >_<

Aye, the game was probably trying to set them up in C: because it's the default setting.
Glad you found a solution. I hope that's what was going on with the others as well.
I'm going to see if there's some way to alter Civ so it places the maps in the correct folder when activated. It would save you guys the trouble of having to manually place every new map you get.

Nevermind, solved it. Apparently if you install the game to another drive than C: it fails to put the maps in the right directory automatically, and you have to go to my documents - my games - civ 5 - MODS and extract the maps, back to civ 5 and put them in the civ 5/maps directory!

It's an odd problem that only some people seem to be having. If I find anything about it I'll let you guys know.

I've got both G&K and BNW, and now I see that no maps at all work. Other mods work fine, but all map mods just fail to show up in the map list. Weird. And I'm running windows 7.

Some people had told me this happens from time to time with the workshop, but I did just now test the latest version by downloading it from the workshop myself.

Do you guys have the Gods & Kings expansion?

Hmm. still doesn't work for me. Got no other mods or anything...

On the other hand, none of my maps seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? And yes, I'm pressing "next" after activating the maps in the mod window.
