@Plef
you really don't need to spam your shitty map under other people maps comments. If it's good enough people will use it. You know that, right?

Excellent map, did a full playthrough and it was a blast

Cool map!

The gray maps in the images show the default spawns 1-10. You can change them in the map editor

I would like a list of where each player starts. I tried several times to begin in north or south america but no dice or mo Buenos !!

Is there any way we can get the listed start locations of each player slot? Thank you so much for making this excellent map btw!

我开了两把，每次出生点都固定在同一个位置。棉花堡和火山之间。

@TheCr33pur: The game uses fixes slots, there's no way to randomize it. But you can switch to multiplayer, pick another slot, and then switch back to single player and you start somewhere else.

Enjoy the mod for one game or maybe two, but i didnt like getting spawn in Ukraine every time. So unsubscribe it and stick with random for more interesting game play.

First time i play this game with this mod, i ended up at Ukraine lol. No i didnt make a Russian type, it was more of Japanese instead. Wish there a way can start by option and culture starting points.

The map size tells ya what size it is in-game.

what's the map size?

Would be nice if you could add to the description the number of tiles and territorries ;-D

I wish the Border sectors were Historically accurate

Heh sorry for poking you then

Heh, I was a bit busy with my own game jejeje

soon? :P

Could you make the Strangereal map from Ace Combat series?

@Centurion Yeah you need to start a private multiplayer game using the map then you can basically set where you want to spawn.

You need to change the starting slot:

- Switch to multiplayer.
- Change slot.
- Go back to single player.

The game doesn't randomize them.

I love the map but I keep spawning in the Balkans

Pretty soon =)

I look forward to the adding the new oceanic natural wonders to the map whenever your able to. More natural wonders to horde! XD

There you go!

is this map going to release without dlc requirements?

after subscribing to this map in the workshop I cant seem to find it in the games custom maps when trying to start a new game, any idea whats going wrong?

@InfamousG15: Yeah, it seems something game related, though, sometimes some things don't load correctly compared to the map editor.

@Garkes: When you upload the map the thumbnail is autogenerated, it doesn't work for general mods yet.

Other than that last comment great map thanks

There is a river that doesn't stretch out to sea when you load the game. Its located in the territory with the Ha Long Bay. When youre in map editor it looks like itll reach but in game it actually moves back one square.

Well, done love the details! How did you managed to add a thumbnail? I'm trying to port over my mods, but the thumbnail is a mystery for me...

Blechwalze is correct, but you can switch back to single player and the slot is kept (so you don't deal with MP interface and such).

Denveldon in a Privat Multiplayer Game you can Set your Startposi at your Player Slot, Slot 1 will Always Spawn at 1, if your set you in Slot 2 your will spawn at 2 but this is Only possible in a Multiplayer Game to switch your slot, Solo you Always Put in 1

แจ่ม

is possible to start on different start pos? no matter what i do i always start around greece

Yes I was afraid the game engine is limiting the competitors count
Would it be possible to start the game from Ancient Era and historical placement of major and free peoples that way so they wouldnt need to rely on spawning?
Or maybe there is an option where free people spawn rate can be dialed up like in Europe and Asia? Thought I doubt the map editor is so advanced as to mark regions for spawn rate like that

"This map is good, I like the elevations you put in there, makes it really fun. But as @zolobolo mentioned some territories are very big, specially in South America, where one territory in the Amazon is extremely big. Reducing territory size would also help with accelerated expansion"

In general I prefer playing with bigger territory sizes. I added slot 9 and 10 in the Americas in this version, but I originally had them in an "Old World" style with the Americas empty. I made the territories big there, especially in the amazon, to avoid making them too populated (like planting 3 cities in there as the combination of forest and rivers give amazing food and industry yields). Basically, using size to make the inhabited areas of the world (deep jungle, artic) less likely to be filled. In any case, I'll be making some tweaks to the map.

BTW, it's extremely easy and intuitive to tweak the map in the editor to adjust regions to your liking, let me know if you want some pointers =)

"Sadly the number of nations is limited by the game itself: would it be possible to place a ton of Independent Peoples on the map to slow down Ancient Era expansion and provide opportunities for fighting?"

No, that's code controlled, and you can't place minor civs in the map as if it were an scenario. I'm doing a mod that tweaks lots of things (especially making IPs more dangerous and harder to take), but I think I can't control the rate of appearance too much.

Trying to role-play as Roman Empire I also noticed there might be enough hexes in the Italic region to split it in two? That would help to expand Rome more granular (especially if the Northern part is occupied by Etruscans providing a first enemy and stopgap to Northern expansion :)
Would also consider placing another major faction start position around France so taking the entire European continent is a struggle
If region sizes do not need to be identical on the map I would consider operating with the smallest regions in European continent so its more difficult to spread there while keeping the game balanced with defacto larger continents having larger regions. This of course assumes the game allows for regions with varying sizes

Great map nice design solutions and placement of strategic resources also seems to have been paid attention to.

Thats just so cool. Thanks you for making such a nice mod.

Can you make a version of this that doesn't require dlc?

What do the borders of the territories look like?

you are a genius !! I like it

No, this is a map only that works with the game without any extra mods. Not sure if there's any mod that allows that.

you can add more civ slots? like 12 13 14 15 civs?

Uploaded pictures of the map plus of the 10 starting positions.
