Start Locations

[ToD.MB]

I can't believe nobody's noticed this monumental flaw in the editor yet.

YOU CAN'T CHOOSE WHERE INDIVIDUAL CIVS WILL START! Isn't that the main point of an editor, so people can create 'real' maps and fight various wars? What good's a Europe map if Britain doesn't start in London and France in Paris, etc?

The editor's not bad apart from that. I can't believe this isn't a major point on the forums!

Am I wrong? Is there a way to choose which 'Player Start Location' is for which player? And if not, why not? Firaxis - will a patch rectify this chronic error?

You are correct, you can't set start locations. Don't worry though, you aren't the only one that has noticed, it is a major gripe (with good reason) of anyone who wants to make a scenario.

Here is one of many example: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=32613

Cheers, Quinalla!

The post you sent me to is huge, and this gives me some hope that Firaxis (who must monitor these sort of sites) will take heed.
