A question about starting points.

miike · January 28, 2002, 15:25

I have looked around the forumns and I have not found this particular questions asked, so here goes. I am starting to make custom maps and I need to know how to assign a specific starting point with a specific civ. So far, I have the starting points down, but it is completely random as far as which civ starts there. At least I think. Any help on this would be appreciated.

You can't assign starting positions with the editor. However, there are a couple of user-created programs that let you do this. Try a search for "starting position" in the Creation and Files forums.

Go to the following threadand find the most updated version of Civ3 Copy Tool.

Don't forget to read the instructions before messing around though

If you are going to use my format I suggest you use Civ3CopyTool to generate the CPF files (files used by my tools to move the civs of a started civ), and then makes CPT follow your map. If you want to see it in action you can download Marla's map. It uses CPT with a script that runs it so that the user doesn't have to do anything more then save the game at 4000 BC, run the tool and load.
