Thank you so much! I was going crazy from the AIs always starting right in my backyard!

And thank you so much Alkeari for updating it!

Thank you for updating this Alkeari, I really appreciate that people can make use of what I did at the time and I’m very happy that you took the time to update it. Feel free to continue doing so and don’t worry about crediting, thank you for asking.

I updated the mod to work with the latest update: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3427012096

I did so because I really wanted to use this mod and many members of the community have been wanting to use this mod. Sadly, it hasn't been updated for nearly 6 years.However, if the mod author would like me to take it down I will absolutely do it. I did my best to give as much credit to the original author as possible as I am not seeking to steal the work they put into it merely allow myself and those that wish to use the mod to be able to use it again.

Doesn't work with the full content of all DLC.

I dont think this mod is usable with the current game state. I cannot play without this mod and would love to see it updated.
STuRoK 1 Mar, 2021 @ 10:03am 
Awesome thanks Kemy!

There's a setting in the GlobalParameters.xml called START_DISTANCE_MAJOR_CIVILIZATION which is default set to 12. Change it.
Disturbed7fold 12 Sep, 2020 @ 12:03pm 
I will pay 10$ to have this updated as well lol. It's so annoying that I can't just put start positions in the map builder. Like why isn't that a thing??
turbo 11 Sep, 2020 @ 3:29pm 
I will also throw down $10 to see this updated
LOBO 17 Aug, 2020 @ 9:56am

BOYZANTIUM 16 Aug, 2020 @ 2:21am

Truewan 11 Dec, 2019 @ 1:43pm 
Using this as Russia will make you start at the ass end of the earth
Ingolenuru 11 Nov, 2019 @ 8:35pm 
Add me to the please update team! Thank you very much.
Starfire512 18 Oct, 2019 @ 7:35pm 
YES, really need a Gathering Storm update please.
Swarsbuckler 18 Aug, 2019 @ 3:17pm 
GS update when?
Rootimus 7 Jul, 2019 @ 3:33am 
From what I can tell, they made it significantly better but didn't succeed in fixing it.
Traveler 7 Jul, 2019 @ 1:16am 
So did the June patch fix this?
Rootimus 2 Jun, 2019 @ 6:20am 
An update for the mod is pointless until Firaxis un-fuck the fact that their game ignores mods like this. :steamsad:

According to Dennis Shirk, the clumping of city states has been fixed - the *assumption* is that it'll be part of the next patch that we'll potentially see this coming week. That said, no-one from Firaxis has explicitly said that's when we'll see it.

It remains to be seen whether or not they'll make the other settings in this mod work.
Harlequin 1 Jun, 2019 @ 1:10pm 
@Jerzat - Any way to get an update?
abuchristim 6 May, 2019 @ 5:49am 
Sure could use an update. :steamhappy:
Breadsmith 4 Apr, 2019 @ 4:16pm 
This mod seems to revert the Statue of Liberty to it's pre-GS state. Not sure if this is a thing with just this mod, or all incompatible mods.
X-Commando 3 Apr, 2019 @ 11:40am 
gs update please :steamhappy:
Kuroi.Kitsune 25 Mar, 2019 @ 7:35am 
I use "Zee's Distance Is A Good Thing" now for those purposes.
Ran The Kitsune 23 Mar, 2019 @ 11:00pm 
Anyword on a GS update? I am tired of other civs 5-9 spaces away
azmundai 4 Mar, 2019 @ 5:42pm 
I seriously doubt they managed to "Spread out all Civilization and City-State starting positions where possible when generating the map." I can generate a large map with 2-3 civs taken out and still have ppl 8-9 tiles away.
Sabbu 26 Feb, 2019 @ 5:40am 
Thanks you Jerzat for this outstanding mod!
pls update :)
Serp 25 Feb, 2019 @ 9:13pm 
strange, the game patch states:
"Spread out all Civilization and City-State starting positions where possible when generating the map."
So I thought this mod might be obsolete now, but it is not?
OysterCultist 22 Feb, 2019 @ 8:19pm 
Man I hope this one gets updated. I constantly keep spawning with 3 or more civs right next door. So annoying.
Arena22 22 Feb, 2019 @ 5:07pm 
GS update?
Kuroi.Kitsune 20 Feb, 2019 @ 2:09am 
Seeing AI cramping their cities within 3 tiles of each other on enormous map just makes me very annoyed...
chenyandodo_4312 19 Feb, 2019 @ 9:55pm 
please please please ! I need this !!!!
abuchristim 17 Feb, 2019 @ 12:47pm 
Please do. I love this mod!
Jerzat  [author] 17 Feb, 2019 @ 5:40am 
I'll look into updating this mod as soon as I can. Will have to study what's changed :)
blakesays 15 Feb, 2019 @ 1:33am 
would be great if this could be updated! thank you!
棒冰 14 Feb, 2019 @ 6:05pm 
Please update this :).thanks
Skatman 6 Feb, 2019 @ 12:36pm 
Not sure if it's possible, but it would be great if you could have an option that puts computer opposition (not overly bothered about city states) on a different island when playing on island maps?
Kepos 1 Nov, 2018 @ 4:52am 
Looking for working starting mods a long time.

Is there a way to make your mod work with ricardo's PerfectWorld6 ?
Burgermeister 27 Oct, 2018 @ 6:31pm 
This NEVER works for me. And, no I don't set it high. If I leave it at 9, theres someone 5 spaces away. And yes, I've tried all different sizes and any other silly suggestion. It just Doesn't work.
Jerzat  [author] 30 Aug, 2018 @ 2:08pm 
@TheDoomsDayKiller thank you for the appreciation ! As for your request, look up the mod named “CityRangeUp5”, it should do exactly what you asked for :)
Little Foot 29 Aug, 2018 @ 12:42am 
Love the mod. Do you think it would be possible to make one kinda like this only it adjusts how close to another city you can creat a new one. Specifically extending the limit from 3 tiles to 5. I get very annoyed when there is tons of open space great for ssettling and then the AI decides for some reason to park their new city as close to mine as possible.
Winter Wolf 16 Aug, 2018 @ 7:29pm 
It's been a while since I deleted CIV VI and moved on to other games for now, but I am certain my #of civs was far less than the size of the maps suggested. Typically I like large maps and 3-5 civs total. No more than 4 city states as well.
Jerzat  [author] 16 Aug, 2018 @ 1:41pm 
@Winter Wolf as UncleElias said, please verify that you are using a large enough map for the number of civs you are adding. I haven’t been playing in some time and there has been at least one update meanwhile, but the way this is implemented, I do not believe Firaxis would go out of their way to undermine mods to this behavior. If the problems persist, I will look into it in the next few weeks :)
