do "better balanced map" for the updated version of this mod

This mod wasn't working for me (infinite loading screen) until I realized I forgot to disable YnAMP. I don't see any mention of it here in the comments so I thought I'd make this reminder in case it helps anyone else.

I don't think this works anymore

recently hasn't been working and i've spawned very close to opponents on every map for the past few weeks

Mod spawns you on mountains next to other players

Sparrow 28 Feb @ 7:53am 
but anyway, you created a great job for all of us!

also noticed that playing for civilization Maya, constantly appeared in the desert and/or on the cost sea, for now unbalance at all
Cattails 26 Feb @ 9:00am 
Um. Installed this. Generated 10 maps or so starting as Amanitore, and the majority of starts were in enormous deserts. The first couple rings surrounding the settler were great, and literally just multiple dozens of empty desert tiles with literally 0 resources or features in them.

Maybe this is interacting with the "Late Game AI" Mod. But this mod is literally unusable for me. Also had a crash first time trying to generate a game, which I have never had happen.

Discord invite link doesn't work anymore
Merlyn 17 Feb @ 10:36am 
Does it work on Linux
ST4RRY 17 Feb @ 10:05am 
Yea, it takes too much time to load the game. Just wait a few minutes
Scavenger 15 Feb @ 10:41am 
When this mod is active, I get an infinite loading screen. Does anyone know the cause of this or if there are potential clashes with other mods?
Merlyn 1 Feb @ 1:31am 
@kilian, last time I tested it in a solo game, it was working perfectly. Are you sure your crash is not related to something else ? Like the DX12 Civ 6 version (if you are on Windows) which is more prone to crash than DX11.
Kilian 31 Jan @ 3:24am 
Not working anymore, making the game crash in solo player
Merlyn 13 Jan @ 10:36am 
The mod seems to work for solo play, I have a notification at game start.
eenton 13 Jan @ 2:05am 
does not work in single player for me!
Merlyn 12 Jan @ 10:41am 
Because one of my friend, my "civ 6 sensei" advised me to use several mods to play and BBS is one of them.

His mods lists is the following one
Better Loading Screen
Better Balanced Start
Great Works Viewer
Quick Deals
Detailed Map Tacks
Better REport Screen
Extended Policy Cards
Better Coastal Cities and Water Tiles

@Merlyn Why do you need mod, specifically made for tournaments to play with AI?
Merlyn 7 Jan @ 2:22pm 
Is the mod useful for solo play or just multiplayer ?

@Mountaineer I also think that the minimum distance setting is not working. I always get forward settled by the AI. Is there maybe a similar mod that lets me have at least space for some cities before the AI destroys me?
Nickel 12 Dec, 2024 @ 1:31pm 
Howdy city states seem to not spawn for me when I am on the huge map
Mountaineer 11 Dec, 2024 @ 7:56am 
The minimum starting distance does not seem to be working for me. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or if it is just my game
fka-gargamel 3 Dec, 2024 @ 9:19am 
what is the difference between BBS and BBM ???
bisxelA 28 Oct, 2024 @ 6:43am 
is there anyone knows why MPH is hidden now?
H.Humpel 23 Oct, 2024 @ 9:30am 
Hi,
your mod has been translated by onyxum into German and the translation is now part of the German translations for Civilization VI mods mod pack.
We would be more than happy if you could refer to the language translation in your mod description.

If you cannot start game when using this BBS mod, I recommend you to use BBM(Better Balanced Map) mod instead. BBS mod seems to conflict with some other mods, such as wonder mods.

Pandwa 5 Aug, 2024 @ 11:47am 
Pretty sure the mod aint working rn its stuck on the loading screen with the mod and without it its fine
grj 5 Aug, 2024 @ 2:36am 
Something goes wrong when I play PVE games with bbs mod. The game is stuck when loading in the leader interface. Does this mod conflict with another mod, or it just cannot work?
Keanu Christ Rizen 23 Jul, 2024 @ 2:31pm 
Why is Nubia not starting on any flood plains or desert at ALL. this is annoying
SokimMan 18 Jul, 2024 @ 3:02pm 
@BellaDovah Its the number of times that the mod will generate a map. From all the maps it generates it will then pick the one that is the most balanced in terms of nation spawns.
CptMoobs 15 Jul, 2024 @ 7:25am 
I can't seem to be able to start Hotseat matches with this mod enabled. Dunno what its conflicting with.
enViable 10 Jul, 2024 @ 10:33pm 
does BBS change anything about non-multiplayer games?
Hunterjoe2004 30 Jun, 2024 @ 3:25am 
One or more of the mods items fail to load, breaking the game while using bbg as well. Anybody else facing issues
BellaDovah 23 Jun, 2024 @ 12:40pm 
Can someone please explain the Minimum BBS Attempts setting?
Aimee 12 Jun, 2024 @ 2:29pm 
One or more of the mods items fail to load, breaking the game.
Any clue what parts? I noticed an increase in natural wonders added to the wonder list, so its probably one or more of those.
Dark MAGA 10 Jun, 2024 @ 6:06am 
Not working
Janibanani09 2 Jun, 2024 @ 8:30am 
This mod is not working and I have an endless loadingscreen when I want to start a game.
italicus5 14 May, 2024 @ 2:21pm 
BBS doesn't work. It only pushes back other Civs 25 turns but they still find me in 10-15 turns. 25 isn't what I had in mind. 100 turns is what I wanted. Also, I get a red Icon with a helmet in it 9 out of 10 tries telling me there's another Civ 3-4-8 turns from me.... I though BBS was suppose to move them 25 away. Bad programming and no help at all.
Who? 11 May, 2024 @ 11:54pm 
When playing online, always disconnecting after 1-2 moves. How can I fix this?
Subarashii 3 Apr, 2024 @ 7:29pm 
Also still having infinit loading screen, wonder when the author is gonna fix that
Koroa 30 Mar, 2024 @ 8:39pm 
@ShatteredMinds If you have a map pack mod, disable it. When I disabled Yet (not) Another Map Packs, I was able to get past the infinite loading screen.
ShatteredMinds 20 Mar, 2024 @ 6:10pm 
love this mod normally, but it currently is broken, as you will be stuck in the loading screen forever.
GiveMeCoffee 9 Mar, 2024 @ 7:26am 
been using this mod for a while, but now its stcuk in loading screen since the update of 28feb 2024. Please someone correct this ! I'm sick of Civilization unbalanced based spawn.
Sticky Wicket 9 Mar, 2024 @ 4:41am 
This mod is rubbish. Takes ages to load a game and you get placed in the most ridiculously bad an inappropriate starts for the civ. Tried 20 + starts with Dido and got shoved in the middle of continents nowhere near the sea. Something very wrong with the coding being used.
Menochus 4 Mar, 2024 @ 3:27am 
dito, loading screen stuck
Sapio 3 Mar, 2024 @ 1:33pm 
I'm also stuck on the loading screen when using it.
NinjaSpartan011 29 Feb, 2024 @ 7:05pm 
First time using it in multiplayer...game stuck on loading screen...
