I updated a similar 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 the mod and many members of the community have been wanting to use it as well. Sadly, it hasn't been updated for nearly 6 years.However, if the mod author would like me to take it down then 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. I merely wish to allow myself and those that wish to use the mod to be able to use it again.

Yea if you don't want to deal with a mod file, Red-Eyed_Fairace describes the easy way to replicate the mod's effects below.

I wish to fuck there was a working mod for this in 2022

Mod works fine tho. All this mod do is update the settings for GlobalParameters of the following:
START_DISTANCE_MAJOR_CIVILIZATION and
START_DISTANCE_MINOR_CIVILIZATION

You guys are probably not playing on the larger map size. If so, edit the files and reduce the value but the more ciy you add ingame, the more chance this will be ignored to fill all civs.

This mod used to work perfectly (and in fact was one of the few mods I never played without because I considered it indispensable) but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I notice it looks like a lot of other people have been having this issue as well, and have been asking about it in the comments here for just about 3 years. Is the creator still actively supporting it, or has this mod been effectively abandoned?

How can I correct the Map? The rivers are just not correct, and for me that is annoying...

As well, how comes that alle 12 Leaders Spawn real close together?

Will there be an uptade to the TSL? Due to the new Fractions?

please update this excellent mod!

Update please, and thank you.

this does not work!

I have the same issues as Novus and sal23ncc. A bunch of civs spawn 10 plots away surrounding me and the rest of the map is almost empty.

Please describe the issue.

yea...update

update please

Is it possible to ad a mod that lowers the staring distance between major civs to like 6 or 7 hexes? Wanna try to fit alot of civilization into smaller maps. I use other mod that allows more players and to settle cities closer. What do you think? :)

Yeah this mod doesn't seem to work properly. I use a large map script so the maps are bigger than in vanilla, but AI still spawns pretty corwded while 1/3 of the map remains untouched.

Great idea, any thoughts on why it might not work properly? I jst tried it for the first time and met Spain on my third turn, his capital is 10 plots away.
