Need map editor help to move start lcoations

I created a map in the game, loaded it in the editor I just want to move the AI start locations. It's a Large pangea map and the dumb game starts one team (it's 3v3) in the middle and one on the coast which is silly.

We we want to move the other team start locations to the coast. I can delete the 3 start locations from the center of the continent and plop down 3 city cores in on the cost but for some reason it isn't the start locations. When I save the map and load it in a game the team is back in the middle in their original start locations.

First I tried cutting and pasting the start locations to a new place on the map but it would never let me and the minmap zoomed in so close I couldn't get to parts of the map while trying.

This should be simple, but it doesn't work.

A mod that would put teams on opposite sides of a pangea would be great. q

Not sure but you probably want to change the Player Position Templates found under the Settings: Player Positions Category in RMG_Definitions_Strategic.rpk.

Outside of that, did you load the map normally or select it from the Community Tabs. You can save your generated map in the GeneratedMaps folder and then select it from the Community Tab when selecting Planet Type. I think that should then use your custom map, if it's a PBEM match the others might need the map as well in their GeneratedMaps folder.

I figured it out, it was hard to move the leaders because they were set sa those leaders even though they are random on the map setting. The entire editor is simply not intuitive. When cutting and pasting from one start city to another location it only brought the city not the leader. But they you could only add the leader that was attached to that city later if you had that player selected...

EditL nope I didn't figure it out thought i did, can't place start locations on a map still no idea how.
