How to start near my teammate ??

[rock_n_girl]

hi everyone!
Is there any way to configure map to increase chanses to begin near my meammate (both in same team vs 5-6 AI).
It takes vary long time to restart game 100 times to get randomly close positions
(sometimes i even think that there are no nandom and server purposely put us far away from each other)

Thank you!

One option is Gedmon's YnAMP mod and use the real earth map using true start location and you and your teammate picking Gorgo and Pericles. That last was a joke they are much to close to each other even on the largest Terra TSL map, you and teammate would need to pick two civs on same continent like Barbarosa and Trajan or Canada and Aztecs.

If you have "Yet (not) Another Maps Pack" mod enabled, it adds, by default to any random map script, a culturally-linked starts option at game setup. This will attempt to place Civs near other Civs with similar culture/ethnicity.

So, if you have this mod enabled and you and your team-mate choose Civilizations from the same ethno-cultural group, you will be more likely to start near each other.

Here are the ethno-cultural groups.
