World Builder / Player Editor question...

[rumia]

There's a drop down menu that has Civilization, City State, Free City, and Tribe. The first 3 are understandable, but what does adding a random tribe do? Do they mean barbarian camps? Do I need to manually add them to the game just like I did with city-states?

[kirb]

By tribe, they mean the little straw hut camps your scouts run into from time to time, and going into them gives you a small bonus.

There are 4 types of players, tribe is the barbarian type. I've not tested that part of the WB yet, but if you want to pre-place barbarian units (or cities maybe?), that's the type to use.

IDK if the game will handle two different players of the tribe type on the same map, it's in my list of potentially funny modding things to try...

[Gedemon]

Not that with the standard player list, random tribe will always be the "barbarian" player, as it's the only one of the tribe type, if you'd like to test another, you'd have to create a new civilization with the tribe type.

Same with free cities, there is only one player of that type in the base game.

Has anyone created a map using WB and whether the map work?. I create a map and named it. When I started a new game, the named map did not appear in the drop down list, instead I notice an ‘Untitled Name’ and the map was difference from the one I created.

Several Gathering Storm mechanics including flooding don't work with custom maps. There is nothing you can do about it. I was hoping they would fix it with the last update.
