Good map seeds

[TheRongGuy]

If anyone has a really good map seed, feel free to share it here. I'm tired of having to restart games because I start in a terrible location.

[S-P]

This has always been a problem in civ games, start in Tundra or Desert, take your pick.

Last game I played I got a an isthmus.

Which is a narrow, one hex strip of land connecting two larger landmasses.

With water on two sides.

The way I play, that is like hitting the jackpot.

I used the seed "133" (for both seed fields) on an Islands-type map, huge. It was fairly decent. Trying to find some other good seeds now.

[MasterBlaster]

try this one:

mapseed: -560717316
gameseed:-560717317

...gave me a nice place to start off. I think you also need to set the other map settings like mine
to start exactly where i started:

civ: Arabia and just five other civs
map size: standard
map type: fractal
speed: epic
worldsettings: all standard
resources: many
start: legendary

Is there a way to look at a seed of a saved game? I occasionally get a map that I love. My most interesting placement was a narrow strip of land, completly cut off from the larger landmass by mountains. I could focus on anything I wanted to in safety.

In CIV 5 there was a console interface (DebugMode 1 - in config.txt) so you could temporaily see the whole map before you started playing it.. i found thew debugmode in CIV 6 but it doesn't let me see the whole map.

[MightyMouse]

Where is the debug mode?

Legendary start gave me some good seeds. Out of three games, my only complaint was the second seed didn't start me right nect the river

....ooooor.....the devs add a regenerate map button to the game. Or some mod might do that whenever we will see mods.

I used 47772436 as map / 47772437 as game seed on a tiny map (continents; epic start resources) to create a god mode single-town game with Arabian (I'll try to go for faith).

The north of the town is protected by a few mountains. If you walk with your warrior to north-west you'll find after about 5 rounds a nature wonder. In the east are 3 city states, the south is protected by tundra. You are on a mid size island with only norway on the same island.

There is stone, copper, iron, truffle, sugar, 2 * rice and dye in the range of the town; a river, many hills, swampland, some desert in the south-east.

If you went for Stonehedge and Oracle you have to cut two times the forests next to your town. For Stonehedge you have furthermore to sacrify one of the rice plants (you have to learn ceramic and build a farm onto it to be able to do that). The holy district could be placed next to 3 mountains in the northeast (you may need to buy this tile), this would enable you to build this forest-temple-wonder that gives you 2 Apostels)

Downside:
- no horses next to the town
- about 7 tiles are blocked by mountains

Look at https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/59b2lg/how_to_find_a_seed_from_a_save_step_by_step/ for a nice walkthrough

Of course you have to choose the same map style / map size / resource / age / weather / number of players.

[ GOOD RELIGIOUS START ]
Fractal / Large / Start position: cultural / Seed: 1377733487 (game); 1377733488 (Map)
I started with Saladin and damn ... you have many mountains close to you, so you get nice adjacency bonuses. Ive also met 3 city states, and 2 of them are really helpful for a religious victory: Yerevan (your apostles can choose any promotion), Valetta (City center buildings and encampment district buildings can be bought with faith) and Kiev ( full housing from water, as if your cities were all next to a river)
Besides mountains, you have a ton of wheat close to your starting position ( together 6 wheat places in range of the starting position and 2 barely outta range (unfortunately, 3 wheat fields are right next to mountains, two even adjacent to 3 mountains)). I havent found any wonders, and there arent any places to build early wonders such as pyramids, but since you are Saladin you dont need to worry about Stonehenge or getting a religion.
[MODS: I got Jadwiga, Montezuma and the YnAMP-Mod]

I've found a Huge map that's perfect for what I look for in a game, everywhere is accessable by land, a large but not too large ocean on the sides and 6/7 fairly sizeable seas and gulfs perfect for trade routes. Sadly I don't know how to obtain the Map seed for it, so if anyone could help me find how to get ahold of that I would GLADLY share it here, thanks :)

[Broken War Horse]

Does anyone know how to find the map seed in a game that they played? I have marked a lot of games as a good map but have know idea how to get the map seed number? Oops someone beat me to the question.
