Rome Imperium Map Spawn

[Dragour]

I hope I got the map name right, the large premade map of Europe, Africa, Middle East.
Before I bought all of the dlc Greece started in Greece with their first city being Pella. But after buying the dlc Greece now spawns in Egypt with Alexandria, is this intentional or a bug? Egypt and the Middle East are clustered enough as it is, now with the Hittites and Kush as well

I don't play that map because it's too small, but maybe you had dynasties on, with Ptolemies? ?

This was discussed before. I think it depends on dynasty.

Did you choose to play as Ptolemy?

To explain, Ptolemy was a Diodachi (a successor ruler of Alexander the Great), he was given control of Egypt, so it's kinda suitable for him to be there, but yeah, thought wasn't really given to this. Phyrus might have been a better option

Too small? It is 127x105, 13,335 tiles. Huge random maps are only 8,100 tiles. IR is a LOT bigger.

I am playing as Rome, started with Augustus. Do the AI also get a random dynasty at start now?

I just started a quick new game and it seems Ptolemy does spawn in Egypt, but there is an option to make the AI start as default leaders so I will probably be using that for premade maps otherwise Egypt, Kush, Babylon and Persia can't expand well

Yes, by default AI nations can use dynasties, and start in historical locations for those dynasties on premade maps. However as you mentioned, setting AI default leaders forces AI to only use the vanilla game leaders.

There is also an option coming soon where you can ignore preset locations on premade maps and have random start sites.

Let's just say that I use your super huge map size mod hehe I like playing with 8 or 9 AI opponents.
