Where is World builder?

[joshuacolyn]

I have seen over the past couple of days people talking about their world builder.

Where is it? Is it a mod?

I have nothing nor have I ever had anything in my mods list it is always empty

On steam, go to Library > Tools and then look for "Civilization 5 SDK" and download it.

This is the CIV 5 world builder. Okay. No in game changes. That blows. AND it seems kinda buggy. Thank you though gibus.

Its not buggy, you have to learn it.
Also to make it work you have to go through mod > single player and then load scenario

There is nothing in my mods. Never has been. I mean I can show/hide DLC, but thats it.

I ment to make it work you have to go Through mods and then play a normal game, dont put any mods on

[joshuacolyn]

thanks. It is not like previous civs I guess where it was in the "menu" tab. I did the mod >single player >started a map and I do not see anything that lets me go into world builder while playing. So I saved the map.

I started world builder and then loaded the map. But I am not familiar enough with the functions and it is not showing me my units (which I even turned everything off to see nothing but units) or where my starting point is at. Making it very confusing for me. I could figure it out eventually but why?

I would have to save the map. Switch to WB.(ALT-TAB) Load the map. Do what I want, switch back to game and then load it back. If it wasn't for the loading I would be all for it. I hate the loading on Civ always takes to long. Especially later in the game. Main reason why I never really use the save/load for a better goodie hut.

OR Am I a clueless idiot and I still am not getting it?

You cannot use the world builder to edit a map of an ongoing game.
You can only create maps to start new games on.

AHHH. That is disappointing. It follows more Civ 3 type WB. Explains why I could not see my units. There weren't any to be seen.

So I have two questions:

Are the red squares starting locations for AI?

Do I always have to add AI/CS starting or can I just add where "I " start/resources/land mainpulation and then AI/CS are placed like normal during startup?

If you are looking for a tool that allows you to edit the world during a game, you should look for a mod on Steam Workshop called "Ingame Editor" (search for it under Civ V workshop).

There may be other such mod out there, but I can only recommend this as I'm using it myself, and it's easily available on Steam Workshop.

If you use that mod you have to save and load a game for some changes to take effect, mostly just terrain features and terrain itself

Say I have built a map, and would then like to play on? How would one do that?

Start the game (close worldbuilder first) > Mods > Singleplayer (Make sure you have no mods enabled) > Choose map > More maps/advanced maps (forgot the name) > Start game and you should be fine
