Are there LeyLines?

I love this map. And I love hard to move terrain on it:) It is great example of how important it is to have a fleet and an harbor in the first place. And how to use religious units as "spies/diplomats".

I play it with 24 civs (double Germany and France, banned Babylon obv because Hammurabi is broken archetype) so no more idiotic city-state and/or great people snowballing you-have-everything-game. And no more free real estate to settle. Instead you need to focus and fight for land and you will lag behind on deity. And that is exactly what I like. Nice challenge.

You just have to accept this is not a map for fast gaming. If you're looking for fast, enjoyable conquest you just better pick something else;)

Have been trying this map out and generally like it. Although I do agree that the current set up makes it so it takes forever to move units around. That might be realistic, but like others have said if there were around 25 to 50% less hills and stuff it would be funner.

Just a quick minor suggestion. Where Constantinople/Istanbul is, I don't think should be a flood plain when navigable Bosphorus is turned off. Also it should also be a plains hill, instead of flat grassland. This is mostly for realism, where Constantinople was built was on a dry hill. Also because Constantinople is at a disadvantage as a capital because the tiles nearby aren't that great.

Also I agree that there are too many hills in the map in general. If hills and mountains were reduced by about 25% that would make a big difference while having strategic gameplay and being realistic

Just trying to leave some honest feedback. I like that you made a huge Medi map, but there are WAY too many mountains/hills. can barely move, even with a mod that adds movement. I edited the map and removed about 50% of the mountains/hill, made more flat land. Made it much more playable, realistic or not. The AI sucks and can not handle choke points, so if you are Rome for example behind the Alps, the AL is just too dumb do get to you. I wided the gaps in the alps and made a bit more flat land in the area, for example. Good gameplay > real mountain placement.

Game keeps crashing once I get into the first big war. Any ideas what might be going on?

The navigable River nile is a really cool idea, but it makes Egypt so much weaker. Is there any way to make it still count as a fresh water river so that it actually works with their bonus production ability and sphinxes?

How do you connect the Rhine and Danube?

m having problems with playing multiplayer. We put the same mods and everything, but it says "loading please wait" does anyone have a solution? This is my favorite map and I really want to play it online. @skylar saphyr

@Belisarios: I can do that, but it'll take an insane amount of time.

@Saphyr
Ahh so I misunderstood the option in the setup.
I remember in some mods of civ 5 that they had real city naming for many spots and thought it‘s the same.

@Belisarios: Sorry, real city naming is only for the capitals. Rivers and mountain names are also randomised.

The map really looks amazing!! However, I cant get the game to run with correct city naming and also the rivers and mountain names are shuffled around.. what could that cause??

Salve ! I used to play a lot with this mod a long time ago. But sadly, when I re-installed the game with it, this one didn't show up in the party's settings. I installed YnAMP and loaded the database but nothing appears on my screen. Do somebody knows how to solve my issue ? Merci d'avance !

Really love this map! But Vatican City wont show up for TSL. ;(

could you add fredrick the second mod in berlin?

Hi there, can you add TSL as Ankara for Turkey-Atatürk, Port Lime's mod?

@dadiou there's probably a mod conflict. Try disabling mods that add / change strategic resources

Hi, I haven´t any luxury or strategic resource on entire map. Did anyone have and solved this problem? On map are only bonus resources (tried more than 10 resets with same issue with normal and abundand gen. of resourcers)

@MaddockM: It's a known issue with YnAMP. Just don't restart. Create a new game with a new seed if you want to have a new game.

Dunno if anyone else has this issue - but if I restart (either because I'm playing a random civ or because I want different starting resources) all the rivers disappear? Is that an interaction with another mod, or a known issue?

Hey, love the map but can seemingly only get it to work in the huge map mode, any idea what could cause it, or anyone having simmilar issues?

@justinwwe14: Just updated the mod. Bavarian Ludwig should work now.

So testing further, Ludwig's Germany tsl is in for Munich, but his Bavarian tsl isn't, it spawns no settler not even in Berlin. So it's just the bavarian tsl for Ludwig thats not working.

I also have austria in the map if that causes bavaria not to spawn since its around the same area

So I tried it again and im still not getting bavarian luwig to spawn in Munich. Is it that he doesn't spawn there and the other Germany is blocking him spawning or does bavaria not load in?

So I cant seem to get the maps for this mod. I have the maps for "Yet (not) Another Map Pack" and I'm not using any other mods. I loaded database, I resubscribed, I did directx 11 and directx 12, I loaded the databases of the other maps, I changed gathering storm to standard. I'm fairly new to the game and I haven't done anything wild to mess the files yet so idk why its not working.

Hmm it might just be something on the end of steam not wanting to update for me.

@bigfudge: I just tested the map with Victoria, Elizabeth and Eleanor: Victoria and Elizabeth spawned at London and Eleanor spawned at Poitiers, as intended.

@justinwwe14: I just tested the map with Ludwig; he spawned without a problem for me.

It seems like the Bavaria tsl isn't working. It allows me to choose it, but when I load in it doesn't load in a settler and warrior

Many thanks!

Update v2.3

Added Japanese description courtesy of Sui Sui

Added TSL for the following leaders / civ:
+ Ramses
+ Ludwig II
+ JNR's Bavaria
+ Phantagonist's Akhenaten
+ Merrick's Nefertiti
+ Merrick's Goths
+ Sukritact's Al-Andulus
+ Strudeler's Aragon and Naples
+ Strudeler's Galatia
+ Gedemo's Piye
+ Port Lime's Iran

I do find it a little disappointing that England doesn't even spawn on the British isles, kinda removes the fun of playing them.

May I kindly ask that you add two TSLs for Strudeler's Aragon/Naples Leader mod? In fact, there have been a few fine leader mods introduced since this map was last updated, Any that you could add would be greatly appreciated by this player, who loves using your maps. You've contributed so much in keeping Civ6 an interesting game all these years. Thanks~

decent-ish map. perfect scale for Mediterranean but far too many mountains and rivers so it takes some map editor work to make this map enjoyable/playable for a few of the civs

interpoloxxx, the reason why Dido spawns in that area in vanilla TSL map is because city of Tyre was located near modern city of Sidon, aka where apital of Phoenicia was when Dido was around. But I do agree that Dido should still spawn in Tunis.
As for Saladin, he ruled from Cairo, Egypt when he came to power. But when the Third Crusade started, his capital was moved to Damascus, so both Cairo and Dmaascus are ok for Saladin, but I guess some additional script for both of Saladin's personas to be accurate. Vizier would spawn in Cairo, while The Sultan would spawn in Damascus.

I agree with The Inspector, but the German Location could be near Bayern or Nordrheinwestfalen state should be fine. Germanic tribes so many, this area should be one suitable location.
I am playing DLC TSL Mediterranean map, i thought Dido should be on Tunia, where famous Carthage city should be in the Punic War time. But Dido spawn near Syria.
The Saladin spawn location near the Alexanria where Egypt next to it aaa. Damasscus should be more reasonable place to them

Will Sukritacts Al Andulus be added with TSL?

Can I play Ludwig with TSL?

Can I suggest you some TSL places and fixes to them?
1. Add Ramses to his location of Thebes, which is modern Luxor.
2. Instead of Medina, give Arabia a location of Damascus, as it was Saladin's capital during Third Crusade
3. With Damascus for Arabia, give a condition to Phoenicia to spawn at Carthage.
4. Eleanor's locations should be primarily Bordeaux, as it was always a capital of Aquitaine. But give a condition to second Eleanor to spawn at Poitiers (aka if someone would want two Eleanors in game)

And a final point, which I won't number, because it's an iffy subject. But for Germany, if Gaul is present, spawn it in Palermo, as it was Holy Roman Empire's capital during Frderick's successor Henry VI's rule.

Also, Ramses II starts in Thebes, which is not in the Nile delta as default. It's closely located to modern day Luxor.

How can one edit your map? The floodplains dont flood, making playing Egypt stunted. I really want to edit that so that it actually happens. I tried playing it in apocalypse mode to manually trigger flooding, but there were only haboobs.

Would you be able to add sukritact’s Al-Andulus?

I wish this map had Scandinavia

@skylar Saphyr I am not a modder, did not even know how to mod and which files are you talking about. But in real life I'm a historian geographer, and I could give you for each tile (or group of tiles) the name of settlement in and out of the Roman Empire. If you explain me what you need and how (a spreadsheet, dunno), I can work on it!

@congoville: No and no. It would be too much work. You're welcome to try though; just have a look at the map.xml and maptext.xml files in this mod.

I would like to know if the real city naming involves also non capital cities, like in R&F from Civ IV! If no, is there any chance to have a feature like this? I could help if you want
