Official Maps Custom Start Position

This mod upgrades the original non-TSL official real-world maps into dual-system maps that now support both TSL (True Start Location) and Custom Start Position systems.

Maps included:

Earth (Custom Start Position)
Earth (Huge) (Custom Start Position)
Mediterranean (Custom Start Position)
Europe (Custom Start Position)
East Asia (Custom Start Position)
Due to the limited quality of the official real-world map design, this mod also kindly provides custom start location support for 7676World and 7676Europe . Compared to the vanilla maps, these are highly recommended.

The improved maps retain all original TSL data while adding over 20+ custom start locations. Unlike official TSL maps which restrict leader choices, the maps with the “(Custom Start)” suffix allow selection of all leaders, including those from mods. For leaders who don't have either a TSL or a dedicated custom start location, they will be randomly assigned from the custom start location pool.

City-States inherit their official custom positions.

This mod will serve as the core component for future expansions of the custom start location system across various maps.


Finally filled in this long-awaited "collect likes" update project!

Over 50 likes: Implement a static map resource reset mechanism — primarily addressing compatibility issues between resource mods and static maps.

The Resource Reset for Static Realistic Maps has been uploaded. My new map, the Apry's Bronze Age Map, is also available — support is welcome!

Over 150 likes: Try add custom start locations to the Ynamp series maps.

Before all that, I'll also work on some previously promised updates based on accumulated likes.
