Map Random Seed: 1253573670

Ok, multiple problems here, enemies starting too close together and rivers going into the ocean. Here is 1 big overview screenie and 2 closeups on the map. Note that this is on turn 2.

Big map:

Enemies too close together:

Rivers going into the ocean:

I can provide screenies of the other 2 rivers as well from the big one, but you get the idea. Hope this helps and is what you are referring to.

I wound up with a water shard literally right beside me (1253573209), but of course now that I know what to do all of the really wierd stuff has stopped happening.

3 of the 4 enemies starting on top of each other. Again this is turn 2

I can keep this up all night, but I'll wait til ya'll tell me yea or nay on that one

I made a thread here about my start location being in the Ocean.

I've also experienced similar start locations as the above posts detail.

• Too close to enemy soverign: 1253580317
• Goodie hut right next to me: 1253580623
• Too close to an enemy soverign, AND right next to an Earth shard: 1253580728
• Too close to soverign, who's plot of fertile land is immersed in a small lake: 1253580819
• Another SP (soveign proximity) map: 1253580974

I was close to fertile land, goodies and rivers were a mess: Map Random Seed: 1253582179

Two rivers into the ocean (At least that's all I found before a crash): 1253580959

One was in the southwest corner.  The other was approximately North/NorthWest.

No real gameplay changing shots here, just a few oddities.

We've got the usual river into sea (but into the sea a lot), rivers ending on land and general weirdness.

Random seed: 1253588693

We've got deltas on both ends of this river, and one is inland.

Random seed: 1253589134

This looks like a chunk of land out to sea that doesn't quite have enough mass to be outlined, so it looks kinda odd. The same one also had some mountains extending into the ocean.

Random seed: 1253590185

Nearly all the rivers on this map were in this location, all bunched up.  Several have the rivers ending on land syndrome.

Another dodgy river

Debug Message: Map Random Seed: 1253618462 Two different instances of rivers going into the ocean.

EDIT: More water issues! There were about four rivers going out to sea, and then this problem with an in-land lake. Also, I don't know if there is going to be some kind of flight or water transportation in the final version, but this map had an island cut off from the mainland.

EDIT again: I'm missing a plug in or something, forum doesn't like Firefox ><

Map Seed: 1253633187 - Wierd rivers.

Map Seed: 1253633749 - Starting Positions too close.

Map Seed: 1253634065 - 2 fertile lands connect, starting position too close, wierd river

Each pictures were taken in round 2 via a custom unit with sight 100.

does this count everytime you start 2 games in a row?   I get a bad starting location every time!  

Edit:

trying to avoid double post: Map Random Seed: 1253650226

Your usual river into the ocean...

I R BETA TESTAR!

Debug Message:  Map Random Seed: 1253653776

Same thing as always, river going into the sea (how the heck do you use Jing or Screencast to make comments in photos ><).

River in a sea!

The above picture has rivers in the sea and an area of the island completely blocked off by mountains.

Double river action!

Starting too close to one another.

River kind of going through mountains, and into the sea!

EDIT: Sorry for the h-scroll, I thought that was going to auto-thumbnail-like.  Welp, using photobucket from here on in!

Starting location very near opponent.

Spider on tile right beside my starting tile: 1253658184

Soverign Proximity: 1253658443

Remember folks, pictures help a lot.  It's just a printscreen button and imageshack or Jing away...

Debug Message:  Map Random Seed: 1253666953

No pictures I'm afraid since I cannot get my usual hoster to work and my firefox is a bit dodgy lately.

Three issues in this seed:

• Curious starting location right next to another sovereign,
• a third sovereign is located maybe 15 tiles to my south,
• and there is at least one river running through a lake.

Really wonky rivers: 1253665083

Forgot the pictures.

Starting positions too close: 1253668284

River weirdness, plus continent about half the size of normal : 1253669141

I am not sure about reporting the continent size, but some maps fill about 30-40 % of the screen, and others 70- 80%.  I don't know if some are supposed to be small and some big or not, so I posted the last one.

Instead of Imageshack you could also try making a photobucket account to host the pictures?  Its still pretty convenient

Lot of spiders (seed on picture)

Too close : (seed is on the picture)

As for most this is turn two. Map Random Seed: 1253734807
