when I play an existing map (Europe, world...) I always get strange start locations (even when playing in the official maps that came with civilization), IT MEANS, IF CHOOSE GREECE I DONT BEGIN AT GREECE, i begin at another place, and french is not on france, it may be on asia... theres not a single civilization on its correct starting place! Whys that? someone can help me on fixing it, so ja´panese would start in japan and english on england?

Yeah, I hate that to! I don't think that there's any way to fix it. I tried going into Civ3Edit and trying to fix it, but my efforts did not fix it.

Somebody knows??????????

It is impossible to fix it in the regular version of Civilization III. But I don't know about Civilization III: Play the World...

what a sheet... How is it possible that they didnt fought of that??? i mean, its the normal and expected thing that japaneses apear on japan, french on france, russians on russia... this is horrible! I´ve always wanted to play a game real-like

the only way to fix that is to set the player starting locations manually on the map editor. it's gay, i know. i hope that's one thing they fix on civIV.

Hey, dummy! The maps of Earth are only included for fun--you're supposed to play on random ones! That means it doesn't matter where you start. Most maps have much fewer starting spots then total civilizations! And if you made a custom one for your favorite to start in then you can get the best spot every time! USE YOUR HEAD!! (Hint: Don't let your real self grow those creepy horns on it like your stinking avatar, and your head will serve you much better.)
