I left the mod development, 57Fan is now taking the lead. It was fun!

----------------------------------


v1.6.9 - Post Balance Patch (22/04)

Optimise the spawn location of each players for a better, more balanced, multiplayer experience.
Also unlock advanced map settings.

• Spawns would now consider all the start bias of your civilization
  
• Spawns would be spaced evenly to allow more distance between civs and less clustering
  
• Only Tundra Civs (e.g. Russia) can spawn in Tundra, only Desert Civs (e.g. Mali) can spawn in Desert
  
• Spawns are balanced based on the average yield concentration of the best 4 tiles
  
• Spawns have minimum food and production values based on the resource settings
  
• Resources cannot block your only valid harbor location
  
• And much more...

• Add Ridge Definition Setting: for classic Civ mountains or GS ones
  
• Add Strategic Resource Setting: to dial strategic abundance
  
• Add Placement Setting: To customise placement in team game
  
• Control the amount of Natural Wonders
  
• Add "new" Natural Wonders (legacy Civ5/TM) to the wonder pool

A big thanks to Deliverator from TM and 57Fan from CivFR for their contributions, as well as the fantastic folks from Civfanatics.com

• Not compatible with YnAMP or any mod affecting civ6 default placement files
  
• Not compatible with Terra Mirabilis
  (thanks to Deliverator TM's wonders are directly included in BBS so no need to activate TM if you have BBS)
  
• Custom map script: spawn resource balancing would work but custom placement would be turned off
  
• Requires GS
  
• Linux Support: I have no idea. Linux is case sensitive so any lower case / upper case typo on filename could break it without me noticing on a windows machine.

You are teleported turn 1 or out-of-sync with the rest of the player at the start of the game? Most likely that's due to you having a different version of the mod. Unfortunately the auto-download isn't reliable.

Please follow the excellent guide from Zaty, a CPL admin:

Any other issues: please comment below or better log on the discord server and reach out. Ideally a savefile and a lua.log would help tackle the issue.
