Middle Earth Map Pack

Description
A civilization 5 map adapted from Tolkien's Middle Earth. This is not 100% accurate to the illustrations for aesthetic, gameplay, and technical limitations. Some elements have been moved or resized to make landmarks more exaggerated, or to accomodate better strategic play.

This is not a scenario. It has been designed for singleplayer and multiplayer use, using basic or advanced map settings.

Map built by MrCarlton. This map is revision 1! If you find issues or have feedback feel free to let me know, I want this to be the best civ 5 Middle Earth map it can be.

Features:
- Fully detailed locations and regions based on the Lord of the Rings series.
- Fully populated strategic and luxury resources for deeper tactical play.
- Support for upto 12 players.
- No mods required!

Help:
For everyone having problems playing the map. Specifically...

1) I'm starting in the desert or the same place everytime
2) The map doesn't show up in my maps list

You need to copy the map from the /mods folder at put it into the /maps folder. This is also how you can host it multiplayer. Every player will need to copy the map to their /maps folder for this to work. The reasons why it is doing this is because there is no way for the map editor to save a map as a normal not-scenario map that is uploadable to steam workshop - or at least i couldn't figure out how.

Here is a more comprehensive list of instructions as well: http://steamproxy.net/app/8930/discussions/0/864972620925316053/ The third post has a step by step of how to play multiplayer with this map. You will not be able to play mp unless every player does copies the map to the folder.

Hey, this item shares the exact name as this one: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=76514860

This causes them to be lumped together into the same folder within the mod directory, and thus same in-game mod entry, thereby creating an unknown risk of serious errors. Could you change the name to be more distinctive?

"For everyone having problems playing the map. Specifically...

1) I'm starting in the desert or the same place everytime" - proceeds to not address the first issue

This screenshoots are just lies. The map looks different, and here are no resources.

I moved the map file to from /mods to /maps, but it does not work. I keep spawning in the damn desert.

Your map must be poor, if you need to spam on another mod.
Anyways I give this mod a try.

Think this would be great but always start in the desert so a fix would be nice, I have installed it to the maps forlder but am still having the problem
