Civilization VI Mods

Custom Distance for Start - Updated

An update of Jerzat's Custom Distance for Start mod, adding three Advanced Setup options that set the minimum starting distance between civilizations and city-states.

Steam Workshop

What It Does

  • Adds three options to the Advanced Setup screen's map settings: minimum starting distance between players, minimum distance between city-states, and minimum distance between players and city-states.
  • Enforces those distances at map generation by fully overriding the base game's AssignStartingPlots.lua.
  • Its hardcoded placement checks use your values instead, for player-to-player, city-state-to-player and city-state-to-city-state placement.
  • On water maps the player-to-city-state minimum is applied one tile lower than the value you set.
  • The values apply only when a map is generated, so enabling the mod changes nothing in a game already started.
