You might want to edit the map. Load the scenario in the editor, right-click on each starting location (usually they are blue when they are unassigned) and assign them to the geographically correct civ (the location will then change to the color of that civ)

Save and enjoy!

Oki thx alot

.. but there isnt any program to use instead that make in the right position?

I'm not sure if I understood you, do you want to change the location to a different square? If that is so, right-click on the starting location and there will be an option to delete it (Delete Player Starting Position).

To add a starting point, use the Select Overlay icon and choose Player Starting Position and place in on the map where you want. By default all new starting positions will be unassigned so don't forget to assign a Civ to it if you always want it to be there.

Hope this helped.

Here goes, step by step:

1) Open Marla Singer's map (or any other) in the Editor. All the Player Starting Locations appear blue.

2) Right click on any starting location (for example, the one where London would be) and choose Reassign.

3) A window saying Set Tile Owner appears with the default at "None". There are 3 more options below it, they say (faded), Barbarians, Rome and Player 1. Click on Rome and from the drop-down menu choose the correct Civ for that location, in this case England.

4) Once you click OK, the color of the starting location should turn from blue to orange indicating that the location is now reserved for England.

5) Repeat the process for every other Civ.

Have fun
