I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I really haven't found anything here after some searching.
 
Is there a way to have players/ai start in their real world locations when playing on the earth map? I really want to start on the British Isles as I love having a strong navel defence and if I'm isolated from the mainland it'll be easier to sit and research for a science victory.
 
Is there any option to do that? I can't find it if there is. Thanks.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

The Civ 4 mod Rhye's and Fall of Civilization it has that, Civ 5 doesn't though, so just wait for him to put a mod in I guess

Yep, it's in the mod list.

I've been playing with this mod for some time. I think it's called True Start Locations in the mod list.

Yeah, as said, there's a True Start Locations mod that puts all city-states and civs in their correct starting areas. 
 
This does make some civs a lot harder though, as Europe is VERY crowded and Japan has a kinda crappy starting location.

i tried this before, but it's not very good imho... i tend to play as bismarck and (as proven in 2 world wars :D) germanys position just sucks :(
