0010683: Crash after placing civilizations
My game sometimes crashes during world generation (before history starts) after it has placed the last civilization (at "Placing civilizations (0)").

I don't know of a way to specify the seed in the Create World Now menu. I've tried to reproduce this by using the seeds reported in the gamelog.txt file in the advanced world design menu, to no avail.

These two configurations have crashed my game:
Generating world using parameter set CREATE WORLD NOW = 4333334
 Seed: 7RAwHWUYwWvbrVLRjmXs
 History Seed: Z0KNYefaybTGFCL45lhg
 Name Seed: XnW1FstvDcfsuhDplTB6
 Creature Seed: 4XcQy4mY428vYRsEIRDw

Generating world using parameter set CREATE WORLD NOW = 4333344
 Seed: Wjea6LkG6FqADuPeZgG6
 History Seed: H411OVUG7qamktymas55
 Name Seed: n8wls4S6mREmaspVaR2x
 Creature Seed: Yxy5qOTLir0SmrIjRsRu

Note that this is by no means consistent and I've generated a lot of worlds without crashing.

My raws folder *is* modded but I have no means of verifying that my mod has caused this crash. No mods besides my own are installed.
No tags attached.

Actually, I've done some more testing, and it pretty much looks like my mod is causing crashes. I've generated several worlds without it, and it consistently does not crash. Please close this bug report.
