Well, drat! Seems like Primitive is getting an "incompatible" error trying to open the game.
P, to answer your question, I set the Path.txt file to point to the Balance mod folder. Then I started 1.91. Turned off ruins and generated maps over and over and saved off 6 interesting ones. "Tabbed" out and opened the editor. After a while, I had found one I liked and set points and saved off the map. Exited the map editor. Loaded the map into SE4 (Version 1.91 as it's the only Version I have now). Loaded one of my "Ancient" empires and looked at "Specials" to verify no ruins and verify it was placing me in one of the 2 starting places. Canceled the game and created another one. This time, loading Asmala's empire first, then yours, and, of course, the map I made. Made all the other settings I needed to. Then I ran the initial turn and uploaded to PBW.
You are correct that you don't need the Balance mod for you to play a game on it. I'm not sure what is happening but I pulled the file down from PBW here at work (a completely different PC with 1.91 on it) and loaded it up. Told it to run a turn (and of course, it asked me if I wanted to run it without either of the 2 player files). It ran fine. (I'm not sure if that is a good test or not since I didn't actually load up a player's turn).
I think we need to let Asmala give it a try. He's generated a lot of games and maybe he can see if it runs on his PC and offer suggestions as to what might be wrong.
Sorry for the problem
