Erase that not from my post :P Stupid mistake...

Re: MadWar - Game On!
 

Howdy!

There is a version of the map with predefined start positions that are randomly assigned. Are they not working properly? Or, perhaps, they were assuming a higher number of players. Each capital would be at least 3 provinces away from another. :)

That one was for late period and I think for 18 nations. Since we have only 12, I am working on one that is good for 12 players.

Re: MadWar - Game On!
 

Here is the map file I suggested. Starting locations are:

Land: 130 94 16 37 15 77 122 197 218 237
Sea 281 236

To give sea nation more balanced playground, 7 and 265, 229 and 251, 36 and 275 are linked. This way, sea nations can expect around 20 provinces/player in the continous water body. You can start a game on this and inspect the starting locations. I welcome any suggestions.

Well, my game admin password is no longer valid for some reason and the game is listed as an invalid age.

I'll start a new game I guess, but we'll have to resubmit pretenders. Not really sure why my passwaord is suddenly not working.

Alright ... I think I'm missing something. The .map file you gave me does not seem to be recognized by the server as a valid file.

I've been having the same problem with other maps I've been trying to use for other games.

Since llama is coming back today, it probably would be better to send him a PM and let him correct the problems. This look certainly like a bug. Another game already encountered the problem.

Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

Ah good. I thought I was just being incredibly inept. As it turns out i've only been marginally so. I guess we'll just send him a PM then.

Re: MadWar - Game Almost On!
 

yeah, I've encountered this in a game before too. I think we ended up having to start a new game.

IMHO the new map seems good.

I want to clarify that the image I posted some posts ago is just an example how you cluster the starting position. It is not used in this game at all.
