Re: Fix
 

Hi vfb:

I am no expert on such things, but if I recall correctly, only the host needs the map file. So, if you have a different map file, I don't think it will matter. Worst case scenario, you could always download the older map file again from the first post (or otherwise keep a backup).

I hope the MP game is fun. I am looking forward to playing on the map myself in a week or so.

Re: Fix
 

Yeah, it is a great map! Lots of fun. I'm really liking wraparound, it's my first wraparound MP game.

Re: Fix
 

Thanks! Nice thing about a wraparound map is that there are no corners that can give a few players an extra advantage.

Another Fix
 

Grrrr. The map editor had removed the libraries quite a while ago, and I never noticed. Some players might object to the pre-placed libraries. So, I have posted two versions: One with libraries, and one without. Look up to the 4th post in this thread.

LATE SCENARIO
 

A late era scenario is posted in the 6th post on this thread.

Re: LATE SCENARIO
 

Pasha, I really like the map and played on it several times but don't you think of marking land provinces with only two neighbours with "nostart"?
In currently going game Qwerty one of the players complained that he started in such a province in a mountain valley and I could help him with nothing but asking you to change this. In a crowded game it can really be a pain.

No Starts
 

Hi Ano:

I thought I had made all such provinces no-start, but maybe I missed one. Could you give me the province number?

Re: New Map - - > Alexander
 

I looked through .map files attached to the fourth post but found no "nostart" at all. Maybe I misunderstand something?
Two provinces with only two neighbours are 200 and 39. 39 was the starting province in the ongoing Qwerty game.

Re: New Map - - > Alexander
 

Dang. I will double check that. Maybe I did all the no-starts and then made new changes and lost them? Ugh.

Updated Version 1.5

Hello:

I have updated the map to add some additional no-start provinces. I have also updated it to have several preset starting positions (16 land, 3 water). They will be randomly assigned if used. They are optional on the game setup screen. I think this will make it easier to have more balanced starting positions in games. Each starting position is 3 provinces away from at least one neighbor (4 moves), assuming the game is full and all positions are used. No starting position is less than 3 provinces away from another.

The attachment to the first post has been replaced with the updated version (1.5 July 2008).

Attached to this post is a jpeg showing the starting positions.

Thanks.

Pasha
