I don't know what version you have, but chances are you guys will want to play Shahrivar_SomBurn for your game. Pre-set starts or the lack thereof is probably not a big deal, and some of those sites are way overpowered (for example, the 60% blood magic discount site on the top right of the map) and can be completely game changing. ...while others are barely worth noticing. Or, if you have a version that is not Shahrivar_SomBurn that you think would be better for the game, you can upload that. And for the record, preset sites do not preculde other sites from appearing, unless the map maker decided that they do. Whether they do in that map or not I do not know for sure, and would have to examine one of the maps. But generally speaking map makers don't do that. |
Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
I didn't realise there were that many versions.
I just selected "Shahrivar Som.map", but that can still be changed before we start. I also downloaded the map and it contains 3 versions: Shahrivar.map Sharivar Som.map NI Shahrivar Som.map So which one is the one to pick which won't imbalance things? Only Dark Kitty and I need to upload a Pretender and we're a GO! |
Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
Done, sorry for keeping you waiting ;)(couldn't design a pretender at work yesterday:angel)

Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
hmm, i'm still not sure on the difference, NI is no independents, and i'd vote no to that. But if one of the other has pre-set magic sites, well, that's just annoying for people who haven't played it much, so i'd say no to that too

Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
The current map is the one with pre-set magic sites.
In my opinion, the main concern would be balance, especially the 60% discount on blood magic site, if a blood nation gets it. I can play either with or without the pre-set sites, I think the balance problems can be solved via diplomacy (but I may be wrong) :) (BTW, I did check all sites when I saw that our map had pre-set sites, so I can list them with their effects, if we keep playing on this map version) |
Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
If I change the map to the Shahrivar.map instead of Shahrivar Som.map will that be without pre-set sites?
|
Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
No.
I just checked the map files included in the zip file : - Neither seems to have predefined start - All have the preset sites - NI Shahrivar is the no independant map - Shahrivar Som has the pre-set site already searched, while you have to search them in the two other map versions BTW, if I read correctly the map editing document, the pre-set sites may be overwritten by random sites (if there is already 4 random sites in the province). |
Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here
Well then, IS there even a Shahrivar map without pre-set magic sites then?

No, I don't think there is (or at least I didn't found any).
However, there is a map version without the most unbalancing sites (schools bonus and mages recruitment), here : http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43958 Gandalf : I never used these commands, just reading the doc. It says : Quote:
