Anyway, on to my major query: I don't understand the design logic behind choosing the races in a game before choosing the map. I don't even know how many races to choose before I've looked at the map! If I look at a scenario, it sets all the races and difficulty levels to the ones contained in that scenario, even if I then change to a different map! Can someone explain to me why we don't choose the map first, then the participating races?

That's a good point. I guess I play on few enough maps that I already know how many AIs I'm going to want on there...in sort of "trial and error" fashion. But your suggestion is a good one.

Also, I once found a link to a doc which listed all the magic sites in the game - could someone repost that for me please (my google skills have deserted me). Is there also a list of all the races' starting assets (units, commanders, magic sites etc.)?

http://www.bl23c.com/arryn/files.htm should have just about everything for which you're looking.

Finally, why does this forum require cookies to log in? Cookies are EVIL. I don't mind if you want to allow some people to use them, that's their business, but surely the rest of us could log in without?

Cookies aren't evil, only tracking cookies are evil.

P.S. Almost forgot - is there any way to remove a cursed item? I made and wore the armour of twisting thorns, then found I couldn't take it off!

Send the wearer into an impossibly deadly situation so that some other poor sap can kill him and find the armor.
