Default Re: New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

The several starting provinces thing is, I think, not a map bug, but a game bug. I've noticed that no matter how many #nostart X lines you have for provinces, it will not prevent the game from assigning those provinces to a nation at the beginning if more than one starting province is specified, and I find this really annoying.

I don't think C'tis starting next to two special provinces is that much of a problem as such, as one of those was a sea province and I just don't see the lizards expanding into the water that quickly.


Gandalf, no use doing the separate maps, those would be too limited. Easier to just wipe the province pixels from the big one and then put them in again but making larger geographical regions (such as the whole of High Forest etc) into a single province, that will radically cut down on the number of provinces and still give a better map, I would think. Making maps of the single sections would be good for maps with limited number of nations, but I'm not going to start editing them separately. The targa files need a lot of work and hunting down the stray white pixels is a bloody pain in the arse, so I'll pass, thanks.
