Default Re: Province Editor v101 - Updated

Less than 4 hours sleep and a long day at work so please forgive my short answers, and thank you for the positive feedback Foodstamp!

On the "Step 1" page there is a section listed as "size". Does checking normal, small and large screen for the map size, or the province size?
Province size.

Quote:
Is it acceptable to check a terrain type and a site type?
Yes!

I am at a loss on the usage of the climate tag, as well as using the climate settings in the map generator as well, could you give a brief overview on how they work?
Endoperez covered this well. (Thanks Endo!)

Finally, would it be possible to give us some examples as to what combinations will and will not work in "Step 1" of the province editor?
For examples, look to existing Gan filenames. Step 1 is all about building the file name with the desired flags. For a little more help, I will paste the filename flags below:
Code:

GAN FILENAME FLAGS:
-------------------
<Climates>
_HOT_ Hot Zone (southern map)
_CLD_ Cold Zone (northern map)
_TMP_ Temperate Zone (mid map)

<Patterns>
_IS_ ISLAND
_LK_ LAKE
_VC_ VOLCANO
_PN_ PENN
_VL_ VALLEY
_CO_ COAST
_LO_ LOST

<Treatment>
_R_ REPLACE - (#land) Set active prov & kill everyone in it. Used to REPLACE randomly placed units.
_A_ ADD - (#setland) Set active prov. Units added to existing.
_M_ MULTIPLE - More than one of a single province gan may be added to the map file.
_U_ UNIQUE - Once a single instance of the province gan is "picked", it can not be picked again.

<Terrain>
_S/L/N_ Small/Large/Normal
_PLN_ Plains
_SEA_ Sea
_WTR_ Some water
_MNT_ Mountain
_SWP_ Swamp
_WST_ Waste
_FST_ Forest
_FRM_ Farm
_MST_ Many Sites
_DEP_ Deep
_CAV_ Cave
_FS_ Fire Site
_AS_ Air Site
_WS_ Water Site
_ES_ Earth Site
_SS_ Astral Site
_DS_ Death Site
_NS_ Nature Site
_BS_ Blood Site
_PS_ Priest Site
_EMT_ Edge Mountain
