As GoG is my favored map (with Faerun), I'll never thank you enougth for all the hard work. So Tanks a Lot.  |
My pleasure, Humakty. This has definitely been my favorite map as well (and basically now the only one I have been playing on, what with wanting to playtest it).
Yeah, I was sick of computer players taking ridiculously destructive scales and unhelpful paths (at least that's how it seemed to me). None of these are power-gaming-style, but they're all at least semi-competent and thematic.
Hope you enjoy it.

Others might be....
NI (no independents)
BI (better independents)
SR (SemiRandomized)
Chaos (not for beginners)
Scenario (selected AIs allied and preset to powerful positions)
Oh and great map! Very popular.

Thanks, Gandalf. On the SR -- actually, though I've tried to keep it SR-compatible (avoiding nostart except for manysites provinces), I was under the impression that's something best done on the fly, randomized each time. I guess it would be easy enough to include one or two, though, if that would be a good idea.
On that note, if anyone thinks it would be a better idea just to remove nostart flags from the manysites provinces (the ones in which Jason Lutes put monoliths and other graphics) as well (thereby making them open-season for SemiRandom to modify as well), that would help tip me over the edge -- I've been on the fence on that one.
