Can't stick em under mountain graphics, not on this map anyway or on maps with border mountain provinces. I might be able add the sea terrain mask to some border mountain provinces (wonder if/how that combo would work) but that probably wouldn't cover them up completely. In the best case they might appear to ring the lake.
If they are to be connected, which would solve your issue of distance, they'd need to be far enough away from magic sites and the AI so the other teams don't complain about R'lyeh's easy access to both. The magic sites are a prize of sorts to the first team to reach em and hold them. |
I was suggesting just adding new provinces. Shouldn't even be that hard to do (add white dot in the center of the mountains so the game knows its a province, error check neighbor definitions and province definitions in the .map file, and add new ones for the new provinces). |
Oh you were suggesting I fiddle with the actual image file (something I didn't really want to have do and have no capable .rgb image editor at present) but I suppose yes, it might be possible. I was hoping you'd just be able to look at the map and say presto, this is where they should go without image editing.
Edit: I actually see 4 great locations for them in each corner of the map without having to actually touch the image file. There are problems with that placement though especially if connected. If not, well you'd just have to bust into the midst of the enemy camp to get at em. Would provide an incentive to destroy the enemy teams.
