new map concept: KILL MAN!

Gandalf Parker · #1 February 12th, 2004, 06:04 AM

#description "Created with random map generator Version 1.91. 400 land provinces, 50 seas. The Independents have begun to form their own nation WITHOUT a Pretender! They have a headstart on you and have been joined by many angry deserters from other nations so you had better get busy. Their leaderless nation must not spread further!"

Man will be the AI with no special units and no pretender. But lots of starting provinces and extra units including pretender type units as normal troops and commanders. This will be a nightly re-rolled randomized map.

Interesting. Does "MAN" have the ability to build and construct like any other nation? Or do they just get an incredible head start along with a variety of randomized units as an army to begin with?

I guess ill have to try it out and see. Sounds like a good cooperative player map (besides its insane size, 400 provinces! yikes!)

OK thanks to Cherry Saber and Titowait for the tip. (using LF only will put carriage returns in the map description)

But this might have to wait. All my tricks for killing off an AI god is stopped right now by the "player has cheated" code. I will wait and see if its still that way after the patch before I decide to rewrite the story.

Maybe I will try a smaller map also.
