Does map download work for you people?

I get the Kingmaker file, but it shows only as an "executable unix file", not .zip or an image file. What format should it be?

I'm one of those weird people with Mac OSX (10.5.2) so that might contribute something... :-/

EDIT: Never mind, managed to open it with Gimp and it looks ok. Just something strange with file type, I hope it isn't going to cause any problems?

There are some female players. But not many. What ever happened to Honeybadger?
I always felt a little gay calling him Honey in the posts (I usually shorten peoples names). I guess if he has a she though, it's cool then.

As to what happened to her, probably got burned out. Happens to me about every six months.

Because 4 different players want to switch to the new race. And is it fair to allow the switch if they already received their 1st choice of race?

For instance, Lolomo out rolled Admiralzhao for LA caelum. But now lolomo wants to ditch his 1st choice, and play the new race(as do 3 other players). Say I let Lolomo switch. Then Admiralzhao, seeing that his 1st choice, la caelum, is now open, says I want la caelum.

And so on and so forth. What is likely to result is more roll offs for races. And to be quite honest, I have already spent many hours on the race selection process.

Creating spreadsheets and ranking players' picks, then having a roll off. Not sure I want to go through that again, and I am also not sure I want the game delayed while a second bite at the apple occurs.

And inevitably, someone(s) will still not be completely happy even if the process is repeated. Of course race selection could have been 1st come 1st serve like most games, but i decided to follow Velusion's seeded race selection process for several reasons.

If it had been 1st come 1st serve, I would not have been stuck with LA Arcos, that is for darn sure! Though there is nothing "bad" about them, just not a race i would have selected 1st, or 10th, or 30th.




Dude. Don't do any of that. Who cares if player x chooses to switch with player y. Let 'em switch.
The player who originally had the race gets to decide who plays the race.

Chris, you may have missed my post above, but I did say I did not mind 2 players trading races before the game starts. That is not a problem. Good luck trading MA Man!
