[Alderanas]

hmm well i have a mac so i cant download rar files my computer only downloads zip and dmg files.

[Ballbarian]

WinRAR has a version for the Mac as well.
I have no idea if this is the best choice, but I bet there are other utilities available for the Mac as well.

One idea is the Sub-Worlds could get strong thematic defenders throughout, rather than at the portals. Otherwise the portals can be bypassed e.g. by Stealth. Still if the sub-worlds are worth it, people will teleport and cloud trapeze in SC's...

Another idea is fixed balanced placement locations and victory locations might be able to make it more balanced.

Another is to to make the Sub-Worlds less worth conquering, or the rest of the provinces more worthy of conquest, somehow.

Just some thoughts.

Gateways can get a big amount of chaff so they detect stealthy armies. And there is no way to prevent people from cloud trapezing or teleporting.

[PvK]

I don't think independents ever Patrol or detect sneaking units or even armies.

[Alderanas]

I haven't been able to use this map on my mac even with the trial download, but I appreciated your suggestion Ballbarian. The map thumbnail, at the top of this thread, looks good though.

Independents can patrol outside a castle now.

Im wondering if I should unRar this map and zip it on my server for other people who dont particularly want to add rar to their machine.

Are you sure? I thought they could be only made to defend the province as well as the castle, but not find stealthy units.

[Gandalf Parker]

Ahh you are right. I keep forgetting because the reason I so strongly wanted patrollers was so that you couldnt take the castle with a scout (all the defenders inside). You did find a way to put defenders outside (which I heartily thank you for) but not as patrollers. Thats still on the mapper wishlist.
