Default Re: Is there a guide or overview on how to make a map?

Some notes which might be of interest:

The "wrappable" command only affects how a map is displayed. It tells the game to wrap the image when scrolling. Unfortunately there is no X Y options on that command so there is no way to make it act correct for proper global maps. But its the #neighbor commands that make it work.

You can use ParadoxHarbringers map gen to create a wrappable map, then touch it up with some artwork and sprites. It does support XY on the wrap commands if you want to make a globally correct map.

I would recommend not using the Scendario command at this time. It does not do what its meant to do IMHO. Also the #computerplayer command is semi-broken. It works for server games but not for local games.
