Default Re: New MP Game - Artifact Game - open!!

Yeah thats what I've done here. The mapfile that I distributed has no artifact or start location information, so that no player can open it and see where everyone is. Only the server's .map file has that info.

What concerns me tho is that some small changes were made to terrain and possibly province neighbors by the third party that I sent the map to for start placement. I am not sure if that information is communicated to the client you know? Doesnt the client use its local .map file to display neighbors and terrain info? And if thats the case, you could wind up with a client that says province A is a forest, when in fact it is a wasteland? I'm not sure...
