You'll need to run this thru semi-random. I built this so I could beat the computer w/Niefelheim; I always start off strong with the dual bless, but fall hard on anything but a small map because the provincial defense isn't up to par.
This is a funny non-equilateral pentagon grid that I've used before and I like. I made the diagonals neighbors, but there are enough seas and mountains to make several clusters of land divided by narrow lanes one or two wide.
I worked hard to get it to look right, but I don't know what I'm doing. I've messed with typing scripts in on previous maps. I didn't do that on this one, because it's too much trial and error and I didn't have a special theme in mind anyway.
A couple of noob questions that are probably answered somewhere, but I didn't find them after considerable browsing:
a) Is there a way to get the caves to have an automatic "darkness" spell? Or is darkness automatic (even without a global icon?) and/or do I need to mod a monster who casts it?
b) is there a list of magic sites and what they do to make picking and choosing easier?
Thank you for your help, and I hope you like the map.
