Re: Map Making Questions
There are also a couple of terrain switches that dont show up in alot of peoples docs. Here are my own programming notes on the #terrain command....
Plains 0 (default)
Small 1
Large 2
Sea 4
Fresh Water 8 (affects some events)
Mountain 16
Swamp 32
Waste 64
Forest 128
Farm 256
NoStart 512 - for islands and special provinces
ManySites 1024 - increased site frequency
mountain - good for resources and magic sites, bad for money
forest - same as mountain, but less so
farmlands - good for money, bad for resources and sites
swamp - just plain bad
waste - good for magic sites, bad for money
sea - good for atlantis
nostart - no player can start with their capital here, use to mark off places they could get trapped in with no early expansion. Saves space in file instead of using #nostart but not as easy to edit
ManySites - good for boosting sites in corners or deadends when the terrain otherwise wouldnt
