Wishlist the Mappers Wishlist

Are there any sites that could be added to the provinces (or any other map modding mechanism) in order to make all battles in those provinces subject to darkness. I am thinking along the lines of the Agarthan cave city, but without the fortress or other effects. Dungeons should be dark, no?

I am not thinking about an entirely black/dark map, but rather a map with dungeon sections.

The new terrain of cave should do that. Im not sure how much its been implemented but thats what its supposed to be fore.

If a god is added to the map file, and the nation isnt in the game, the game creation blows up. That means that you cant add gods for nations or eras which might not get chosen for the game. I would rather that a god added was more "used IF the nation is chosen". Putting a #computerplayer line doesnt seem to help either.

How about map commands for temperature of a province. That would help maps that are trying to create a world with polar, temperate, tropical zones. For simplicity maybe make it match the games temperature ratings -3 to +3. And of course not be cumulative.

edited: hmmm for playability it might be best to make that -2 thru +2. That would mean that a -3 temp nation could drive a +2 temp province to -1. Still a hassle but not deadly.

There are sites that fiddle with the scales, yes? Aren't there some non-unique ones that increase heat/cold, too?

There are. Its a useable workaround. But I wouldnt want to put a specific site into every polar or tropical province. So I wouldnt say this is a "bug" thing. Just a "wishlist" thing.

Could you create a new site, called "Tropical clime" or something, that just increases heat and nothing else, and place it in every tropical province. That wouldn't be too awful.

Disadvantage (apart from clunkiness): Less normal magic sites in those provinces. And yep, very clunky.

I third the province temperature commands...
