Map: Epotara / Late Era Scenario Posted

You should do all the dots in a colour like 254 1 2 then just do a colour exchange at the end turning 254 1 2 into 255 255 255. That way you can see them easily.

That sounds like a good idea, but I am new to GIMP. How do you do such a color exchange? (What I ended up doing was creating an extra layer that was dark purple that was later deleted.)

Pasha, have you seen LazyPerfectionist's BAG game? They are playing LA and are considering using this map.

Yep. As well, here's the quick answer to a color exchange- there may be a more elegant way.

Under the image's main menu-
Select->None.
Under the toolbox-
Select Regions by Color (Shift-O)
Uncheck all boxs (Antialiasing, Feather Edgess, Select transparent, sample merged).
Set Threshold to zero (essential)
Click on a dot. Voila, you now have all instances of that precise color selected.

Select the Bucket Fill (Shift-B)
Defaults: Opacity (100), Mode Normal
Important: Select as the affected area "Fill whole selection" this way, you will replace all the dots at once.
Select BG color fill

Select yourself a color- I suggest setting the palette back to default with the mini palette right next to the big palette. The background white is 255 255 255.

Now click in one of those tiny little dots in your previous selection. Done.

/Lecture mode: off. Thinking: resumed.

Ah, here's the more elegant method.

EDIT:
I originally thought provinces like 274 & 285 were broken- but it turns out I couldn't see the bridges. As a temporary measure, I suggest doubling or tripling the width of those bright pink bridges. Someone probably has a bridge graphic around you can use.

Hi L.P.!

Thanks for the help with GIMP. How exciting that someone might be planning to play on the new map. Let me know if you find any faulty provinces. I tried pretty hard to do them right.

Province 274 is very isolated due to the river. I believe I made it a no-start province.

You can't see the pink bridges? Maybe you zoom out a lot farther than I usually do? I thought they popped right out due to the color. If you zoom in and follow the rivers, you can find them pretty quickly. Once you know where they are, they are easy to spot. Did you need me to make them thicker for your game?

I heard this map was made by Burnsaber, and I just wanted to say I thought it was pretty low for PashaDawg to pretend he made it.

The map seems to get the scales bug alot. 3 out of 3 water nations got it, I kept restarting.

Also it loves starting the 1 water nation in the topmost of those 3 water provinces seperated from the main ocean. Also the nations starting on the islands have a huge disadvantage if there is 1 or 2 water nations.

The pink bridges are obvious to me and the towns.

Hi Meglobob:

Thanks for the comments.

Does the scale bug have anything to do with the map vs. the game itself? I know it happens primarily (if only) to water nations.

I designed the map with the intent to create a scenario for late age, where the nations would have defined starting spots. For example, two sailing nations were expected to start on large islands in the sea. Agartha would start in the cave with two outside entrances, etc. R'lyeh and Ermor were to be excluded, and so, no true water nations would start on the map (Late Age Atlantis starts above ground). I still plan to do that but it might need to wait until late October after my trip.

Har har.
