Scenario: World of Geometry (337 prov)

[Zeldor]

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I can just edit it in text editor.

Love the map so far;

I think I found a bug in prov 23: blank magic site.

Do yo have the academy underneath site in the province + a blank site or only a blank one ?

[GunslingerV]

Currently what's showing up is Cold Currents + a Blank site; I'll akashic record it to see if there's an academy underneath site.

Ok, no academy site in province, just a blank one.

Argh it's a huge bug :

I've tried to give me the provinces with Academy Underneath at start in a test map.

The result is :
- instead of Academy Underneath I get "Temple of the Land" (Mictlan eagle warrior site) with non recruitable units (as they are national and land only)
- all units of the special garrisons in the provinces are legionnaires or "old standard" instead of what they should be (hydromancers, tritons, shark knights) ; here too units are called by names and not IDs so I don't know what may cause the bug

(Note that I had deep seas garrisons disappearing without reason in previous test games -probably because of this bug making them land units-, I've changed and tested many but probably not these ones)

Just found what caused the bug : it's a stupid text editor problem, I've made special seas garrisons in notepad iirc and cut and pasted the texts, and this kind of quotation marks � was used ; when most of the map made with wordpad use this one ".

(edit : lol the forum itself doesn't seem to make a difference, but the difference appears in the .map text, one kind of quotation mark uses a different symbol for beginning and end of quote, when the other only uses one)

And the soft seems unable to recognize all � (end of quote) as correct quotation marks.

Affected provinces are probably : 187, 279, 307, 335, 286, 214, 99, 23, 15, 13, 20, 14, 66, 106 (about all deep seas provinces of the underworld except the two in which I have changed the garrisons in previous version because I've found they were bugged and the ones with big monsters made in wordpad)

(seas garrisons out of deep seas and of central deep seas were seen bugged and changed in wordpad and so aren't concerned ; should have made a test with a sea nation conquering the caves/deep seas )

ps : Gunsliger thanks a lot for the report

Version 6 attached to this post.

Replaced wrong quotations marks by correct ones.

Added killfeatures for provinces with 3 special sites or more.

It does look differently in my browser. Get a better browser...

Well, those other quotation marks you're using are definitely not ASCII but ISO 10646/8879 or Unicode. Thus it is no wonder that they caused trouble for the game.
