Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection
The simplest mod for LA Pangaea would have been to clear the special abilities of the commanders, replace them, and use the #domsummon command to replace the free spawning. This would have allowed Pangaea to keep their free spawn no matter what level of order or turmoil they took.
Besides, it doesn't make sense to mess with minotaurs when pans are the units being affected. It would changed the dynamic of the nation so much that it would play like a completely different race.

The whole point is to remove the freespawn entirely. The issue is with the limit cap of the game.

Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection
I DLed the kingmaker zip, but when I extracted it, it reports as file type "file", rather than MAP, TGA, or SLI files like all my others.

Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection
When anything goes wrong with the map, we can all point our fingers at the same person-Dr. P!
j/k.
Your file should be a rgb file. It should not be a MAP File because that is not being posted for public viewing. The Map File contains the specific starting locations for 4 races, and they likely would not want that information known by every other player before the start of the game!
Additionally, I have coded the starting spot of all 61 nations, with 57 being random. And if the map file is posted, then the mystery of where your neighbors' capitals are will be removed and part of the thrill of exploration will be gone.
Dr. P has knowledge of the starting locations. I think fairness dictates that he not attack an enemy capital before turn 5.
While I also know where all the starting capitals are, i have never rushed anyone, as fast expansion is not my style. So my knowledge is irrelevant as my scouts will discover who my neighbors are long before i initiate any hostilities anyway. In any event i also agree not to attack any enemy capitals before turn 5.
And keep in mind that while Dr. P and I know where the starting capital locations are, we do not know who is where except for 4, LA Atlantis, La Marignon, EA Ryleh, and EA Oceania.
And as powerful as Niefel is, I am not sure they would want to rush a double or triple blessed mictlan blindly.

Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection
Hi!
The patch should be available tomorrow, since you seem to have a holiday today.
Don't touch Yomi in the mod! I'm playing Yomi! Not much use for me to play a nation to find imbalances if I get a modded nation

Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection
Good news on the patch!
There is no mod for any nation KO. Just having some fun.

Re: Mega Age II -Kingmaker(full) Race selection
Xietor, at my computer the Kingmaker map image appears as an "Unix file" when I look at the properties. Gimp will open it and call it 'rgb image', so it is a proper image, just something amiss with some specs.
Could you please start a test game with the image that one loads from the first post's link, and confirm everything works (if you haven't done it already)? I'd do it myself but as you pointed out, we don't have access to the .map file.

Here is what I get when I check the file with properties:
